What's the step you wish could disappear forever?
by•
Building a presentation in 2026 shouldn't look like this:
❌ Search for inspiration
❌ Write content
❌ Design slides
❌ Fix formatting
❌ Fix formatting again
❌ Fix formatting one more time
We're working on changing that. launching in few days stay tuned!

For me, the step that should disappear is repetitive formatting. Not design judgment, but the mechanical work of making every slide consistent after the thinking is already done.
In a good workflow, the human should define the message, audience, and hierarchy. The tool should then handle alignment, spacing, layout consistency, and adapting the same idea into different formats. That is where AI feels most useful: removing the production drag while keeping the person in control of the story.
@rahulbhavsar Couldn't agree more. The thinking should stay with the human, and the repetitive production work should happen in the background.
That's exactly the direction we're pushing toward with tomorrow's launch. Stay tuned
@samirrashed Exactly. That is the right split: keep judgment, taste, and structure with the human, then let the product handle the repetitive production layer. Looking forward to seeing how you translate that into the launch.

@samirrashed Congrats on getting it live. The clearest feedback from my side: lead with the before-and-after workflow as quickly as possible. People should immediately see the painful presentation step you remove, then the finished output. That makes the value much easier to understand than a broad AI presentation claim.

the formatting loop honestly. you fix it, switch slides, come back, it broke again. feels like half the time building a deck is just fighting the tool instead of thinking about the content.
@rnagulapalle Haha, that's a very accurate description 😅

@mohamed_ait_ahmed yeah that loop is the worst 😅
spend 20 mins on content… then hours just fixing how it looks again and again. Hope you tackle that very soon

Formatting, no contest.
It's never one pass. You fix the spacing, the font goes off, you fix that and the alignment breaks, then a text box is hanging off the edge in full screen. I've lost real hours nudging boxes 2 pixels at a time.
Writing the content's fine, that's the thinking part. It's fixing the same deck 4 times that feels like a tax on shipping.
@nipuntaneja Got it! We feel that and we are always collect feedback and ideas to consider it within our product development. Thank you for sharing that

formatting. every single time. i can have the whole story in my head, content done, message clear, and then i spend 45 minutes making sure the bullet spacing on slide 7 matches slide 3. it's not even creative work at that point, just pixel babysitting. that's the part i'd delete in a heartbeat if i could.
@nolan_vu Great! Thank you
For me, it's definitely formatting. I don't mind researching, writing, or even designing slides, but spending 30 minutes nudging text boxes, aligning elements, and fixing spacing feels like the least valuable part of the whole process.
@lera_kuntsevich8 I see! Thanks for sharing this

The step I'd kill: rebuilding context every time. Not the design, not the formatting - the part where 30% of prep time goes toward reconstructing the same narrative from scratch because every deck for a slightly different audience means starting over. You have the data, you have the story, but translating it into slides that land for this specific person on this specific call still takes forever. If I could say "same story, investor lens" and have the structure adapt - that alone would be worth more than any template.
@galdayan Awesome! Thank you for sharing that

@nipuntaneja Cool! Thanks for sharing this
“Designing slides.” When I’m busy, just the thought of having to design slides feels like a chore, or even downright annoying!
@mincheol_kim I see
For me I don't really do much presentation but there's a gap between "writing content" and "designing slides."
Trying to force a strong pitch narrative into a rigid visual template usually ruins the flow. If a tool could seamlessly auto-design around the actual story I'm trying to tell here, that would be a massive game-changer for long run.
@destin2001 Awesome! I agree
