Overview
- Within Canvas, Gemini can build full presentations from a text prompt or by ingesting files such as documents, spreadsheets, or research papers.
- Generated decks arrive with a theme and relevant images and can be exported to Google Slides for editing and collaboration.
- Users can also download results as PDFs, share a public Canvas link, and convert to PowerPoint via Google Slides.
- The feature is rolling out now to Gemini Advanced (Google One AI Premium) and Workspace accounts, with reports indicating free users will get access in the coming weeks.
- Early hands-on tests found the tool saves time yet sometimes misapplies formatting or instructions, often requiring final refinement in Slides or PowerPoint.
