Heyo! Guess what?! I’m still unemployed. BUT I’m having a blast with AI. Check out my clone I created here.
I wanted to start by saying that I’m not affiliated with any of these AI platforms I’m writing about. Before I even think about recommending anything to you, I roll up my sleeves and deep-dive into researching and testing these platforms myself. Think of me as your personal software sommelier. 🕵️♂️🍷
This week I wanted to show you a tool to help you turn your sparks of creativity into a slick presentation!
Beautiful.ai—your new bestie in the realm of presentation-building. This tool takes the grunt work out of creating polished presentations. I love how you can upload your company deck, get inspired by other slides, and enhance your preso.
Back when I was working, I always needed slides but I could never find the right one in the company deck. I spent way too much time creating new ones. I was always annoyed at myself because I needed to make it look good and back it up with data. I love how this tool has so many data slide options.
Here are more reasons you might like it:
Kickstart Your Creativity: Blank slides can be over whelming. Beautiful.ai offers a bunch of smart templates that make starting easy peasy.
Automatic Adjustments: Add your content and watch as the layout adjusts itself to fit perfectly.
Sleek Design Options: Access to a vast library of modern images and icons ensures your slides look top-notch and on-brand.
Ready-Made Slides: Tons of customizable slides are ready to go, helping you cut down the time you spend building from scratch.
Easy to Use: The interface is intuitive, making it simple to mix, match, and modify layouts as you like.
How does this help you?
In marketing, time is always of the essence. This tool lets you put together impactful presos crazy fast, so you can keep your projects moving without sacrificing quality. It’s about making sure your ideas not only look good but also get across effectively and efficiently. Execs don’t really get what we do or what the potential impact could be so ya gotta sell it!
For those of us who aren’t natural designers— this tool is a lifesaver. It levels up your presentation game without the headache of fiddling with designs and alignments.
Also it doesn’t come with a hefty price tag. It’s just $12 a month. For those wondering about Canva and other tools—think of this tool as an upgrade. Also, perhaps your employer will pay for it if you don’t have the design resources right now.
At the very. least sign up for the free trial and download some slides!
Love your CMA Soulmate,
Leslie
