๐Ÿš€ Recap from Cursor Meetup Ottawa v2 (Kudos to Kaan Un and AI Tinkerers - Ottawa community): "Using AI Coding Tools to Create Slide Decks Quickly and Beautifully"

Today, I demonstrated how anyone can ditch traditional slide-building methods and use AI coding tools like Cursor to effortlessly create stunning slide decksโ€”in just one-shot!

Since my "A-ha!" moment in March, I've relied exclusively on AI coding tools like Cursor, completely leaving PowerPoint behind.

To explore deeper, I tested the same prompt across 20 AI tools:

  • โœ… 8 generated instantly usable decks (My own File Visualizer, enhanced with Gemini 2.5 Pro, took things even further!)
  • โš™๏ธ 9 required minor tweaks
  • โŒ 3 missed the mark

โ€œStop opening PowerPoint. Start chatting with an AI coding tool and let it build the deckโ€”then focus on telling a great story.โ€

Recommended tools: Cursor, Orchids, v0, Perplexity Lab, Lovable, Kiro, and more. Developer or not, try your own topic and experience the magic firsthand!

๐ŸŽ‰ Bonus News: OpenAIโ€™s new ChatGPT Agent, released today, also creates slide decks now!
