If you're tired of converting a long document into slides, here's some relief! Google Gemini has launched a feature that automatically creates an entire presentation from just a single document or a few lines of text. This new feature has been added to the Gemini Canvas tool, aiming to save users time and simplify their work.
What is Gemini Canvas?
Gemini Canvas is an AI-powered creative workspace where users can create, edit, and design slides, charts, and visual content. With the new update, the tool can automatically create a complete presentation from any Google Doc, PDF, or short text prompt. This AI reads your document, extracts key points, and presents them with an attractive layout, slide format, and visual elements like images and icons. This means you won't need to spend hours designing slides.
How Gemini Canvas's Presentation Feature Works
Start with a document or text: Upload any report, meeting notes, or research file, or simply type "Create a 10-slide presentation on climate change impacts."
Gemini will perform smart analysis: The AI reads the content, identifies key headings and points, and divides them into separate slides.
Automatic slide creation: Canvas creates engaging presentations using templates, formatting, and images.
Edit and export: You can edit, rearrange, or modify the text as needed. Finally, you can export them directly to Google Slides and share or collaborate.
Who can use it?
This feature is currently rolling out gradually to Gemini users. It will be available whether you use a personal account or Google Workspace. Some Gemini Advanced users have already received this update, while others will gain access in the coming weeks.
Why is this feature special?
Converting any document into slides has always been a time-consuming and tedious process, especially for students, teachers, and professionals. But now, Gemini's Presentation Builder automates and simplifies the entire process. While this tool isn't perfect and some editing may be required on the final slides, it represents a significant step towards increasing productivity, making work not only faster but also more creative.
