I've been trying to solve the same problem for three years.
Not the same product — I've shipped multiple products. But the same underlying problem: why does making a presentation still take so long?
Where It Started
Back when I was building MagicSlides, the goal was simple. Give people a way to generate presentations with AI. We shipped it, people loved it, and it grew.
But somewhere along the way, we got ambitious. We built a full slide editor — custom fonts, drag and drop, design controls, theme pickers, animation settings. The whole thing.
And it worked. It still works. But it became heavy.
Every time I sat down to make a quick presentation, I found myself spending more time in the editor than I wanted. Tweaking things. Adjusting layouts. Picking fonts. Doing things the AI was supposed to do for me.
We had built a powerful tool. But power isn't always what you need.
The Actual Problem
The real problem I was trying to solve was never "how do I give people a full design suite."
It was this: I have a topic, I have 5 minutes, I need a presentation.
That's it. That's the problem. And for that specific problem, a heavy editor is actually friction, not a feature.
I started thinking about what the perfect experience would look like if I stripped everything back. No editor tabs. No toolbar. No "choose your theme from 47 options."
Just: type your topic, hit generate, get a presentation.
Why I Built PptGPT
PptGPT is my answer to that question.
It is deliberately minimal. There is no complex editor. There are no design settings to configure before you start. You come in, you describe what you need, and the AI builds it for you — fast.
I built it because I kept running into the same situation: I needed a deck for a call in 20 minutes, or a pitch overview to send to someone before a meeting, or a quick explainer for a new feature. And every existing tool — including our own — felt like too much setup for what I actually needed.
PptGPT is the tool I kept wishing existed.
How to Use PptGPT
It's genuinely simple. Here's how it works:
Step 1 — Go to pptgpt.com
No downloads. No installs. Open it in your browser and you're ready.
Step 2 — Type your topic or paste your content
You can be as specific or as vague as you want. Something like "Introduction to machine learning for beginners" or "Q3 sales strategy for a SaaS company" both work great. The AI figures out the structure.
Step 3 — Pick your style (optional)
Choose a color style if you want. If you don't touch anything, it picks a clean default. Either way, you're not spending 10 minutes on it.
Step 4 — Hit Generate
The AI builds your entire presentation — slides, layout, content — in seconds.
Step 5 — Download
Export as PPTX, PDF, PNG, or ZIP. Ready to present, share, or edit further in PowerPoint if you want.
That's it. From idea to downloadable presentation in under a minute.
What's Next
This isn't the end of the road. I have a clear picture of what PptGPT becomes — smarter content, better slide logic, more control where it actually matters. But the north star stays the same: fast, simple, done.
If you've ever spent more time making a presentation than you spent on the actual thinking behind it, PptGPT is for you.
Give it a try and let me know what you think.
