Creating Slide Presentations
The slide generator supports presentation generation from idea, to creating and refining your narrative, to outline generation and editing, slide-by-slide topic specification, theme and layout selections, and editing and adding new slides after slide generation.
Unlike general AI platforms you do not generate presentations on MACg just by writing a prompt to generate a slide presentation.
MACg has a specific presentation generation workflow designed to support narrative generation and refinement, outline generation steps, selction of themes and layouts in the slide builder, and a slide editor for refinement and creation of new slides after the initial output. This approach gives users better
control over the quality of the the final presentation while still using AI agents for the heavy lift.
The slide generation workflow starts with selecting New Slide Presentation from the dashboard or select Create New Slide at the end of any chat response.
