Tried out PPT slides.ai add-on: Still not meeting my needs

 Tried out the add-on. 

1. There are 4 ways to start. The script method, which makes use of only the script uploaded, is a paid feature. 

2. For the free plan, you can start with a topic. You can also paste in a text, but it may generate new contents. 

3. I used the result of a Gemini chat on SRL; pasted it into the prompt box, which has word limit. 

OUTPUT

- very texty

- minimal visuals included

- suitable for reading, but not for presenting a lecture from. 




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

The built-in Copilot function is free. It can stick to your input text. It generates some visuals, which are usually graphics, that relate to the content of the slides. The biggest minus is its very slow speed.
