AI-generating a presentation from a WORD outline: Unsatisfactory

 A moment ago, I created a WORD document in Outline mode, which I had PPT convert to a presentation. 

Then I thought: 'Since I have an outline document already, can I use an AI app to turn it into a slidedeck.'

I first tried https://app.presentations.ai/

It did allow me to upload my outline document. There was the option of keeping mostly to my outline content (vs generating new content). 

The Result:

https://app.presentations.ai/view/0X3WGXPqt4

- Text: It retains all of my outline text. But it has still added some additional text which I need to delete. 

- Visual design: Yes, it's there, but not always useful 

-CONCLUSION: Still not useful. 

===========================

Then I tried CANVA.AI

In the prompt box, I pasted in my outline. 

RESULT: 

- It didn't use my outline text. 

- It can only generate from a topic. 

CONCLUSION: Canva AI is not useful for generating slidedecks either.
