I genuinely stopped using PowerPoint.
Spending days aligning boxes feels insane when you can build a whole app in the same time. So I made an app for building slides.
The old way
Open PowerPoint. Pick a template that almost works. Spend 2 hours nudging boxes. Realize the font sizes are inconsistent. Fix those. Export. Client says "can you make it more modern?" Start over.
This loop used to eat entire days. For a 10-slide deck. It never felt like real work, just formatting tax.
The new way
> "A fintech startup for African payments"
→ Title slide appears.
> "Show the problem we're solving"
→ Data viz, done.
> "Add our traction"
→ Growth charts, done.

Three prompts. Full deck. 2 minutes.
No Figma. No templates. Just prompts. The AI handles layout, typography, color. You handle the story.
Why it matters
The point is not that slides are bad. The point is that the time between having an idea and presenting it should be minutes, not days. Most of the friction in traditional tools is visual formatting, not thinking. Remove the formatting and you get back to what actually matters: the content.
The shift
Open source. Free forever.
