Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 18 of the 51 other presentation tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about SlidesAI, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Credits, model tiers and brand kits all need setting up.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Pro is $10 a user a month billed yearly, the category's middle. Premium is $20.83. Monthly-billing prices were not in the page text. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Basic is free with 200 AI credits a month, 2,500 characters of input and up to 10 slides. Pro's 30,000 yearly credits cover about 140 decks, so Basic covers roughly one. |
| Features | C | Create from a topic or document, brand kits, model tiers and an outline step. Document upload and decks over 10 slides need paid plans. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Credits, model tiers and brand kits all need setting up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, with Google Slides, PowerPoint and ChatGPT connections. No desktop or phone app is listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Students and educators who want a fast first draft of a deck
- People who prefer to stay inside Google Slides or PowerPoint
- Teams that need decks built from an approved 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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
