Deck building has a strange time distribution. Twenty minutes of thinking, three hours of slides. And most of those three hours go into wording, layout and second guessing, not into the argument.
AI can compress that, but only if you use it in the right order.
Do the structure first. Before opening PowerPoint, describe the audience, the objective and how long you have. Ask for a slide by slide outline. Argue with it. Change it. Ten minutes here saves you from rebuilding the whole thing at slide fourteen.
Then compress the content. This is where most decks fail, because people paste paragraphs onto slides. Feed in your draft text and ask for three points per slide, each under twelve words. It will hurt. The deck will be better.
Then get the speaker notes. Ask what you should actually say alongside each slide. This is more useful than adding text to the slide, especially if presenting makes you nervous.
What it cannot judge is your room. A leadership review, a client pitch and a Monday team update need different emphasis, and only you know who is sitting there and what they care about.

Build the argument first. Slides are just the delivery.
