Speed Up Your Events with AI Presentation Design
Is there anything untouched by AI these days?
AI presentation design is quickly becoming a go-to tool for businesses that care about enticing, exciting and expanding their audiences with content that connects & converts.
AI won’t totally replace a talented designer crafting your slides (yet), but it will give you a head start or speed up the process of outlining, finding images, and fleshing out details.
With AI tools now available in PowerPoint, it's easier than ever to create stunning visuals that capture the attention of your guests.
Read on to learn how you can use this cutting edge technology to take your events from good to great with these tips on creating AI-generated content.
What is AI Presentation Design?
Using AI to design your presentations is all new territory, but it can help you go from good to great by releasing some of the pressure you might feel to redesign slides while thinking about the content that goes on them.
No more crunched-over-your-laptop-in-an-airport shifting objects around while enroute to your event destination.
AI algorithms create content from user-provided inputs, such as text or images, with the aim of making presentation design simpler yet still quality enough based on design templates that are easy to consume and improve comprehensive and retention.
Right now AI-generated material can work for a lot of projects, ranging from slideshows to immersive presentations with videos, animations, and 3D visuals.
“AI presentation design” refers specifically to the use of automated processes and algorithms in order to create visuals for a presentation that have been specifically designed by using data about the target audience's preferences and interests. This includes taking into account elements such as their age range, gender, language preferences etc., which helps create visuals that are more likely to engage them.
The automated nature of AI Presentation Design offers a multitude of advantages, such as:
increased accuracy in terms of designing visuals according to user comprehension & retention
faster turnaround times due to automation (plug in a document and get a V1 presentation in minutes)
improved scalability through cloud computing capabilities (edit with your team)
enhanced personalization potential with customization options available for each slide or page within a presentation deck (smart templates)
Furthermore, you can save enormous time, energy and resources while still creating dynamic visualizations created using natural language processing (NLP) that are sure to engage your audience. In other words, knowing about this cutting-edge technology is hugely valuable for event producers looking to make their clients’ lives easier.
“Some people call this artificial intelligence, but the reality is this technology will enhance us. So instead of artificial intelligence, I think we’ll augment our intelligence.”

How to Use AI for presentations?
AI-generated presentations can help entice, excite and expand your audience when aligned overall with your premium event brand.
Like all things AI, however, you will make it better the more “human” you make it. The more stories you share. The more personal images you have. These things create connection with the audience.
Creating an AI-generated presentation requires several steps and best practices in order to ensure the content is engaging and effective.
Here’s how you can use AI for presentations:
Start by gathering data about your topic. Create an outline of the main points and arguments. Stay out of the presentation software as long as possible so you give yourself a chance to refine your ideas.
Decide on your software (besides PowerPoint, beautiful.ai, Adobe Spark & pitch are also solid options), begin exploring available options such as PowerPoint's Designer feature or other top-tier solutions like Adobe Spark.
Input your outline into the software to create a V1 deck. Your outline will allow the software to generate visuals based on the data that are relevant and tailored specifically to your audience from your outline.
Once you have customized the visuals to make sure they’re capturing the meaning behind your message, you can further refine them to make sure the overall look aligns with your overall event brand. Depending on the software, you can also apply a template at this phase and speed up the process again.
Tips for Making the Most Out of AI-Generated Content:
When using AI generated content in presentations, you can’t just rely on what’s automatically created. AI is often wrong or just makes stuff up because it knows it sounds good if it were true (scary, right?!)
But another area where it matters is including elements specific to your story or point of view to give each slide its own personality, while still remaining consistent with the overall theme of the presentation.
Adding these stories or anecdotes related directly back to topics discussed within slides helps keep audiences engaged rather than simply having them passively observe what’s being presented without taking anything away from it afterwards.
And of course, like we advise all of our clients, have a back up plan if the tech fails! Don’t rely on slides to do the communicating for you. We learned this the hard way once when doing a client event where we lost the teleprompter feed, and the CEO needed their script to finish.
Popular Tools for Creating AI-Generated Content
PowerPoint’s New Feature – Copilot:
Microsoft PowerPoint recently leaked “Copilot” that will use AI to create presentations (here).
This feature helps users automatically generate slides with pre-populated content and design elements.
With the help of AI, it can detect the main topic of your presentation and suggest relevant images and graphics that you can use in your slides. It also suggests layout options for each slide so you don’t have to worry about manually arranging elements on each page. The Designer tool is an easy way to quickly create professional-looking presentations without having any prior design experience or knowledge.
You can also start your presentation from a Word document, and the AI will automatically create presentation slides based on the content of the Word document.
Gone are the days when you developed content outlines, scripts, presentations, and then speaker’s notes in four different or four simultaneous processes that frustrate your support team and executives alike.
Other Leading Tools for Creating AI-Generated Content: There are many other tools available for creating AI-generated content such as Adobe Spark, Canva, Slidebean, Venngage, Piktochart and more. These tools allow users to easily customize their own templates using drag & drop features while still getting the benefit of automated designs created by artificial intelligence algorithms. Additionally, these platforms offer advanced features like data visualization capabilities which make it easier (and way faster) to present complex information in an organized manner through charts and graphs.
Creating AI-generated content is a great way to speed up your presentation design process. Don’t be afraid to experiment and make new discoveries along the way, it just might even help your creative process to uncover new opportunities.
