Generate slide decks from titles and a branded template
A reviewer had Manus find content for slide decks and produce a monthly marketing report in an uploaded PPTX template; editing tools were limited.
Done withManus
- What they did
- The reviewer gave Manus only a title for each slide, or uploaded a document, and picked a slide count. Manus researched the topic, built an outline without asking for approval, and wrote the deck. She also uploaded a PPTX monthly marketing report template and asked for a March presentation. She could then edit by chat, by element, or by hand.
- How it went
- Content was strong and the template's layouts, colors and fonts carried through. Each deck took about five minutes before editing. There were no citations and no review step for the outline, and Manus has no PowerPoint or Google Slides integration.
- Worth knowing
- A 10-slide deck used roughly 200 credits by the reviewer's estimate, and Manus gives no official figure. Plans start at $34/month for 8,000 credits.
Try it yourself with Manus
I will give you a list of slide titles and an uploaded PowerPoint template. Find the content for each slide and build the deck in my template, keeping its fonts, colors, and layouts. Finish with a PPTX I can edit, with sources in the speaker notes, and tell me anything that did not fit the template.
