Create and collaborate on slides in ChatGPT

ChatGPT Slides lets you create presentations and keep working on them with your team in Space. Start from a conversation, files, or an outline, or share an example deck to guide the style and layout.

  • Create and refine. Edit text, images, shapes, and charts directly, or ask ChatGPT to make changes. Generate custom images or add your own.

  • Work together. Invite teammates to edit the same deck in real time and leave shared comments.

  • Present or export. Present directly from ChatGPT. On the web, export to PowerPoint, PDF, or Google Slides. In the desktop app, open your deck in PowerPoint or Keynote when those apps are installed.

Slides is rolling out to eligible Pro, Business, and Enterprise users with Space access on the web and in the desktop app.
