Our take
The design of business and marketing presentations takes time and manpower, more than companies and creatives often have. Slidespeak has created an AI platform that allows customers to input content and mock up presentations automatically.
Slidespeak’s software summarises Word documents, PDFs and other files into striking PowerPoint presentations and vice versa. The company claims to improve productivity by 5x and advertises itself as the ChatGPT of presentations.
Though a small company, Slidespeak’s intuitive tool has the potential to stand out against similar AI tools with the right marketing and product direction. We will have to wait and see how the company develops into the future, but its certainly one to watch.
