Turn a PowerPoint deck into a presentation video automatically

Load a PowerPoint deck

The first step is loading the file. Nothing is decided yet; you choose the style and presenter afterwards.

The example is a five-slide briefing deck on the benefits of a generative-AI chat platform for small and midsize companies. It is a sample report produced by DeepResearch in Bestllam (https://bestllam.com), our own service, loaded as it is. The presenter is Sophia.

You can load PowerPoint files (.pptx). For a first try, a deck of three to five slides is a good size. More slides take longer to prepare and generate.
