While Google Slides is used for creating presentations, the integration of Gemini AI in the app takes the experience to another level.
Gemini AI helps to generate text based on user prompts, in the side panels of its applications including Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive and helps them to summarise, analyse, and generate content without switching tabs.
Whether you are a student preparing your university project or a professional making a presentation for a team meeting, Gemini is a tool to get the job done in a more enhanced way.

Suppose you’re working on an event planning presentation. Ask Gemini to brainstorm a list of ideas to manage a successful event.
Gemini creates several headings such as planning and organisation, guest list, Menu planning, and vendor management.

You can also ask Gemini AI to summarise specific slides in Google Slides. For that, highlight specific slides from the left sidebar and ask Gemini to summarise them. It will generate brief overviews, saving you time and effort.

Another time-saving Gemini feature in Google Slides is its ability to generate key points from a presentation. Instead of summarising slides, ask Gemini to generate key points from a presentation.
