AI Tools by Use Case

Which AI tool turns a client report (PDF or Word) into an editable PowerPoint or Google Slides deck?

For: Consultants, freelancers and analysts who turn written reports into client decks · Published 2026-10-24 · Updated 2026-10-24

Short answer

If your client wants a real PowerPoint or Google Slides file, use Plus AI: it runs inside both apps and its Pro plan ($20/user/month billed annually) accepts PDF, Word and text uploads. Pick Beautiful.ai for tidy auto-aligned layouts with PowerPoint import and export (Pro $14.50/month billed annually, 14-day trial). Pitch is the only one of the three with a forever-free plan, but its 100 AI credits don't renew and PowerPoint export starts on Plus (€10/month billed yearly).

How to do it with AI

  1. Remove confidential client data you are not allowed to upload, or check the tool's data policy first.
  2. Cut the report to the parts the audience needs: the question, findings, recommendation and next steps.
  3. Upload the trimmed file (or paste the text) and ask for a fixed number of slides, for example 10.
  4. Check every number, chart and quote on the slides against the source report; AI can drop or merge figures.
  5. Apply your or your client's brand theme, then export to PowerPoint or keep it in Google Slides.
  6. Add speaker notes yourself for the slides you will present live.

Prompt for turning a report into a 10-slide client deck (our suggested wording, not a test output)

Turn the attached report into a 10-slide deck for [audience]. Slide 1: title. Slide 2: the one-sentence answer. Slides 3-7: one finding per slide with the exact figures from the report. Slide 8: recommendation. Slide 9: risks. Slide 10: next steps with owners and dates. Use only numbers that appear in the report, and do not invent data.
