Paciolan shifted from PowerPoint to Beautiful.ai because they were looking for a presentation maker with a sleek, sophisticated feel.
Teresa Turner, Director of Employee Experience at Emerge said her presentations weren’t as riveting and it was harder to get the message across in PowerPoint.
The team at FORM felt PowerPoint presentations were holding them back from becoming a high-performing Marketing & Sales organization, and wanted something with more of that ‘wow factor’.
Teams around the country are switching from PowerPoint slides to Beautiful.ai’s Smart Slides. But before you convince your organization to ditch the legacy presentation tool, you can bring Beautiful.ai into PowerPoint with our add-in.
Beautiful.ai’s PPT add-in is great for organizations that have relied on PowerPoint for years. The add-in introduces our design AI to the familiar interface of PowerPoint. And while we think our interface is easier to use, intuitive, and builds presentations faster–here are some great reasons to start with our PPT add-in if you’re having trouble getting buy-in.
Simplify your workflow
Our PPT Add-In is designed to make your presentation creation process as smooth as possible. The integration with PowerPoint means you can start a new project or enhance an existing one without having to switch platforms.
You’ll have access to our extensive library of customizable Smart Slides, which adapt to your content in real-time, ensuring a polished look with minimal layout and design effort – a huge step up from the manual processes of creating a deck in PPT.
Beautiful.ai will save you time and reduce the frustration often associated with slide design in PowerPoint, making it easier to focus on delivering your message effectively.
Before Beautiful.ai, FORM used over 150 PowerPoint templates that every team member could access. “At first, this seemed like a great solution, but it became difficult to manage after 300 people started editing the templates,” Matt Collins, Vice President of Marketing said. “It was a time-consuming process for our team to make sure every deck was up to our brand standards, and sometimes we had to troubleshoot when certain elements didn’t download correctly, like our custom fonts.”
“If I were to compare having to do the same thing with a PowerPoint deck, it would take me much longer.” Senior Strategic Consultant and power presenter, Graham Tracey

“Before switching to Beautiful.ai, I used Powerpoint and I absolutely dreaded building presentation decks. When time and budget allowed, I worked with designers to make presentations look more beautiful— but nothing replaces thinking about the words and visuals, at the same time.” Latshaw Marketing,Founder, Marissa Latshaw
“When you're doing things with the PowerPoint model, you end up cobbling things together and just sort of continuing to expand a crappy single deck instead of really thinking about how to reuse your objects in a more design-oriented mindset.” ”Senior Strategic Consultant and power presenter, Graham Tracey,
