From a topic
Enter a topic and duration, add required points and choose a level. You see an evidence and outline preview before any payment decision, built from your brief rather than generic stock slides.
Start a presentationHow it works
One presentation, connected.
From the first brief to the files you hand over, your slides, script, sources and practice questions stay linked. Each step shows its work, and you approve what matters before anything expensive or irreversible happens.
The eight steps
Step 1: Brief
Topic, audience, time slot and must-include points. Advanced settings stay out of the way until you need them.
- Start with a topic and a duration; add must-include points and a level when you're ready.
- Upload an assignment and rubric, and SlideDeck proposes how to cover it.
Step 2: Inspect evidence
See which sources were read, the exact passages behind each claim, and where evidence is missing.
- Add your files, links or notes; optionally enable public web research.
- See the exact excerpts used, what couldn't be accessed, and where evidence is missing.
Step 3: Approve the argument
Review the outline, section timings and coverage of your required points before any slide is built.
- An outline with sections, timings and proposed slide count.
- Omitted requirements and time overruns are shown, never silently dropped.
Step 4: Editable slides + timed script
Native, editable slides and a spoken script with cues that stay in sync with every slide.
- Native text, shapes and charts you can edit directly.
- A spoken script with cues tied to slide IDs; changing a number flags the script lines and questions that depend on it.
Step 5: Rehearse
Practise aloud against the current version of your deck, with interruptions only as often as you allow.
- Microphone check, then choose a mode and how often you can be interrupted.
- Captions and a discreet timer. Pause stops the microphone and the clock.
Step 6: Answer source-grounded questions
Questions come from your claims and sources: clarification, evidence quality, limitations, counterarguments.
- Questions come with expected answer elements and source links, not a script to parrot.
- If the sources can't settle a question, the coach says so and offers a verification task.
Step 7: Repair
Get three concrete next actions. Proposed fixes are previewed as scoped changes, and nothing is applied without your approval.
- Three concrete next actions first; detail behind an expandable view.
- Fixes arrive as scoped, previewed changes with undo. Locked slides stay locked.
Step 8: Export
PowerPoint, PDF, a DOCX script and Markdown, each with a compatibility report.
- PPTX, PDF, DOCX script and Markdown, each with a compatibility report.
- Exports carry a version ID and the date sources were checked.
Three common starting points
From a deck you already have
Import a PPTX or PDF. Your original stays untouched; we report what couldn’t be extracted and let you rehearse against the original pages or an editable reconstruction. Image-only PDFs get a visual rehearsal, without pretending to be editable.
Practise an existing deckWhen the brief changes
Change “15 minutes for specialists” to “7 minutes for a general audience”. SlideDeck proposes what to cut or move to an appendix, simplifies wording without changing facts, and updates cues and questions. Nothing is silently dropped from your must-include list.
How claims are labelled
Every substantive factual claim is linked to inspected evidence or visibly labelled. Click any claim to open the exact passage, page, rows or captured web text.
- Supported
Inspected evidence supports the bounded claim.
Source link and verification time. Never an “infallible” badge.
- Partially supported
Evidence supports only part, or a weaker wording.
Suggested precise wording for you to review.
- Conflicting
Credible sources disagree in a material way.
Explains the disagreement, with dates and definitions.
- Unsupported
No inspected evidence supports it.
Remove it, research it, or mark it unverified.
- Stale / recheck
Evidence may no longer be current for this use.
Recheck before a new delivery or export.
- User assertion
Supplied by you, not independently verified.
Clearly labelled, with its provenance.
- Calculated
Derived from identified inputs and a reproducible formula.
Shows inputs, units, formula, rounding and output.
- Illustrative / opinion
Not offered as an empirical fact.
Labelled where it could mislead. No fake citation.
Practice modes
Difficulty, question frequency and tone are separate controls. Zero interruptions means zero.
- Run-through
- No interruptions; questions after you finish
- Timing and a first, low-pressure practice
- Supportive audience
- Occasional clarification at natural pauses between points
- Learning an unfamiliar topic
- Seminar / stakeholder
- Questions on assumptions, evidence and implications
- University or professional preparation
- Defense / challenge
- More demanding follow-up, respectfully worded
- Thesis, proposal or decision defense
- Focus drill
- Only the slides, concepts or answer types you pick
- Repairing an identified weakness
What SlideDeck deliberately doesn't do
Knowing a tool's limits is part of trusting it. SlideDeck helps you prepare; it doesn't replace your subject knowledge.
- No official grades or predicted marks. Practice feedback is practice feedback.
- No emotion, nervousness or personality inference, and no accent penalties.
- No “human-written” certificates and no AI-detector evasion.
- No covert live-answer help during restricted exams.
- No voice cloning or video avatars.
- No public decks or marketplace. Everything is private unless you share a version.
- No unlimited research or compute. Optional heavy work is quoted first.
Questions, answered plainly
Something else? Write to support.
Is SlideDeck just another prompt-to-slides generator?
No. The slides are one part of a connected presentation: each important claim links to the evidence behind it, the script's cues follow the slides, and practice questions come from your actual claims and sources. Change a number and the dependent slide text, script and questions are flagged.
Can I use it with a deck I already made?
Yes. Import a PPTX or PDF and your original stays untouched. We report what couldn't be extracted, audit the claims, add notes if you ask, and prepare questions for rehearsal. A paid imported-deck rehearsal doesn't use up a new-presentation allowance.
Does SlideDeck guarantee my facts are right?
No tool can promise that, and we don't. We show you exactly which evidence supports each claim and label anything unsupported, partial, conflicting, stale, calculated, user-supplied or illustrative, so you can decide. Essential verification is included in every plan.
Will the practice coach interrupt me?
Only as much as you choose. Pick no interruptions, questions at the end only, or a maximum rate. Zero means zero. A “let me finish” control holds a pending question, and pausing stops both the microphone and the rehearsal clock.
Do you score my emotions, accent or personality?
No. Feedback is about your content, structure, timing and answers, with the evidence behind each observation. We don't infer emotions, nervousness or personality, and we don't penalise accents, stutters or communication styles.
Are my recordings saved?
Not by default. Live audio is streamed for transcription and not stored as a recording. You can opt in to save a recording; it's kept for 7 days by default and you can delete it at any time.
Will SlideDeck certify my work as human-written?
No. We help you write clearly and in your own voice, but we don't issue authorship certificates or help hide AI use. If your institution requires disclosure, you can export an AI-assistance and source-process statement.
What happens if I cancel?
Cancel from your account page, no survey. Paid access continues to the end of the period, exported files remain yours, and your projects stay available to read and export for 12 months (up to 500 MB) after your paid access ends.
