Create a presentation on agentic AI in retail
The author had Manus Slides research and build a deck, added a slide mid-run, and fixed some overlapping text after export.
Done withManus
- What they did
- The author logged into Manus with a Google account, chose agent mode and Slides, and gave a very simple prompt asking for a deck on agentic AI in retail. Manus researched, found images and built the structure. While watching the slides appear, the author interrupted to ask for an extra slide with examples of retailers using agentic AI.
- How it went
- The deck came out logically structured, with sources cited and good images and charts. Exporting to PPTX or Google Slides left some overlapping text, which needed small manual fixes. Templates and design are limited.
- Worth knowing
- Expect to tidy overlapping text after exporting to PPTX or Google Slides, and expect limited templates and design options.
