4 Useful Ways to Use Gemini AI in Google Slides
Creating slides can be stressful - there's no doubt about it. Presentation slides are important, but wouldn't it be great if the process was a little easier? With Gemini AI in Google Slides, that's possible! Check out these awesome ways you can use Gemini AI to make your job easier!
Note : Access to Gemini AI is limited to Google Slides desktop users who are members of Google Workspace Labs. To join, you can follow the same steps as enabling Gemini AI in Google Sheets.
1. Custom AI Image and Illustration Design
One of the hardest parts of designing slides is finding or creating the perfect images and illustrations that convey exactly the image you envision. Typically, you will have to search for stock images and most likely learn how to edit them yourself using any photo editing tool.
With Gemini AI in Google Slides, however, all you need is a clear description of what you're looking for - it's that simple. There are two easy ways to use the feature. The first method is simple: Click the Ask Gemini icon next to your profile picture to open the Gemini bar.
From there, simply enter your prompt and Gemini will generate relevant images or illustrations for you.
2. Create simple slides based on the topic description
Gemini only creates one slide per prompt, so you'll likely need to repeat the process to build your entire presentation. This means you'll need to approach each prompt with a specific slide in mind.
Create the first slide manually, for subsequent slides you can let Gemini do the hard work.
Once you insert a slide, you can edit the title, adjust the bullet points, or swap out the images. But most of the time, Gemini's simple layout is just what you need.
3. Create summary slides or notes for presenters
Now that your presentation is polished and ready, you may realize it's a little long or you want to make sure your audience gets all of your key points. Adding a summary slide at the end is a smart way to wrap things up, and Gemini AI in Google Slides makes this easy to add.
Once you launch the Gemini bar, you'll see a summary of your presentation. Right below that, there's an option to Add a summary slide .
With just one click, Gemini will create a slide that highlights your main points. You can then insert, edit, and move that slide to the end of your presentation. Remember, like all slides created by Gemini, this slide will have a two-column layout.
4. Brainstorm ideas to make your slides stand out
Sometimes the hardest part of creating a presentation is figuring out how to make it super engaging. With Gemini AI, you can easily brainstorm ideas for slide layouts, color schemes, and even the structure of your bullet points and content.
But it's not just about aesthetics - Gemini AI can also help you outline your presentation or suggest key points based on your topic. Just launch the Gemini bar and ask for suggestions - whichever you prefer. You can even ask questions about your presentation and research right in Google Slides with Gemini's help.
Just keep in mind that the AI is still subject to hallucinations, so while some ideas are correct, others may not be. The trick to getting the most out of Gemini AI in Google Slides is how you write your prompts. Experiment with different wording and tweak the prompts as you go!
