78%

Reality

By 2026 AI presentation tools convert outlines, documents and data into visually consistent slide decks in minutes. Designers use AI to create templates, export assets, and produce localization-ready slides. Human input is still required for storytelling, data accuracy and final visual polish.

AI Impact

AI handles layout, image selection, iconography, and basic data visualization. It speeds up pitch creation, sales enablement, investor decks, and internal training materials. Agencies can deliver more decks per week and offer slide A/B testing for messaging.

Difficulty

Low. Basic deck generation is simple. Creating persuasive, conversion-focused decks requires storytelling skills, data visualization knowledge, and brand alignment. For high-stakes decks (investor, sales), human review is essential.

Time to Learn

1 week to produce clean decks with AI tools. 3–6 weeks to master storytelling templates, slide sequencing and data viz best practices.
