Google's AI assistant Gemini has received a major upgrade, allowing users to generate entire slideshows with just a simple prompt. The new feature in Google's Canvas platform lets people create professional-looking presentations by uploading source material or providing a topic, and Gemini will handle the rest - designing the slides, adding images, and formatting the content. This AI-powered presentation tool is rolling out to both personal and Workspace accounts, making it accessible to a wide range of users.

Why it matters

This new Gemini feature has the potential to revolutionize how people create presentations, saving time and effort. It could be especially useful for students, professionals, and anyone who needs to put together slideshows regularly. However, some have raised concerns about the ethics of AI-generated content and whether it could lead to a loss of creative control or authenticity.

The details

With the Gemini presentation feature, users can either provide a general topic or upload specific source files like documents, research papers, or spreadsheets. Gemini will then generate a complete slideshow, complete with a pre-designed theme, images, and text. The generated decks can then be exported directly to Google Slides, where users can further customize and collaborate. This builds on Gemini's existing capabilities in Google's Canvas, which already allows users to share writing or code for editing and visual previewing.
