Build Polished AI Presentations With GenSpark Slides (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Today, I'll show you how to create professional presentations using AI. We'll use GenSpark AI slides to turn a simple prompt into a complete presentation with beautiful layouts and images. Then, I'll show you how to customize your slides yourself or with AI and export everything to PowerPoint. And a quick disclosure, GenSpark is sponsoring this video, but as always, I'll show you exactly how it works and the results that I get. I'm Kevin, and let's dive in. To get started, head to the following website. You'll find a link right here at the bottom of the screen. If you don't already have an account, you can sign up for free. Once you're signed in, you'll see several AI tools available. GenSpark can help you research topics, create documents and spreadsheets, generate images, and a lot more. For this tutorial, we'll focus on AI slides, so I'll select that right here. Let's create our first presentation. I'll click into the prompt field and describe what I want. For this example, I'll create a presentation showing how to bake chocolate chip cookies from scratch. I'll ask for six slides covering the ingredients, baking instructions, and a few tips for making the perfect cookies. I'll also ask for plenty of images and minimal text. Feel free to pause if you'd like to read it. Down here, I'll keep standard mode selected. This uses GenSpark's new Gen1 Slides model, which is designed specifically for creating presentations. There's also an Ultra mode, which gives us access to other advanced AI models for more demanding presentations. I'll stick with standard mode for this example. Now, let's submit the prompt and GenSpark will start putting together our slides. And here's our finished presentation. Over on the left-hand side, GenSpark shows us all the different steps it took to put everything together. And over here on the right-hand side, we have our completed slides. Let's take a look at what it created. Here at the very top, we have the title slide with a large chocolate chip cookie image. That looks delicious. Then right over here, we have our ingredients. Here we have the equipment, step-by-step instructions, baking time and temperature. And here at the very end, we have a few tips for making the perfect cookies. I like how it uses different layouts throughout, but at the same time, it keeps the design consistent throughout the presentation. This is a really great starting point, but I want to make a few changes. First, let's use AI to update the cover slide. Right over here, I have the subtitle, Learn to Bake Soft Chewy Cookies from Scratch. Soft in the middle, crackly at the edge. It's okay, but let's actually see if maybe we could simplify it. So over here, I'll highlight it and let's ask it to make it shorter and maybe a little bit more engaging. Then over here, let's click on the check mark. Now, over here, I think I'd prefer to have this image over on the left-hand side. So I'll select the draw tool and over here, I could highlight this image right here and I want to place it right over here. So I'll draw an arrow where I want it. And then right up here, I could also describe the change. So let's say move the image to the left side of the slide. Right over here, I'll click on the check mark. Now, notice here in the bottom left-hand corner that Genspark queues up the edits. So that way I can make several requests and then I can apply them all at once. Now, once I'm happy with all of my instructions right over here, I could send the two edits. Genspark will now work through both requests and update the presentation. And there we go. We have an updated slide. Genspark simplified the subtitle and it also moved the image over to the left-hand side, just like I requested. Next, I want to make a few changes myself. So right up on top, I'll click on edit and this opens up the slide editor. Now, I want to use a different cookie photo on the cover. So over here, I'll select this existing image. Here, I have all these different tools and over here, I could replace the image. I'll click there and let's upload an image. I'll select that and yep, I think I prefer this one. It's a cookie next to a glass of milk. The two go hand in hand, so I think that's essential to show. I'll select that and that updates the photo. We can also edit text. I'll select chocolate chip and here we have all the different text editing and also formatting controls. And you can also move different elements around. For example, I can move this text up. I actually liked it where it was. So over there, I'll move it right back. This gives us precise control over the final results without having to ask AI to make every little change. Let's go back to select and you'll notice here that we also have some other tools up here. Right here, we have something called verify content and this uses AI to help check the information in our slides. Over here, we have fixed layout and this can identify and fix layout issues. And lastly, we also have something called polished content and that'll help improve the text and also the overall presentation. Now, I find that these are useful for cleaning things up before sharing your slides. Now, we can also add new slides to our presentation. I want to include one more slide showing how to store chocolate chip cookies to keep them fresh. So right over here, let's go down to the prompt field and I'm going to enter in the following request. And then right over here, I'll submit that and GenSpark will create the new slide for us. And here's our new slide. GenSpark added it to the very end of the presentation, bringing us to seven total slides. Here, the slide includes tips for storing them at room temperature. We also have freezing the cookies and here we also have reheating instructions. Now, one thing I like is notice how it kept all the same colors. We have the same fonts and the overall design matches what we have in the rest of our presentation. Now, of course, I can continue adding more slides right down here in the bottom left-hand corner or right up on top. I can use AI to make changes or we could also make manual changes like we did before. Now that our presentation is ready, let's look at how we can present it. In the top right-hand corner, let's hover over present and we have a few different options. We can present from the beginning, the current slide, or using a presenter view. For now, let's start from the beginning. And here we have our presentation. Now, I can move through the slides just like a regular slideshow. Once you're all done, you can press the escape key and that'll bring us back to the main editing view. We can also share the presentation directly from GenSpark. In the top right-hand corner, I'll click on share and here we have a few different options. You can type in other people's email addresses and down below you can share a link to the presentation without having to download it first. Let's exit out of this view and you could also just download a copy of your presentation right up here. Let's click on export and here we have a few different options. You could export as a PDF, a PowerPoint, or Google Slides and here you could choose the pages that you'd like to export. Let's export in PowerPoint format and I'll leave it set to all pages. Down below, let's click on export and here we have our presentation in PowerPoint. The overall design has carried over and I can continue editing just directly in PowerPoint. Now, one thing I noticed is that some of the fonts and formatting look a little different from the original, so you may need to make a few adjustments after exporting. Another useful feature is skills. A skill is a reusable set of instructions and design preferences that GenSpark can follow when creating future presentations. So, if you've created a presentation that you really like, you could turn it into a skill and reuse that same design approach without having to start from scratch. Let's create one using our cookie presentation. In the top right hand corner, hover over the three dots and at the bottom of this menu, select save as skill. GenSpark will now analyze our presentation and identify the layout, design choices, and overall structure. Over on the left hand side, GenSpark has a few follow-up questions about my skill. It wants to know what to include in it. Right over here, I'll select the methodology, the visual system, and a bundled starter deck. This way, GenSpark can reuse how I organized all the slides, along with the colors, fonts, and layouts when creating future presentations. I'll check this. Next, GenSpark asks what type of presentations I want to use this skill for. Now, right at the top, I'll select the broad option. And here, I'll select the first option. And down below, I'll click on submit. GenSpark has now created our skill. Right up here, let's click on view in my skills. Let's scroll down the page just a little bit, and here we can find the skill that we just created. This includes the design and the structure from the cookie presentation. The next time I create a presentation, I can use this skill to follow the same design approach, even if I'm working on a completely different topic. Now, here's another interesting thing. Over on the left hand side, if you have an existing PowerPoint or PDF, you can turn that into a skill, and then you can use that as a template as well. Now, let's take a look at plans and usage. You can get started with GenSpark for free, but there are limits on how much you can use it. With a paid plus or pro subscription, you get a weekly free quota for features like AI Slides when using standard mode. Up here, you can see that I'm currently using my free quota, so I'm not consuming any of my monthly credits. I'll click view usage to see how much of my allowance I've used and when it resets. Once I use up my weekly allowance, GenSpark automatically starts using my monthly credits. And if I use ultra mode, that consumes credits directly. One useful option here is ask first, which lets me approve credit usage before GenSpark starts spending my credits. GenSpark says these changes let subscribers create up to 20 times as many slides for the same subscription price. For most people, I'd recommend starting with the free version to see how well it works before deciding whether to upgrade. And that's how to create professional presentations using GenSpark AI Slides. If you'd like to try it yourself, you can get free credits when you sign up using my link in the description below. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next video.
