Deckster is
Like a junior associate who drafts 90% of your presentation in 10 minutes
Pre-built slide layouts that write themselves - pick one (pricing table, agenda, etc.) and Deckster fills it based on your deck's context
ChatGPT fused with your slides - type "add pricing slide" and it appears. Type "translate to German" and the whole deck changes. Every message = immediate visual feedback
Deckster is not
Canva or Gamma - you can't freely move boxes or tweak spacing. Design stays locked for consistency and speed
A creative AI that invents layouts - it uses professionally built slide types based on proven best practices
The core trade-off
Deckster doesn't allow free editing of slide layouts, you can't move boxes or adjust spacing. This constraint is THE feature that makes Deckster fast and reliable.
Unlimited layout freedom = unlimited decisions. Most presentations don't need custom layouts, they need good content with a clear message, delivered quickly. Free-form editing leads to inconsistent spacing, unbalanced colors, broken exports, and hours spent tweaking boxes instead of sharpening arguments.
We provide professionally designed slide templates with multiple layout options (i.e. 3-column, 4-column, comparison tables, timelines, etc.). You control what actually matters: Change icons, swap visuals, edit text, adjust colors, select fonts.
Slide Library
Deckster's slide library isn't just pretty templates, it's professionally designed slides with embedded intelligence. Each slide type has specific AI instructions that guide how content is approached and written. When you pick a "pricing comparison" slide, the AI doesn't just fill boxes, it knows to emphasize value tiers, highlight differentiators, and match your established tone. The visual structure AND the content logic are built in.
Our slide library offers 50+ professionally designed slide types (with various layouts) covering 95% of business presentation needs (i.e. Problem statement slide, 5 whys slide, comparison slide, table slide, market share, etc). Can't find exact match? Let us know and we will quickly add what's missing.
Enterprise plan:
For enterprise plan, we recreate your brand slide template designs 1:1, so you operate Deckster with your usual, brand-approved slides.
Iteration engine
The first draft is your starting point, not your finish line. Deckster's editor is built for rapid iteration: restructure your entire deck in Full Presentation mode, refine individual slides in Single Slide mode, swap icons and images, generate charts from data, add or delete sections. You're shaping a structured draft into your final version at 5× normal speed.
On editing:
urrently, all text editing happens via AI commands, not manual typing. Coming very soon: direct manual text editing.
Recipes
If you create the same type of presentation regularly (investor updates, sales decks, client reports), Recipes save you massive time. Deckster captures your slide structure, slide types, tone settings, and custom instructions, then uses them as a reusable template. Next time, select your Recipe, add the new context (Q3 data, new client name, updated product features), and generate. You get consistency without rebuilding from scratch every time.
Step 1: Generation
Write a good prompt.
Good prompts are context-rich (who, what, background), goal-specific (what should audience do), and constraint-light (don't pre-structure slides).
Bad Prompt (Too Vague):
"Presentation about our bank"
Bad Prompt (Pre-structured):
"Slide 1: Welcome to Virtus Bank
Slide 2: Our services include...
Slide 3: Contact information..."
Good Prompt:
"I need a presentation about our tool Deckster. You can use information from our homepage www.deckster.pro. Presentation should be focused on corporate offering, highlighting benefits for organizations like:
1) Consistent styling
2) Same communication language for all employees
3) Tailor-made template library precisely following corporate brand guidelines
4) Ability to fine-tune messaging for various use-cases on company, department and team level.
Cover also technical aspects of deterministic approach to visual components combined with AI-powered narrative, structure and content creation. Focus on AI being guard-railed by additional contextual settings in the system. It should be a comprehensive presentation, which could be distributed by our contact within their company, so it should be self-explanatory and clearly highlight the benefits of this solution for organizations. Highlight the value of clear consistent communication and good narrative line. Show 80/20 benefits of focusing on content rather than formatting.
Clearly articulate that the system does not create slide layouts on the fly, instead relies on extensive complex and curated slide library. With the benefits being consistency and controlled design. Use plain English without technical terms, but keep the main message intact. Goal: presentation to be used as initial send-out."
Select parameters.
Choose Mode, Recipe (presentation type), and Audience. All are required.
Understanding parameters:
Mode: Speaking = text-light for live talks. Send out = text-heavy for reading.
Recipe (Presentation Type): Prebuilt presentation types (Corporate pitch, Investor pitch, etc.) with embedded logic.
Audience: Shapes language complexity and focus (C-level executives, Team, Client, Investors).
Attach files (optional).
Add PDFs, CSVs, Excel files, or Word docs if you want Deckster to pull data or context from them.
Click generate.
Wait 5-10 minutes. Deckster is processing your entire context, thinking through narrative structure, and building your first draft.
What to expect:
First drafts are 70-90% accurate depending on prompt quality. You'll always need to refine, but you're refining structured content, not staring at blank slides. Even if 30% needs fixes, you're still 5x faster than traditional methods.
Step 2: Iterate presentation structure and slides content with AI
Full Presentation Mode (for structure changes)
Reorder slides: "Move pricing before features"
Add/delete slides: "Add slide about security compliance" or "Remove slide 7"
Major changes: "Translate to German" or "Enrich with industry data"
Structural remakes: "Transform this workshop deck into an onboarding presentation" or "Convert this technical deep-dive into an executive summary" or "Refocus this global AI trends deck specifically on Germany"
Single Slide Mode (for content refinement)
Toggle to Single Slide at bottom right. Select the slide you want to edit. This mode works only on the selected slide. You cannot add or delete slides here.
What you can do:
"Make title more concrete"
"Reduce bullet points to 3"
"Emphasize cost savings instead of speed"
Step 3: Edit details with AI
Add, delete and change layout of slides
You can delete or add slides from our big slide library. At Deckster, slides aren't classified by look (bullet point slides, timeline slides, etc.) but rather by application - problem statement, solutions context, arguments, etc.
Work with images
You can delete or add slides from our big slide library. At Deckster, slides aren't classified by look (bullet point slides, timeline slides, etc.) but rather by application - problem statement, solutions context, arguments, etc.
Work with icons
Some slides are prepopulated with image placeholders. You'll see a "Change image" button. When you click it, Deckster understands what the slide is about and selects 6 images it thinks best fit. Choose one.
Auto-generate charts
Similar to images. If you have some data in your initial prompt Deckster will use it to prepopulate charts based on that data and presentation narrative, so your data would tell a story, not just show numbers. Alternatively, you can upload a CSV or XLS file for a data slide and it will be converted to a chart.
Step 6: Export to PowerPoint or Slides
Finally, after all the edits you could click a button, and get a fully editable PowerPoint or Google Slides presentation draft. Ready to be used as is, or being subject to further edits, with for example confidential information.
