Best for AI slides inside Google Slides
SlidesAI makes slides from a topic, notes or a document and works inside Google Slides and PowerPoint. Basic is free with 200 credits a month, about one deck. Pro is $10 a month billed yearly, and unused credits do not roll over.
Who SlidesAI is for
- Fits if you make slides in Google Slides and want a draft from your notes
- Works for students on the $10 Pro plan
Who SlidesAI is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 200 credits a month, which is about one deck
- Skip it if you want unused credits to carry over, as they do not and free users cannot buy more
- Pricey if you want 20 or more slides a deck, as that needs Pro, and 50+ needs Premium at $20.83
- Watch out: Teams Pro and Teams Premium prices were not read, and the monthly prices are not in the page text

Keep SlidesAI, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of SlidesAI you could make: templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A slide editor.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. SlidesAI’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is SlidesAI?
SlidesAI writes and designs a deck from a topic, notes, a script or an uploaded document. It runs as a web app, a Google Slides add-on, a PowerPoint add-in and inside ChatGPT. Plans are metered in AI credits, and brand kits let it build from your own PowerPoint template.
Worth knowing
- Unused credits do not roll over, and extra credits cannot be bought on the free plan.
- A Monthly Billing option exists, but its prices are not in the page text, so only yearly prices are recorded.
- Teams Pro and Teams Premium add roles and central billing; their prices were not read.
- Individual and Team plans are sold by Dodo Payments as merchant of record.
Key features
- Create from a topic or document
- Type a topic, paste notes or a script, or upload PDF and Word files (Pro and up). It asks a few questions about slide count and tone first.
- Brand kits
- Import your branded PPTX template and decks follow its layouts, colors, fonts and logo: 1 kit on Basic, 3 on Pro, 6 on Premium.
- AI credits and model tiers
- Credits pay for AI work. A 10-slide deck on the default model uses 105 credits; higher-quality models cost more per action.
- Outline before slides
- An outline opens beside the chat with one line per slide, which you can edit or reorder before the text is written.
- Works inside other tools
- Available as a Google Slides add-on, a PowerPoint add-in and in ChatGPT, as well as the web app.
- Export
- Present, share a link, or export to PowerPoint or Google Slides.
