Do you find that you spend too much time formatting your presentation than developing an actual strategy? Finding the perfect template, making the data interesting, and the last-minute stress of keeping every slide on-brand—these are all big time-sucks every marketer feels.
But imagine if there was a better way? If you spent 90% of your time crafting the perfect message and only 10% on design? That’s the promise of AI presentation makers. They’re not just another tool, they’re changing the way marketers work. This post is a simple guide that will show you how you can use AI to solve your most frustrating presentation problems—with real examples and unique insights.
The Ideation and First Draft
Every great presentation starts with an idea, but often that idea is lost on seeing a “blank slide”. AI tools remove this mental block. With just a simple text prompt, they instantly generate a cohesive, structured first draft.
The Problem: Fear of the blank slide. Most marketers find it difficult to start a deck, especially when deadlines are tight.
The AI Fix: Tools like Tome or Beautiful.ai can create a complete draft deck with just a single prompt.
Example Prompts Marketers Can Use:
“Generate a 10-slide pitch deck for a new social media campaign targeting Gen Z, focusing on TikTok and Instagram Reels.”
“Create an internal report summary from this campaign data, highlighting KPIs and ROI.”
“Create an internal report summary from the following text data, highlighting key metrics and outcomes.”
“Outline a competitor analysis presentation comparing [Competitor A] and [Competitor B] on their content marketing, SEO, and social media strategies.”
In just seconds, AI converts your text into structured slides—saving hours of ideation.
The Data Storytelling Challenge
Marketers always have a lot of data, but raw numbers never make an interesting story. This is where the real magic of AI is. It turns messy spreadsheets and analytics reports into visually stunning and easy-to-digest charts and graphs.
Problem: Campaign reports and analytics are always messy. Presenting them in the form of a story is not as easy as it seems.
AI Fix: Tools like Beautiful.ai or Canva’s AI chart features convert raw tables into sleek visuals.
Mini Case Study:
Before: A boring raw table of CTR, impressions and conversions.
After: AI-generated bar charts and heatmaps that highlight top-performing channels, automatically designed with your brand colors.
Result? The numbers that previously confused clients now convince them.
The Brand Consistency Headache
For large marketing teams, keeping every presentation on-brand is a nightmare. The “brand kit” features of AI presentation makers easily solve this problem—they lock in your company’s colors, fonts, and logos.
Problem: Every marketer knows the pain of mismatched fonts, off-brand colors, or outdated templates.
AI Fix: With the Brand Kit features of tools like Pitch.com and Canva Teams, you can set the fonts, colors, and logos once—and AI automatically applies them to every slide.
Marketer’s Brand Control Checklist:
- Can I lock in specific fonts and color palettes?
- Does it integrate with my DAM (digital asset management) system?
- Does it support real-time collaboration?
- Can I set “guardrails” so junior team members don’t accidentally go off-brand?
This transforms deck-building from chaos into consistency.
Beautiful.ai vs. Tome for Client Pitches
If we do a head-to-head comparison of two popular tools, for creating client pitches, instead of a generic review, the scene looks something like this:
Beautiful.ai
Best for: Speed and design automation. Perfect for agencies that want fast and visually branded presentations. The layout of intelligent slides automatically adjusts—no matter how hard you try, it’s hard to make an ugly slide.
Tome
Best for: Storytelling and rich media. Ideal for marketers who want narrative-driven presentations. Its unique style lets you create fluid, non-linear presentations—best for interactive pitches and internal reports.
| Feature / Criteria | Beautiful.ai | Tome |
|---|---|---|
| Best For | Speed & automated design — agencies and fast, branded presentations | Storytelling & narrative-driven decks — interactive pitches and internal reports |
| Strengths | Intelligent slide layouts that automatically adjust; hard to make an ugly slide | Fluid, non-linear presentations and deep rich-media support for storytelling |
| Brand Kit Support | Yes — fonts, colors, logos and brand locking available | Basic brand features; less comprehensive than Beautiful.ai for strict brand guardrails |
| Use Case Fit | Agencies, quick client pitches, on-brand decks | Internal reports, interactive client demos, narrative-led pitches |
| Pros | Clean design, smart layouts, strong brand control | Super fast drafts from text, great storytelling flow, rich media integration |
| Cons | Creative freedom slightly limited — designers may feel constrained | Output can feel generic at times; requires human editing for nuance |
Unexpected Use Cases for Marketers
The real value of these tools is their versatility (ability to be multi-used).
Repurposing Content: Using an AI tool, you can instantly turn a long blog post or whitepaper into a professional slide deck—for a webinar or a series of social media graphics.
Internal Communications: For the leadership team, you can turn boring reports into engaging and visual. Instead of a simple email, AI turns them into a compelling narrative that highlights your team’s wins.
Social Media Assets: Easily export slides to create snackable Instagram posts or LinkedIn carousels.
Honest Marketer’s POV (Pros & Cons)
Beautiful.ai
Pros: Smart layouts, clean design, brand kits.
Cons: Creative freedom is a little limited—designers may feel their creativity is being restricted.
Tome
Pros: Super fast drafts, easy to create presentations from text.
Cons: Output can sometimes seem too generic, so editing is important for nuance.
Future of AI in Marketing Presentations
In the next 1–2 years, AI will become not just an “assistant” but a “strategist”.
Think of tools that:
- Create competitive insights by analyzing the client’s industry.
- Predict which visuals will appeal to a specific audience. Each deck will be automatically optimized for different uses (Investor pitch, Webinar or LinkedIn post).
This means the marketer’s role will change from creator to curator of AI output.
AI presentation makers aren’t just a trend – they’re the future of marketing communications. They automate the boring and time-consuming design work, so you can keep your focus on what you do best: creating powerful stories that engage audiences and drive results.
