Manus Magic

I’ve spent years testing every AI slide-generator under the sun - PowerPoint’s Co-Pilot, Beautiful.ai, Tome, you name it - and, frankly, they’ve all fallen flat.

So when Manus AI rolled out Manus Slides, I braced myself for another disappointment. Imagine my surprise to find out that it's actually really good.

This week, I've had to crank out a deck for a Federation of Independent Agents presentation scheduled for July 4th (sorry Graham). Normally, I’d spend hours cobbling together bullet points, sourcing images, tweaking layouts. Instead, I fired up Manus Slides, typed a simple prompt, hit 'go', and watched it work.

Here’s what surprised me: the slides weren’t a generic PDF dump or a half-baked Google Slides file. Manus actually designed stylish, coherent visuals - layouts I wouldn’t have thought to try - complete with relevant images, nicely balanced text, and a unified theme. And when I wanted minor tweaks - reordering points, swapping out one image - it handled those iterations flawlessly, all through equally minimal prompts.

Within minutes, I had a polished deck I'm going to feel confident presenting. Honestly, it's finally worth looking at AI presentations. And if you're at the FIA Conference, you'll get to see what turned up!
