Brightdeck doesn't.

The "Other AI" Nightmare

1

Your team sends a PPT and asks you to add three slides.

2

You upload it to a standard AI presentation tool.

It converts the whole deck into a generic template, breaking everyone else's layouts.

Your team sends a PPT.

You upload it to the Brightdeck web app and specify the requirements.

Common questions about Brightdeck.

Can Brightdeck add slides to a PowerPoint deck I already have?

Yes — this is what Brightdeck is built for. Upload your existing .pptx, tell Brightdeck what slides you need to add, and the new slides will match the deck's existing fonts, colors, and layouts. The slides already in the deck stay exactly as they were.

What file formats does Brightdeck support?

Output is native PowerPoint (.pptx) — open it in PowerPoint, Keynote, or any tool that reads .pptx. For input, Brightdeck accepts existing .pptx decks, plain-text prompts, and pasted document content.

Does Brightdeck support Google Slides?

Brightdeck currently outputs PowerPoint (.pptx). Google Slides will import .pptx files, but native Google Slides output is on the roadmap rather than shipped today.

Can I edit the deck in PowerPoint after Brightdeck generates it?

Yes. Brightdeck outputs a real .pptx file with editable shapes, text boxes, charts, and tables — not flat images. Open it in PowerPoint and edit anything.

Are speaker notes included?

Yes. Every generated slide includes speaker notes you can read live or rewrite for your voice.

How is Brightdeck different from Microsoft Copilot for PowerPoint?

Copilot generates slides inside PowerPoint using Microsoft's standard layouts. Brightdeck generates consulting-grade layouts (matrices, frameworks, charts) and respects the brand of an existing deck when adding new slides. Copilot replaces what you have with its templates; Brightdeck preserves what you have and matches it.

Is Brightdeck free to use?

There's a free tier. No credit card required to start, and you can generate a full deck on the free tier before deciding if it's a fit.

How does Brightdeck handle my data?

Uploaded decks and prompts are processed to generate your output. Full details — what's stored, how long, and your control over deletion — are in our Privacy Policy.
