Plus AI vs ChatGPT
If you are still asking ChatGPT to create PowerPoint presentations for you, stop doing it. Here's a better way to do it with Plus AI.
I was at a coffee shop this afternoon when I saw a group of students doing some school activities. One of them was using ChatGPT to create presentation slides. The thing is, ChatGPT cannot really spit out a complete PPT file in one shot in the way many people expect. In many cases, it gives you content, structure, and instructions on how to build each slide manually through Google Slides or Microsoft PowerPoint.
I am pretty sure a lot of users do this too. They use ChatGPT to brainstorm the title, generate the outline, write the slide content, and sometimes even suggest images or speaking points. That’s great especially for students, freelancers, marketers, and professionals who need to put together a deck quickly. But after the content is generated, the actual work of turning that into a clean, editable, and visually strong presentation often still falls on the user.
Well, let me tell you that there is a better way to do it.
An AI-powered tool called Plus AI can generate a complete presentation from various inputs like a text prompt, a document file, or even a URL. It has hundreds of pre-built designs, so you are not stuck with default templates, and it also has a powerful remix feature that gives you more control over how the content and design should look.
A general AI assistant can be good at generating text, but a specialized presentation tool is designed around the actual workflow of building slides.
Let me tell you more about this product.
It’s an add-on, not an external tool
The main reason why I personally suggest using Plus AI over other tools like ChatGPT, Kimi Slides, or GenSpark is that it is an add-on to existing platforms like Google Slides and Microsoft PowerPoint.
That means the tool is integrated into a platform that you are already familiar with.
No need to switch between tabs.
No need to learn a new tool.
No need to export a file from one website and continue working on another.
That kind of integration is a big deal because most people already know how to use Google Slides or PowerPoint. They already know how to move elements around, change themes, resize images, add animations, and collaborate with others. So instead of spending time adjusting to a new platform, they can stay inside the software they already use and simply enhance it with AI features.
To install, head over to the Google Workspace Marketplace or Microsoft Marketplace and install the Plus AI add-on.
Once installed, a Plus AI menu will appear on the right side of the screen.
What I really love about this product is that you can use it free for a week with zero upfront cost. Not a lot of competitors do this.
You can start from scratch, refine an existing deck, or upload a document for Plus AI to handle both the writing and design.
The modal screen shows a lot of controls. You can adjust the number of slides, the tone of writing, and even the language to use.
A deck that looks simple but communicates well is better than one that looks impressive but feels confusing.
Creating slides with ChatGPT
The whole experience of generating presentation files with ChatGPT is very different from using Plus AI.
For example, if I want to create a pitch deck for my Blogg.fast website, I would ask it like this:
Prompt: Create a 10-slide powerpoint that serves as a pitch deck for my new product blogg.fast
It took the AI almost five minutes to create this incredibly boring presentation. Not much context, terrible design.
To modify the slides properly, I would still have to move everything into Google Slides or Microsoft PowerPoint and manually edit it to my liking. I would need to adjust layouts, shorten sections that are too wordy, improve headlines, replace weak phrasing, insert charts or visuals, and make sure the whole presentation looks cohesive.
This is wayyy too much work compared to generating it with Plus AI.
That is really the biggest difference for me. ChatGPT is very helpful for thinking and writing, but not always the most efficient tool for turning that output into a ready-to-use slide deck.
So… which one to use?
It depends on two things: your workflow and what you value more.
If you value time and control over your presentation, pick Plus AI. It is designed to work seamlessly with PowerPoint and Google Slides, so it saves you time in creating slides. It also has more creative options that you can tweak to make something that matches your taste. More importantly, it reduces the amount of manual rebuilding that usually comes after using a general AI tool.
If you are already a ChatGPT subscriber and do not want to pay extra, then use ChatGPT. It can analyze uploaded files and also search the web, so you do not have to worry too much about context during the writing stage. It is also great for outlining ideas, rewriting text, and helping you think through what each slide should contain. Just be ready to do a lot of manual retouching and to move your content into other tools for final editing and design work.
In other words, the choice is not really about which tool is universally better. It is more about which one is better for the way you work.
Final Thoughts
Overall, this comparison comes down to how each tool fits into the presentation-making process. ChatGPT is useful for generating ideas, creating outlines, drafting slide content, and helping users think through the message they want to present. Plus AI, on the other hand, is more focused on actually turning that content into a finished presentation inside Google Slides or Microsoft PowerPoint.
Both tools can help, but they help at different stages and in different ways. One is broader and more flexible, while the other is more specialized and presentation-focused.
Personally, I think both tools have clear pros and cons.
ChatGPT is powerful, flexible, and already familiar to many users. It can help a lot with writing, summarizing, researching, and structuring ideas.
Plus AI is not as broad in its capabilities, but that is also why it performs well in this specific use case. It is built around the slide workflow, integrates directly into platforms people already use, and gives more control over design and formatting from the start.
If you are a student or a professional reading this, now is a good time to try the various AI tools available for making presentations. Create the same deck with both, compare the output and the effort required, and see which one fits your style better.
