Create fully native and editable presentations with Gemini

Create fully native and editable presentations with Gemini in Google Slides

You can now create a full, multi-slide presentation using Gemini in Google Slides. With a single prompt, you can ground the presentation in existing content from Google Drive, match the style of another presentation, and build fully editable slides, allowing you to make any necessary adjustments. Gemini will also suggest relevant files, emails, and chats that you can choose to add to enrich your presentation.

Try the following to create more relevant, compelling presentations in less time:

Add a prompt: In the Slides side panel, add a prompt to generate a presentation.
Ground it in your content: Add as many reference files directly from Drive as you need to provide context.
Stay on-brand: Attach an existing deck to use as a style reference to ensure your presentation matches your desired look and feel.
Refine the plan for your presentation: Answer any follow-up questions to refine the presentation’s tone, style, content, or audience. You will also have the chance to edit or approve the presentation outline before the actual slides are created.

Note: At launch, this feature will be supported in English only.
