Build slide decks in a branded PPTX template
A reviewer used Manus to research slide topics and draft decks inside an uploaded PPTX template.
- What they did
- The reviewer gave Manus either a slide title list or a document, set the number of slides, and let it research the topic and draft an outline on its own. They also uploaded a monthly marketing report PPTX template and asked for a March version. After Manus generated the deck, they could refine it through chat, by editing individual elements, or by hand.
- How it went
- The finished decks were ready in about five minutes before any editing. The writing was solid, and the template’s layouts, fonts, and colors stayed consistent. There were no citations, no checkpoint for the outline, and no PowerPoint or Google Slides connection.
- Tips
- This works best when you mainly need a first draft in a branded format. Be ready to check the content yourself, since the outline is not approved step by step and sources are not included.
Try it yourself with Manus
I’ll give you either a list of slide titles or a document, plus a [number]-slide [deck/report] template in PPTX. Research each topic, draft a clear outline, and build the slides in my template using its existing fonts, colors, and layouts. Before you make any irreversible changes or final export, pause and ask me to approve the outline, content direction, and any missing details. If something does not fit the template, flag it and suggest the closest workable version. Return a PPTX I can keep editing.
