AI presentation makers
Type a topic or drop in a doc, get a deck back. Every tool here does that. What splits them is where the slides live afterwards. Gamma, Pitch, Beautiful.ai, Presentations.AI and Decktopus give you their own editor and export to PowerPoint when you need it. Plus AI and SlidesAI work with Google Slides and PowerPoint, so the deck stays in the file your team already uses. Gamma, Pitch, Presentations.AI and SlidesAI have free plans; Beautiful.ai and Plus AI start with a trial. Plus AI and Decktopus also run as MCP servers, so Claude can build the deck for you. 7 tools, in the order they appear in the directory. This is not a ranking.
