Slides
Slides is a place for creating, presenting and sharing slide decks.

Both Beautiful.ai and Slides are, at their core, the presentation tools of the future, designed to help mere mortals like ourselves avoid the soul-crushing agony of creating slides by hand. They both live in the cloud, which is a bit like the digital equivalent of the sky but more efficient. The user, typically a well-meaning individual with a presentation to give, can enjoy custom templates, drag-and-drop ease, and, most importantly, the ability to collaborate with others who are also equally invested in making sure the slides look ‘just right’—whatever that means. The truth is, creating presentations has never been this easy or this painless.

But then, Beautiful.ai steps onto the stage like a sentient design guru from the future, coming to our rescue in 2018 from a place known as the United States. Its AI-powered design tools—think of them as a personal assistant who knows exactly what you need without you even asking—automatically tweak and adjust the layout so everything fits together with a precision that would make even a robotic vacuum cleaner jealous. It's perfect for people who value style over substance but would prefer not to spend days debating where to place the title text. If you're a fan of making things look polished without lifting a finger (except to click, of course), this might just be the tool for you.

And then there’s Slides, a bit older, born in 2011 and hailing from Switzerland, a country known for cheese, watches and efficient digital products. Slides offers something for the person who doesn’t mind getting their hands dirty with a bit more control over the design. With its seamless integration with Google Workspace, it’s ideal for those who live and breathe in the Google ecosystem. Plus, if you find yourself in a remote location with no Wi-Fi, you can still work on your presentation offline, which, given how the universe works, might come in handy more than once. Its minimalist approach to design is refreshing—simple yet effective, like a good cup of tea, but far more productive.
