How to do it with AI
- Remove confidential client data you are not allowed to upload, or check the tool's data policy first.
- Cut the report to the parts the audience needs: the question, findings, recommendation and next steps.
- Upload the trimmed file (or paste the text) and ask for a fixed number of slides, for example 10.
- Check every number, chart and quote on the slides against the source report; AI can drop or merge figures.
- Apply your or your client's brand theme, then export to PowerPoint or keep it in Google Slides.
- Add speaker notes yourself for the slides you will present live.
Prompt for turning a report into a 10-slide client deck (our suggested wording, not a test output)
Turn the attached report into a 10-slide deck for [audience]. Slide 1: title. Slide 2: the one-sentence answer. Slides 3-7: one finding per slide with the exact figures from the report. Slide 8: recommendation. Slide 9: risks. Slide 10: next steps with owners and dates. Use only numbers that appear in the report, and do not invent data.

Not tested hands-on: all three tools need an account sign-up (Plus AI also needs a Google or Microsoft sign-in) before generating a deck, so this page uses only what the official pages state.
