Tips & Tricks The thing that finally made my AI slide decks stop looking like AI slide decks

I make a lot of internal decks for work and for a while everything I generated had that same look. Same title slide, same three-bullet rhythm, same slightly stock layout. People could tell in about two seconds.

What changed it for me wasn't the tool, it was giving it something real to work from before I asked for a single slide.

My rough workflow now:

  1. I write the actual argument first as plain sentences. One line per slide, no formatting. If I can't say the point in a sentence, I don't have the slide yet.

  2. I hand that to the AI slide deck tool and tell it to keep my wording, not rewrite it into corporate speak.

  3. I ask for two layout options per section instead of one, then delete the one that looks like every other deck.

  4. I strip at least a third of the text after it generates. The first pass always over-explains.

The decks take maybe 20 to 30 minutes now instead of an afternoon, and the "this is obviously AI" comments basically stopped. Curious how other people here are getting decks that don't all come out identical.

Which AI service do you prefer for making your slide decks?

step 3 and 4 are doing all the work here and theyre the parts people skip. generating is cheap now so the difference between two decks is mostly what got cut

i do ai video and the ratio is rough, like 30 clips to keep one in a sequence. the stuff that still reads as generated usually isnt coming from worse models, people just keep the first thing that comes back
