What is AI for Google Slides?

Plus AI is an extension for Google Slides that uses artificial intelligence to speed up presentation creation. Instead of building slides from scratch, you can describe what you want and the tool generates layouts, text, and visual suggestions. It integrates directly into Google Slides so you work within the familiar interface rather than switching between applications. The tool is designed for anyone who needs to create presentations quickly, whether you're preparing for a business meeting, client pitch, or classroom presentation. It handles the initial heavy lifting of structuring content and formatting, leaving you to refine and customise the output to match your needs.
