# Generate a presentation
Create a new presentation from scratch.
## Generate a presentation in 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
#### Additional Tips
For more control over your presentation, you can also open the "New Presentation" window and start a new presentation from a prompt, outline, or in slide-by-slide mode.
## Generate a presentation in Google Slides
[Launch Plus AI in Google Slides](/plus-ai/install-in-google-slides.md#launch-in-slides). Go to Extensions > Plus AI > New Presentation
To create a new presentation in Google Slides, select from the following options:
1. **Images vs. Slides**: Images mode will generate more creative, visually distinctive slides. Slides mode will generate 'native,' editable slides.
2. **Prompt:** Choose one of the presets or write your own prompt
3. **Template**: Select a template for your presentation
4. **Files**: Select files to upload as reference materials for your presentation
Once you are ready, click the blue send button to start generating your presentation. The first step of this process will be reviewing your presentation outline. Then, once you approve the outline, Plus AI will generate your full slide deck.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://guide.plusai.com/ai-for-presentations/generate-a-presentation.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
