Skip the blank canvas, generate a complete deck from a single prompt | April Update

From a single prompt to an on-brand deck in minutes

Most of the work in building a deck is the design itself: choosing layouts that fit each piece of content, applying your brand styling, drafting copy, and placing icons. Text-to-Slide handles all of that from a single prompt. Describe what you want, or pass in the specific content, and the deck comes together from your own library while you carry on with other things.

Each step in the flow lets you shape the output. SlideHub starts by checking your library to see if an existing presentation already covers the topic, so reuse is offered ahead of fresh generation. From there, pick where additional content comes from: your library, web search, or both. Choose a style, set how many topics to cover up to five, and review the outline before any slides are built.

Slides build in parallel in the background, so you do not need to wait for the deck to finish. When you come back, what you have is a complete on-brand presentation: an agenda, content slides drawn from your library and icons, and a closing slide.

Drive presentation generation from your own systems with API

The API has been improved to support presentation generation. Users can now generate complete presentations through it. You can learn more about it in the Generate Presentation section at ppt.slidehub.io/api-docs.

Three new settings give users more flexibility in how they generate presentations.

Setting shouldPreserve to true tells the API to keep your input exactly as you send it. Useful when the content has already been written and you do not want the AI rephrasing it.

Setting priorityExisting to true tells the AI to do everything it can to find an existing slide in your library on a given topic before generating a new one. Useful when users want generated decks to draw from existing material.

Setting shareable to true makes the result available to colleagues in your company. You get back a link that anyone signed in to SlideHub at your company can open.

Sharper output from Text-to-Slide, plus more control for managers and users

This release also includes a set of quality improvements across Text-to-Slide. Layout selection and adjustment, title quality, and length and tone consistency across slides have all been refined.

On the manager side, two new controls are available. The first lets managers grant full Text-to-Slide access to all users on an account in a single action, useful for rolling out access to a wider team. The second lets managers disable specific company images or icons. If the AI keeps surfacing team headshots, outdated logos, or assets you would rather keep out of generated decks, you can take them out of the pool.

Users can now also share AI-generated slides with others on the same account, so one person's great content becomes a resource the rest of the team can use.

Get sharper output from Text-to-Slide with a few prompting tips

How you prompt makes a real difference to what Text-to-Slide generates. Here are a few tips for getting more out of generated slides:

  • Write a clear, content-led prompt rather than leaving the AI to guess what should be on the slide.
  • Choose your layout source deliberately, whether that is company slides or SlideHub inspiration.
  • Generate a few alternatives and pick the one that fits.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
