PowerPoint isn't the problem. Your storytelling and structure is

“PowerPoint is outdated.”
“AI tools will fix my deck.”

Most decks fail before their story starts*..* messy notes, no flow, info overload, random images

Fix the structure first:

  • 1 idea per slide
  • group related points
  • highlight key insights
  • maximum word length per slide

Some people improve by learning how TED Talks create their own professional decks. For example, QuickSlides has it already built in.

but how do you clean up your decks properly? and how much time does it actually cost?
