## PowerPoint

[Launch Plus AI in PowerPoint](https://guide.plusai.com/ai-for-presentations/pages/29tTj2vpZtekgs7LsVBN#id-2.-launch-plus-ai)

Tell the agent directly to create a new presentation. Describe the structure and content of your presentation in as much or as little detail as you would like.

#### Options

* Use a preset prompt to get started quickly
* Attach up to 10 reference file(s). Requires Pro plan or above
* Choose a pre-made template to control the look and feel of your presentation, or set up [custom branding](/ai-for-presentations/custom-branding.md)
* Specify the language of your presentation, if it differs from your prompt or file(s)
* Choose between AI generated and web search images. AI images are higher quality, but less accurate
* Turn off web search for faster results, especially if you are already providing reference content&#x20;

## Google Slides

There are three ways to generate a new presentation. (Click through to learn more about each.) \
If you start from a template, you can still use any mode you like.

1. [**Use a prompt**](/ai-for-presentations/generate-a-presentation/use-a-prompt.md)\
   You provide a short prompt, like "Create a presentation explaining quantum entanglement to 5th graders." This is the easiest way to get started.&#x20;
2. [**Upload a file**](/ai-for-presentations/generate-a-presentation/upload-a-file.md) **(⭐ Most popular option)**\
   You can upload a PDF, Word Document, text file (or paste in unformatted text) and convert it into well-formatted slides.
3. [**Slide by slide**](/ai-for-presentations/generate-a-presentation/slide-by-slide.md)\
   You can build your presentation one slide at a time and specify the content on each slide. This is the most time consuming, but offers the most control.
