- Describe the session. Enter the unit title and the presentation topic. Then add what you can: learning outcomes, level, discipline, delivery mode, session length, cohort size and anything the audience needs (for example, “many students on placement” or “mixed prior knowledge”). If you leave the learning outcomes blank, suitable ones are written for you.
- Add your source material (optional but recommended). Paste lecture notes or key points, or upload a PDF such as a reading, guideline or chapter. The PDF is checked, read securely by the AI and then deleted, and reading it costs a few credits per 10 pages. Slides built from your own material are more accurate and closer to how you teach.
- Choose the size, theme and pictures. Pick 10, 20 or 30 slides; each price is shown. When you enter a session length, a size is suggested: roughly 10 slides for up to 30 minutes, 20 for up to an hour, 30 for longer. Activities fill any extra time. Choose a theme; “Plain” is black text on white, and “High contrast” suits large rooms. Leave “Add pictures from Wikimedia Commons” ticked to include openly licensed diagrams and photos on a few slides, at no extra cost.
- Generate. The deck is planned first; this is when you’re charged. The slides are then written a few at a time, then the pictures are found, with progress shown as it goes. A 20-slide deck usually takes a few minutes. If anything stops part-way, open the deck and choose “Continue generating” to finish it free.
- Review the preview. Every slide appears in the browser exactly as it will download, with its speaker notes underneath (“Show all speaker notes” opens them all). The notes give talking points, questions to ask the group, how to run each activity, and the minutes for each slide with a running total. Pictures are credited on the slide. Where no suitable picture was found, a labelled space suggests what to search for.
- Switch theme if you like, then download. Changing theme is free and updates both the preview and the download. Click “Download PowerPoint (.pptx)”. To use Google Slides, upload the file to Google Drive and open it with Google Slides. Every title, text box and note is editable, and slides you add will match the theme.
- Spin off related material. From a finished deck you can generate a Lesson Plan for teaching it, case studies that apply it, or 10 MCQs that check its learning outcomes. Each one is priced on its own button and pre-filled from the deck. Every presentation is also saved to “Everything You’ve Generated” on your User Hub.
Every action’s credit cost is shown on its own button before you commit to it. Nothing is charged silently.
