ChatGPT can generate images for presentations or incorporate visuals supplied by users. Once a deck has been created, the slides remain editable, allowing users to change text, replace images, adjust shapes and modify charts without generating the entire presentation again.
Collaboration is another central feature. Multiple team members can work on the same presentation simultaneously, make edits and leave comments. Users can then ask ChatGPT or their OpenAI dot agent to incorporate feedback, including revising slide layouts and updating charts.
Completed presentations can be delivered directly through ChatGPT or exported to Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides or PDF. Exported slides retain editable content, allowing users to continue making changes in other presentation applications.
OpenAI is positioning ChatGPT Slides for a range of business and creative tasks, including product pitches, quarterly reviews, marketing presentations and annual reports. The tool is designed to handle both the initial creation of slides and subsequent revisions within the same collaborative workspace.
However, access is limited to OpenAI's higher-tier subscriptions. ChatGPT Slides is available to Pro, Business and Enterprise users through the web and desktop applications, while ChatGPT Plus subscribers paying $20 per month are excluded from the initial release. The company has not announced when or whether the feature will become available to Plus users.
The launch also comes alongside improvements to OpenAI's AI models for software development. According to the company, the updated models demonstrate stronger capabilities in understanding and modernizing legacy programming languages, including COBOL, Fortran and Visual Basic, which remain in use across financial institutions, government organizations and large enterprises.
With ChatGPT Slides, OpenAI is extending ChatGPT beyond generating presentation content into creating and editing the presentations themselves. The addition of shared editing, AI-assisted revisions and compatibility with existing presentation software gives teams a way to manage more of the presentation process without moving between separate tools.
