What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a deep learning language model developed by OpenAI, which is capable of
generating human-like text based on the input provided. The main features of ChatGPT
include the following:

 Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT): ChatGPT is a cutting-edge, artificial


intelligence-based text generation model that utilizes transformer architecture to
create linguistically similar text to human writing. This technology has been pre-
trained on an immense amount of linguistic data, allowing it to generate intricate and
complex sentences with incredibly high semantic richness. Moreover, the output
produced by ChatGPT would be 50% longer than usual as it can draw upon a wide
range of diverse facts and details to expand upon the original input. This makes
ChatGPT an incredibly useful tool for generating long-form written content with ease
and fluency.

 Large-scale training: ChatGPT was trained on a massive dataset consisting of over


45 terabytes of text data. The model works by taking contextual cues from the query
and utilizing its store of knowledge to craft an appropriate response. Additionally,
ChatGPT can learn from user feedback, so it keeps improving over time, providing
better results each time the system is used.

 Contextual understanding: This AI tool can model various conversational scenarios


using its powerful language modeling and natural language processing capabilities.
Therefore, it allows ChatGPT to be able to recognize complex structures of
conversations such as discourse, dialogue acts, sentiment analysis, summarization,
etc. The system uses large conversational datasets to learn and generate meaningful
responses. By modeling contextual information from these datasets, ChatGPT can
comprehend nuances in conversations more accurately than existing AI systems.
Furthermore, it can perform many other tasks like text classification or text
summarization with high accuracy.

 Multiple use cases: ChatGPT can be used for various natural language processing
tasks, including question answering, text generation, dialogue generation, and text
classification, among others. It is an ideal tool for creating content from a different
perspective or brainstorming content ideas.

 Customization: We are speaking about a natural language processing (NLP) tool that
can be customized and fine-tuned to the specific requirements of any user or domain.
Retraining ChatGPT involves adjusting various parameters such as word choice,
sentence structure, and even word meanings to maximize its capabilities for the
intended task.

 API-based deployment: ChatGPT can be easily integrated into applications through


its API, allowing developers to build custom applications that leverage the power of
deep learning for text generation.

All-in-all, we talk about a versatile tool – still in development – that can help us for a large
scale of purposes. Users ought to keep in mind that responses, in some contexts, are not
accurate since the software may know about extremely specific topics. Hence, it is constantly
learning, and users can correct wrong inputs.

Summary of ChatGPT features

What does it mean to use AI in presentations?


AI tools are used in many different industries, but for presenters, ChatGPT presentations go
from the perspective of content generation. Let’s think about the main issues presenters face
as “creativity blocks”:

 Not knowing how to break concepts into simple terms or easy-to-apply steps.
 Not knowing how to summarize large chunks of text.
 Getting overwhelmed at the time of picking color combinations.
 Selecting which content should be allocated per slide.

On top of that, we can add lacking presentation skills and feeling stuck when working with
time-restrictive presentations as two extra creativity blockers. Although they can be
overcome with patience, harnessing new skills, and sometimes asking for professional
feedback, AI tools can bring a different perspective.

Think of slides AI powered by deep learning as having a coach next to you to help brainstorm
ideas for your presentations. You can ask the coach to give you a basic outline of a topic, a
selection of titles for an article or presentation, and even take a step further and hint hooks to
elevate the performance of your presentation. Some other tools, which we won’t dwell on
here, can help generate better graphics or analyze data you need to insert into your slides.

GPT for Slides


We are all familiar with ChatGPT, but in fact, this software implements what’s known as
Generative Pre-trained Transformer, the language model developed by OpenAI. Therefore,
ChatGPT isn’t the only gateway to use GPT for presentations.

The key to unleashing GPT-3 power in presentation design is to work with the now-released
open-access API that allows developers to use GPT-3 in their applications. Multiple
applications already count with integrations with GPT-3, such as Zapier, Copyleaks, Code
Snippets AI, and Notion AI, but the one that truly caught our interest is MagicSlides.

Although this is not equivalent to ChatGPT for Google Slides, MagicSlides is a third-party
plugin that allows us to work with the GPT-3 API in Google Slides. To use it, you must count
on an OpenAI account to create an API key access to GPT-3. Working with a single Gmail
account is recommended to avoid performance issues. If your Google Chrome profile has
multiple accounts, create a new profile from scratch and work only with one Gmail account.

Then, the concept is quite simple: you give the plugin a topic, the count of slides to create,
and that’s it. You can add extra info as an optional feature, like instructions for which tone to
use, which keywords to list, etc. The outcome is a simple presentation structure in a solid
color background; you can then customize from that first iteration to your preference, like
changing the Google Slides theme color, for example.

How to use ChatGPT in presentations to engage viewers


more effectively
Depending on your goals, there are multiple takes on how you can use ChatGPT to make
your presentations more engaging. For starters, you can use this deep learning model tool to
create AI-powered presentations in the format of interactive Q&As, allowing users to ask
questions and visualize the responses live. If your presentation has a multicultural audience,
ChatGPT offers the option to provide real-time language translation, which can be
integrated via subtitles into the presentation template.
Storytelling is a powerful asset for presentations, and through ChatGPT, users can generate
narratives from scratch or based on a set of prompts. These stories can be personalized by
adding interests from the audience’s members or preferences, so the story remains relevant to
the overall presentation. Another important feature to highlight is that we can generate
character dialogues for our stories, making the presentation more immersive and
entertaining for the audience. Also, ChatGPT can add contextual data in the shape of statistics
or big data information, turning them into understandable pieces of information rather than
complex concepts.

Illustration depicting a user working with ChatGPT

In terms of visuals, we can create captions and descriptions or generate alt-text for images,
videos, and animations, making them accessible-ready.

This same take can create accurate virtual tours through ChatGPT, providing information,
context, and insights on specific locations during a presentation.
Gamification is another area to exploit through AI-powered presentations, and we can add
that element to our slides in the following formats:

 AI-powered quizzes: By integrating ChatGPT in presentations, we can create AI-


power quizzes or trivia games as alternatives to Q&A sessions. This serves to test the
audience’s understanding of the topics exposed.
 Scavenger hunts: We can create a presentation powered by ChatGPT in which the
audience has to solve puzzles or find content based on the presentation information.

For sales purposes, ChatGPT can help business professionals to generate predictive analytics
models to understand market trends or customer behavior, making an impact in sales
presentations.

We cannot conclude this section without mentioning the ChatGPT integration procedure’s
basics required for some of the features exposed here. As users, we must integrate ChatGPT
into the presentation software as an API or a plugin. Then, the input recognition helps the
deep learning model understand text input from the user or the audience. Thanks to its NLP
(Natural Language Processing) algorithms, the information passed through the ChatGPT API
is processed to generate an appropriate response and streamed through selected mediums.

Case Study: Creating a smartwatch sales presentation


with the help of ChatGPT
When planning this article, the main objective was to test, from a presenter’s perspective,
introducing ChatGPT to craft a presentation. Therefore, we devised a hypothetical case: A
brand wishes to present its new smartwatch at a live event. The presentation has to be
streamed, and there is a select live audience attending the event. This presentation follows the
format of other tech presentations like new releases.

Which are our main objectives to achieve in this case study?

 Obtain an outline of what the presentation should be about.


 According to the “sales presentation for a smartwatch” requirements, obtain a list of
elements to include per slide.
 Generate suggestions on how to engage the audience to buy the product.
 Get insights on which elements to avoid while performing the presentation.
 Repurpose the presentation’s content to another format (article, social media,
infographic, etc.)

So, our case study starts after login into ChatGPT and giving detailed instructions: “Create an
outline for a sales presentation about smartwatches.”
Outline generated for a sales presentation about smartwatches in ChatGPT

ChatGPT generated this presentation outline:

1. Introduction
1. Brief overview of the topic
2. Purpose of the presentation
3. Importance of smartwatches in today’s world
2. Benefits of smartwatches
1. Convenience
2. Health & fitness tracking
3. Communication and notifications
4. Mobile payments
5. Time management and productivity
3. Key features of smartwatches
1. Display and design
2. Operating systems
3. Battery life
4. Water resistance
5. Sensors and tracking capabilities
4. Product demonstration
1. Showcase different models of smartwatches
2. Highlight unique features of each model
3. Live demonstration of various functions and capabilities
5. Customer testimonials
1. Share experiences of existing customers
2. Highlight the impact of using a smartwatch in their daily lives
6. Closing
1. Summary of benefits and key features
2. Call to action
3. Q&A session

Interestingly enough, it’s time to cross-reference with what we, as presenters, intend to create
out of the presentation.

Slide #1 – Introduction

As suggested, the ChatGPT introduction PPT will be handled through the first slide. Since the
brand presenting this smartwatch is already established and has brand recognition, the
purpose of the presentation shall track back to some key features of prior presentations. This
implies if the brand has an iconic aesthetic used to start the presentation, that format should
be preserved.
Example of a smartwatch release presentation using our One-on-one Meeting PowerPoint
Template. The illustrations used are merely representative and extracted from Pexels.com

The point about the importance of smartwatches in today’s world is rather obvious given the
kind of event; therefore, it will be replaced with some stats on how the brand has helped
customers through the years to improve their life thanks to these devices.

After the introduction is made, it should be immediately followed by an agenda slide.


Example of a smartwatch release presentation agenda slide using our One-on-one Meeting
PowerPoint Template. The illustrations used are merely representative and extracted from
Pexels.com

Slide #2 – Benefits of smartwatches

Instead of generalizing the benefits of smartwatches, this second slide will directly speak
about the features to be introduced in the to-be-released unit. It has to mention updates on
health and fitness tracking functions (i.e., sleep pattern recognition, medication reminders,
blood oxygen, wrist temperature, etc.), which new integrations it offers for mobile payments,
productivity tracking apps, and how the notification system is updated. For convenience, we
can directly mention a lighter watch specification (in terms of size and weight) or include
those elements in the third slide.
Slide #3 – Key features of smartwatches

Now is the time to display your product in front of an audience. Some high-key photos taken
by professionals should appear, as well as animations with a 360-view of the model.

Next, we have to talk about the specs. Battery life, display size, and type, display resistance,
waterproof/weather resistant capabilities. The new OS version to include in the unit, with the
revisions listed from a prior version. And to conclude, a list of the sensors paired with this
smartwatch and their expected functionality.

Product demonstration

This point doesn’t have to be a slide. It can be a blank slide. A slide featuring the title
“Product Demonstration” or a video. The purpose is to give room to the presenter to engage
with the device, showing its functionality in real time to the audience. Cameras should focus
on the watch in detail as the presenter emulates daily life activities using the smartwatch.

Slide #5 – Customer testimonials

This can also be displayed in video format, with happy customers interacting with priorly-
released units, to conclude with powerful graphics showing “the future” – a.k.a. the new
model released.

Slide #6 – Closing

This is where you can become creative. A good point would be to feature an infographic
comparing the functions and key specs between models (to highlight the reasons why users
should upgrade). Call-to-Actions are to be introduced here, using the element of excitement
to create interest in buying the product.

What ChatGPT suggested

We ran the exercise of asking ChatGPT what would be content to list on these slides, and
here is the output.
Outline of elements to include per slide in the case study presented using ChatGPT

Slide 1: Introduction

 A captivating image related to smartwatches (which we added)


 A brief overview of the topic
 The purpose of the presentation
 A statement about the importance of smartwatches in today’s world

Slide 2: Benefits of smartwatches

 Benefits include convenience, health and fitness tracking, communication and


notifications, mobile payments, and time management and productivity.
 An image or graphic to illustrate each benefit.

Slide 3: Key features of smartwatches

 A list of features includes display and design, operating systems, battery life, water
resistance, sensors, and tracking capabilities.
 An image or graphic to illustrate each feature.

Slide 4: Product demonstration

 Images or graphics of different models of smartwatches.


 A brief description of each model, highlighting unique features.
 A live demonstration of various functions and capabilities.

Slide 5: Customer testimonials

 Quotes from existing customers about their experiences with smartwatches.


 Images or graphics to accompany the quotes.
 Highlight the impact of using a smartwatch in their daily lives.

Slide 6: Closing

 A summary of the benefits and key features of smartwatches.


 A call to action (such as encouraging the audience to purchase a smartwatch)
 A space for questions and answers.

As we can see, ChatGPT’s approach isn’t far from what we accommodate the presentation to
be. It is pretty generalist despite mentioning the case in first person during the user input, but
that can be expected from AI deep learning models. Reiterative answers in some sections can
also happen, although not as noticeable as other alternatives to ChatGPT we shall mention
later.

Engaging the audience with ChatGPT

Points #1 and #2 of our case study are done, so we move to get suggestions from ChatGPT to
engage the audience about buying the brand’s smartwatches.
Suggestions for hooks to engage the audience about buying smartwatches from ChatGPT

This AI tool presents us with six different hooks to engage our audience.

 Pain point focus: We have to identify a common pain or problem many people face,
then show how our smartwatch solves that problem. For example, it uses the case of
difficulties experienced in time management and how a smartwatch can solve that
problem.
 Personalization: This hook focuses on how the smartwatch can be customized to fit
each individual’s needs and preferences. We can mention changing the watch face,
the app market, or using custom bands.
 Health and wellness: By highlighting the health and fitness tracking capabilities, you
can show customers how to lead a healthier and more active lifestyle.
 Convenience: This hook points to using the smartwatch in daily activities such as
making phone calls on the go, enabling mobile payments, or browsing notifications
without needing to check your phone.
 Emotional connection: Using customer testimonials, you can create personal stories
demonstrating a smartwatch’s positive impact on someone’s life.
 Highlighting unique features: This would be your competitive edge. Explain which
features make your smartwatch stand out in the market.

Recommendations on presentation mistakes

An advantage of GPT language is to develop accurate recommendations based on the context


showcased. For our case study, we asked ChatGPT if there were any mistakes to avoid when
giving this presentation about the release of a new smartwatch.
Mistakes to avoid when giving a smartwatch presentation generated by ChatGPT

In this case, ChatGPT presents us with seven mistakes that presenters commonly make on
topics like this. Lack of preparation we can put aside, as no professional presenter would
arrive at a product release presentation without proper practice and assets.

The second mistake is related to bombarding your audience with technical details, which can
end up boring the spectators. Instead, it offers the alternative of shifting focus to the product’s
benefits and how it can help solve real-life problems.

Ignoring the competition as a mistake is questionable. You don’t see Apple speaking about
Samsung smartwatches in their product releases, nor Sony talking about Nintendo or Xbox
when presenting their newest PlayStation unit. That should go more from a preparation side
when researching what the competition did to catch the audience’s attention.

Not showing the product! This suggestion surprised us. Honestly, how can you come up with
a presentation about a product release and not even show a photo of the product itself?

Failing to answer questions can happen if the presentation stretches long enough to conclude
the event, but it is not a common mistake in professional technology presentation events.

Poor visuals and slides, yes, we concede it is a common issue experienced by presenters,
especially if they are overly populated with text.

Finally, it lists not practicing the presentation, which we also put aside as we did with the first
mistake.

Overall, we ended up with 2 valid suggestions to look for out of the seven suggested. We can
always retry the output, but when we tested that, the suggestions were pretty much similar.

Repurposing content with ChatGPT

So what if we intend to use the information in this presentation for another medium, for
example, a blog post on the brand’s website. We asked ChatGPT to give 10 title ideas for
blog posts on smartwatches for a tech website.

 “The Top 10 Features of the Latest Smartwatches”


 “Why Smartwatches Are the Future of Personal Technology”
 “How to Choose the Best Smartwatch for Your Lifestyle” – OK
 “The Health Benefits of Owning a Smartwatch” – OK
 “The Most Innovative Smartwatches of the Year”
 “Smartwatches vs. Traditional Watches: Which is Right for You?”
 “Maximizing Your Productivity with a Smartwatch” – OK
 “How Smartwatches are Changing the Game for Fitness Tracking” – OK
 “The Convenience of Mobile Payments with a Smartwatch” – OK
 “The Impact of Smartwatches on the Wearable Technology Market”

Out of the ten titles suggested, half are a good fit for the content of our presentation, which,
of course, require additional research.

Asking ChatGPT for extra recommendations

So far, the outputs generated by ChatGPT have been interesting from a content perspective.
But let’s ask some more questions to test its true capabilities as AI content.

We start by asking, on that same thread, how long the presentation should be.
Output about presentation duration by ChatGPT

It gives a vague answer about sales presentations, recommending sticking it below the 30-
minute mark. The section about “clear, concise, and engaging manner” is presented as a vice
through this thread – we believe we counted about 7-8 times that same sentence repeated in
the entire chat.

We move on to another question, this time asking ChatGPT which would be the best visual
medium to present a smartwatch: a detailed infographic or a video.
Output about visual medium for presenting a smartwatch by ChatGPT

Again, we see the “clear, concise, and engaging manner” phrase in the second paragraph,
which is somewhat rephrased in the final paragraph of this output. The suggestion retrieved is
that infographics can help sales presentations highlight key features and benefits while also
clarifying to the audience what your competitive advantage is. It recommends using videos as
a bridge for emotional connection with the audience since they can demonstrate the product
in action.

Finally, we wanted some suggestions about the color scheme in the presentation slides to
encourage customers to buy the product. Below is an image of the output generated.
Output about selecting colors for slides in a smartwatch presentation by ChatGPT

If you check our article about color theory, especially in the section about color psychology,
the suggestions are okay. The question lies in a generalist output rather than explicitly
suggesting a color palette for this. To be honest, we can retrieve the same answer when
asking Google for the same search query. But what if we truly push ChatGPT to answer what
we intend?

We reformulated the question with the following statement: “My brand’s colors are yellow,
navy blue, and white. Can you suggest exactly which colors I should use for the slides?”
Keep in mind the second question was right below the output generated above. Well, here’s
what happened.
Failure to retrieve a response in ChatGPT

ChatGPT delivered this message: “That model is currently overloaded with other requests.
you can retry your request, or contact us through our help center at help.openai.com if the
error persists.”

This is an error we experienced multiple times when asking complex questions. Sometimes
ChatGPT remains idle trying to process the answer. Other times, it writes an output (even
quality ones) to halt them, and triggers that same error message, deleting the output generated
up to that point – a frustrating experience.

Best practices for using ChatGPT in presentations


Now it’s time to brief some tips to help presenters extract the potential of ChatGPT for
presentations at its current state-of-the-art.

Avoid complex inputs

As we’ve seen above, asking a very detailed question can make ChatGPT crash. You can
question whether it is your mistake or just the server overloading. A good practice for this is
checking ChatGPT’s homepage, and if the message shown below is displayed, there’s a
server outage.

Server restriction by ChatGPT


This can be flagged as a partial outage triggered by requests going way higher than the
system can handle. Those peaks in navigation are seen at certain hours, especially during the
Pacific Time afternoon. A complete server outage can happen, and that’s notified through a
different warning, saying the service will be up soon.

Don’t rely on the text generated by ChatGPT

Especially if your intent is to repurpose the presentation’s content for a blog post, be EXTRA
cautious when using AI tools like ChatGPT. Google is flagging and penalizing websites that
retort to AI content generation. This is explained by the necessity of providing users with the
best quality content available for their search queries. Your website can endure a severe
demotion in rankings triggered by ChatGPT content.

A good practice is to rephrase the content manually, meaning to actually read what ChatGPT
generated and explain it in your own words. That way, ChatGPT becomes an idea generator
rather than a content generator.

Take a look at repeated outputs

You can always regenerate the response if the output doesn’t satisfy your needs or rephrase
the question to make it more specific. We tested the option of saying “do not include…” but
it works randomly.

Any AI tool for presentation is not intended to become an instant solution, and we cannot
assume that we can entirely create a presentation with ChatGPT as the only resource. This
process requires patience, skills to give the proper instruction (to avoid those repeated
outputs), and a good deal of copywriting skills.

Outlines and title generation

ChatGPT is an amazingly effective tool for creating presentation outlines, helping a


common’s writer block. Title generation is accurate, although it falls into the generalist
category and can be easily flagged as AI content. We advise you to double-check titles,
rephrase, or simply use the output for brainstorming.

Learning a new skill/definition

Say you have to deliver a presentation about a concept you don’t clearly understand – which,
under some situations, can perfectly happen. ChatGPT can help you learn that concept to
basic professional competence, and you can ask as many questions as desired to get a broader
picture of the topic. Think about it as a personal, free coach.

Of course, do not take the outputs as absolutely true, as some responses can be biased through
the machine learning procedures applied. With dedication, you can train ChatGPT yourself
and help the community get better responses.

Evaluate emotions

Yes, as cutting-edge as it sounds, the natural language processing features of ChatGPT and its
machine learning algorithms help users evaluate their emotions in different datasets. How can
this process be accomplished? Let’s go through a basic overview.

 Data Collection: Feed ChatGPT with transcripts from speeches or customer reviews.
 Model Review: ChatGPT uses machine learning algorithms such as Support Vector
Machines (SVM) or Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) to develop the emotion
recognition model.
 Prediction: After the system processes the information, the output is sent using
predictions that can be repurposed into new information.
 Integration: With the new information generated, we can create graphs and charts to
turn into visually-understandable data the emotion analysis generated.

This kind of feature is ideal for processing large chunks of data regarding customer reviews
and finding common patterns of conflict (i.e., areas in which customer service can be
improved).

Alternatives to ChatGPT for using AI in presentations


Despite being the best-advertised option for GPT language tools, presenters should check
other AI alternatives for content generation.

Jasper

In our experience, Jasper one of the best content generator based on AI available in the
market. We tested it in multiple scenarios, like generating metas, creating a presentation
structure, generating step-by-step solutions, title ideas, and more.
Jasper’s Dashboard

We can work from pre-made templates or directly use the powerful Boss Mode, which is
intended for long-format text generation, and it crawls the internet to search for valid
answers.
Jasper’s Boss Mode in action

Our objections? Jasper can be reiterative with its answers, rephrasing or reusing the same
sentences in the L length (which is the maximum) of text generation. Much like what happens
with ChatGPT, some answers fall into the generalist side, meaning there’s room for
improvement.

Frase

Frase is an AI tool for content generation to improve Google search ranks.


Frase AI content generation tool

We can appreciate considerable differences in keyword management for content generation


(Jasper only allows 3 keywords), maybe due to this tool’s primary intent, which is web
content.

Users can generate presentation structure, content briefs, large pieces of content, detailed
analysis, and more, and customize where the AI engine is extracting the information from (if
SERP, People Also Ask, Questions, Headers, Topics, etc.)

For presenters, Frase can be used to generate speeches or repurpose presentations into quality
blog articles.
Tome

Tome.app ppt is a new multimedia tool to generate AI-powered presentations by integrating


ChatGPT, Dall-E, and other interesting features.

Tome’s UI for AI presentation generation

The free mode offered by Tome is pretty simple. You sign in and then are offered a set of
pre-made templates to test. Or, you can hit the create button and create a presentation from
scratch.
You then write what the Tome presentation is about and click on create. Options for selecting
which type of illustrations you want to add are listed, and if you intend to create a
presentation, an outline, or a story.

Example of the Smartwatch product release presentation generated in Tome

It is an interesting take on presentation crafting. However, some users can feel it is restrictive
due to using only Dall-E-generated images instead of uploading their photos.

iA Presenter

Finally, we have iA Presenter, a tool still in the beta stage with a waitlist to access its
features.
iA Presenter landing page

The proposal is truly interesting: you introduce text that can be extracted from multiple
sources, and then you designate which are the headlines (using the # in front of the text).
Slides are separate from each other by adding a – – – (triple dash) on the text.

Images can be easily incorporated, and there are plenty of options to create visual cues, such
as gradients, which are better audience magnets than common bullet points.

Complementary AI for Presentations


In this section, we wish to list some of the tools we have tested to speed up the content
creation process from scratch. Yet when we consider the future of AI presentation as
something vague, these tools have caused an uproar in terms of content development.

JasperArt

Can you imagine converting text to images with accurate results? Well, Jasper upgraded their
content offer with a new plan: Jasper Art & Write. You can then access the new Art
functionality, which takes input from users and generates images in various styles: Cartoon,
Illustration, 3D Rendering, Pixel Art, and Retro, among others.

Users must include a basic image description (although the more detailed, the better), select
the artistic style, medium (like watercolor, acrylics, ink, etc. – much like traditional art
mediums), artist/style, mood, and keywords.

Artist style surprised us with options like Dr. Seuss, Picasso, Pixar, and Van Gogh. It is a
limited selection – 8 artists – with popular options like the South Park animation style.

Although you can generate images resembling stock photos, we wouldn’t advise using them
in your presentations as they look quite odd when zoomed in. These limitations are likely to
be lifted in upcoming revisions, but the current state-of-the-art does not encourage presenters
to come up with photorealistic people results.

DALL-E

DALL-E is the AI text-to-image generator used by multiple AI slides apps. It works similarly
to JasperArt, but its integration with several applications helps presenters not to hop between
software options.

The output generated by DALL-E is mostly geared toward artistic-style images, although you
can come up with results pretty close to photorealism in landscapes and architectural images.
The main advantage? Completely original images ready to be used in any presentation, blog
post, social media, or video.

MidJourney

As the final AI image generation tool on this list, we should mention MidJourney, an AI tool
that has raised controversies when winning an artist competition against real-life artists.

To access MidJourney, you have to apply to the official waiting list. After you are accepted,
you’ll receive an invitation to their Discord server – a requirement to interact with the tool.

Like any Discord server, your interactions with the tool are public unless you create a private
channel and invite the MidJourney bot to it. This would be our personal suggestion so you
preserve the privacy of your projects. MidJourney works with credits in a subscription-based
plan (basic tiers allow 200 images per month). The time to process each image depends on
demand.

DeepAI

As we have seen with Jasper, DeepAI is a text-generator AI tool based on NLP (natural
language processing). Its application is to create creative content as if written by humans, but
we found its most powerful application in text translation.
If you used to struggle with making subtitles for your presentations, then take a look at
DeepAI now.

Synthesia.io

We can all agree that video content production is expensive. Especially if we have to hire
actors to do voiceovers or have them appear in video presentations. Synthesia.io takes video
content creation a step further, allowing us to produce realistic videos with realistic AI
avatars. These avatars are gender diverse, and they can fit multiple contexts, like doctors,
corporate workers, athletes, common people, and even Santa Claus!

There is multiple language support available for Synthesia, with access to distinctive accents
(like you want your avatar to talk in Mexican Spanish rather than Castillan). 50 customizable
video templates are available for users, and you can also retrieve graphic assets from your
computer or royalty-free services like Unsplash or Pexels.

This tool is subscription based, but you can start with a free trial. For a text-to-video tool, the
fee doesn’t sound that expensive, especially considering the outcome and what it would be to
produce such reels with real-life actors. We want to highlight that, in some cases, avatars look
a bit robotic (like not blinking when speaking), so test the different options available with
enough time to craft the best quality video for your needs.

Murf AI

If you want to deliver presentations with realistic AI voiceovers, then you ought to test Murf
AI. It is a text-to-audio AI generator, with a library of more than 100 professional voice
actors in 20 different languages. Creating voiceovers in Google Slides presentations is an
easier task now as you can export voice, voice + music, and even subtitles in formats like
MP3, WAV, or FLAC. Exporting to video is another option, but we find tools like Synthesia
to be more powerful for this purpose.

Exploring the potential of AI-generated visuals in


presentations
In the world of presentations, captivating visuals are a key component of delivering impactful
messages to the audience. ChatGPT brings a new dimension to presentation design by
enabling the creation of AI-generated visuals. These visuals can be seamlessly integrated into
PowerPoint or other presentation software, enhancing the overall quality and appeal of the
slides.

AI-generated visuals offer versatility and efficiency in content creation. Whether it’s
generating intricate charts, informative infographics, or stunning graphics, ChatGPT can
quickly analyze data and generate prompts that can be provided as input used to produce
visually engaging content through other AI tools such as “Tome”, etc. Presenters can now
spend less time designing visuals and more time perfecting their narrative.

Moreover, ChatGPT allows for personalized visuals based on the presenter’s preferences and
the audience’s needs. By analyzing the context and content of the presentation, ChatGPT can
tailor visuals that align with the presenter’s style and audience preferences, ensuring a more
immersive and tailored experience for the viewers.
Overcoming challenges and limitations with ChatGPT in
presentations
While ChatGPT brings remarkable potential to presentations, it is not without its challenges
and limitations. One of the primary challenges is ensuring the accuracy and reliability of AI-
generated content. Presenters must exercise caution and review the AI-generated text and
visuals to verify their correctness before incorporating them into their presentation. Fact-
checking is essential to avoid unintentionally presenting false or misleading information.

Additionally, ChatGPT’s lack of emotional intelligence may hinder its ability to respond
appropriately to emotionally charged topics or gauge audience sentiment accurately.
Presenters should be mindful of relying solely on ChatGPT for sensitive or emotionally
nuanced presentations, as human intuition and empathy remain irreplaceable in such
scenarios.

Furthermore, ChatGPT may encounter difficulties with understanding context and providing
relevant content. ChatGPT 4.0 encounters these difficulties more often than the legacy
versions because of the misuse of premium features by different users. As the model’s
capabilities evolve, these limitations are expected to improve. Presenters should keep these
limitations in mind and be prepared to fill in any gaps that arise during their presentations.

Incorporating natural language processing in presentation


interactions
Natural language processing (NLP) is a powerful tool that complements ChatGPT’s
capabilities, enhancing presentation interactions and audience engagement. With NLP
integration, presenters can enable real-time interactions with ChatGPT during the
presentation. Audience members can ask questions, seek clarifications, or even participate in
interactive polls, fostering a more engaging and dynamic presentation experience.

ChatGPT, with NLP capabilities, can comprehend complex questions and provide relevant
responses, making Q&A sessions more productive and informative. This interaction helps
presenters address specific audience queries promptly, creating a more personalized and
tailored experience for each viewer.

Moreover, NLP can enable sentiment analysis during the presentation, allowing presenters to
gauge audience reactions and adapt their content and delivery accordingly. This level of
audience understanding helps keep the presentation engaging and ensures the audience
remains captivated throughout the session.

Enhancing audience interactivity with AI-powered Q&A


sessions
AI-powered Q&A sessions take audience interactivity to the next level. With the help of
ChatGPT, presenters can facilitate extensive Q&A sessions without being constrained by
time limitations. Audience members can pose their questions, and ChatGPT can process and
categorize them, helping presenters provide comprehensive and accurate answers.

Additionally, ChatGPT’s ability to predict follow-up questions can be instrumental in


providing more insightful responses. This increased interactivity and engagement make the
audience feel more involved and valued during the presentation.
AI-powered Q&A sessions also benefit presenters by allowing them to gather feedback and
insights from the audience. This feedback loop can be valuable for improving future
presentations and tailoring content to the specific needs of the audience.

A much-expected upgrade: GPT-4


With the announcement of GPT-4 by OpenAI, there is much guessing about what it will
bring. We know that its application will roll only for ChatGPT Plus services, whereas the
popular free service sticks to GPT-3.5 for the time being.

Given the reception of ChatGPT, and the confirmation of an API in the GPT-4 version, the
new GPT release shall cover these main aspects:

 Visual content creation (images, videos, audio recordings from input).


 Content writing and educational material (apps like Duolingo and Khan Academy
confirmed their integration with GPT-4).
 Better context understanding (something that GPT-3 had to be trained to grasp the
user’s requirements properly).

So, in general lines, it may seem like a LOT of money to invest in subscription services,
especially if we add to the mix the fees to access software like Microsoft 365, Adobe Suite,
Canva, learning apps, entertainment, and the list goes on.

Who will benefit from using GPT-4? This is a good question considering how OpenAI
targeted its marketing campaigns: 25k word processing limit from user’s input, web-crawling
for text interaction, as well as improved conversations.

Companies and professional content creators are the number one target user for this GPT-4
version. The whole idea of the upgrade in the language model by OpenAI is to serve the
needs of those who have continuous practical usage of AI tools to speed up their job, not
casual hobbyists. And its application is expected to break all concepts considering how the
U.S. government restricted access to China and Russia to the newer AI chips from Nvidia and
AMD graphic cards.

Well, how does this premium version of GPT helps us, presenters? GPT-4 for presentations
can deliver proper content structure to explain complex concepts, which GPT-3 and GPT-3.5
often struggled with if queries were on the rise. Working with big data and exporting
information as reports is among the expectations of academic users. Also, given the
experience with GPT-3, we believe GPT-4 will raise a vital asset to create engaging video
content in presentations based on the audience’s interests and the topic to present. Again,
these are predictions; we will confirm these hypotheses in the upcoming months.

Future possibilities: AI’s role in transforming


presentations
As AI technology, including ChatGPT, continues to advance, the future of presentations
holds exciting possibilities. We can expect AI to play an even more significant role in
transforming the way presentations are created and delivered.

AI-driven virtual presenters might become a reality, capable of conducting presentations


autonomously. Such virtual presenters could adapt their content and delivery based on real-
time audience interactions, resulting in highly personalized and engaging presentations.
Furthermore, AI could aid presenters in speech coaching, offering suggestions for improving
delivery, tone, and engagement. This real-time assistance can help presenters refine their
presentation skills and deliver more effective talks.

The integration of AI-generated visuals and animations could lead to stunning and immersive
presentations, captivating audiences like never before. AI’s ability to analyze audience
preferences and behavior can also enable dynamic content generation, ensuring that
presentations remain relevant and compelling to diverse audiences.

ChatGPT can produce intriguing content pieces for presentations, and now you can use it to
generate the content for your slides, a presentation structure, or even the images and visuals
for your presentations, with its built-in integration with DALL-E 3. This AI engine can create
ideas and prompts for the pictures and visuals that would enhance the quality of your work.
Alternatively, you can use other AI tools for image generation with the prompts created by
ChatGPT.

Ethical considerations when using AI in presentations


As we embrace the potential of ChatGPT and other AI technologies in presentations, ethical
considerations must be at the forefront of our minds. Presenters must be transparent about the
use of AI-generated content, informing their audience about the degree of AI usage. In
scenarios where AI is not used to generate the exact content for presentations and answers,
presenters are not ethically bound to make a statement. However, if AI had a vital role in
coming up with the answers presented to the audience, the presenters are ethically bound to
make a statement about the use of AI in their presentation.

Additionally, data privacy and security should be given utmost importance. Presenters must
ensure that sensitive information is not shared with AI platforms and that data is handled
responsibly and in compliance with relevant regulations.

While AI can greatly enhance presentations, it is crucial to retain human oversight and
judgment. Presenters should avoid over-reliance on AI and ensure they maintain control over
the content and flow of the presentation. AI should be treated as a valuable tool that
complements human expertise rather than a substitute for it.

Ultimately, embracing AI in presentations requires a thoughtful and responsible approach,


where the benefits of technology are balanced with ethical considerations and human values.

Closing thoughts
The current state-of-the-art for AI presentations is rather incipient. 2022 can be taken as the
first year in which AI started to fill the conversation topics and proved itself as a powerful
variant to human-created content, although not a replacement.

We consider there’s room for improvement in ChatGPT for PowerPoint presentations and in
all tools presented here, which naturally shall follow through usage. Regarding ChatGPT, the
potential lies in idea generation, not in copying/pasting extracted content. Think of ChatGPT
as an extra tool in your arsenal to become a better presenter, not the panacea for presentation
design.
