Google Rolls Out Gemini Canvas Tool That Auto-Generates Slide Decks

The AI turns prompts or uploaded files into exportable presentations, with access reaching paid tiers first and wider availability expected soon.

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.
