PowerPoint. Google Slides. Keynote. Canva. Beautiful.AI. Pitch. Gamma. Figma Slides. And yet…

Everyone wants the same thing: to make a high-quality deck as quickly and easily as possible. Yet all current options set a bar that’s incredibly low. The choice today is either cumbersome & hard, or quick & sloppy.

Alai exists so that you don’t have to compromise on ease and quality.

Being able to tell your story through a deck is a fundamentally creative process.

The right narrative, structure and design all have to come together. Ideas don’t come fully formed at the start. Getting to something that feels right requires trying out many different things. Alai is your true ally in the process and makes it easy to explore and iterate.

For instance, every time you create a slide with AI, we show you four different options to choose from for your first draft.

Anyone who’s ever made a presentation knows the pain of a blank slide.

You stare at an empty screen thinking about how to get started. Then, you perhaps try to put a few boxes and some text on the screen, and it ends up looking terrible and you just throw that away. Maybe, you try to find an existing template and after trying to tediously fit your content into it, you realize it doesn’t really fit. You are already an hour in and you realize you haven’t made any real progress.

You then think about hiring a designer…

Knowing that it’s going to take a lot of time, effort and money to find someone. And even if you do, very often you realize they did not end up understanding your context or match your vibe.

You might have also tried some of the many “AI powered” presentation products…

and given them their fair shot, but they all end up coming up with something that’s irrelevant or just mediocre. Every way to get started today is broken.

That’s where Alai comes in.

When you create a new presentation with Alai, we take in your content (including all your images and visuals) and give you easy ways to steer the AI. We then generate an outline allowing you to perfect the narrative and the overall flow of the presentation. After that, the slides are generated and you get 4 different options for each slide.

Unlike other tools, we make sure the layouts and the visuals actually work with your content. In just a few minutes, you get a great first draft to build upon.

And we don’t stop at the first draft. We want you to be able to go all the way to a polished presentation within Alai itself. There are three ways we make that happen:

1. Slides on Alai are built with high-level building blocks that we call elements.

   These range from simpler, more common elements like textbox, tables, timelines, sections/columns, charts to specifically designed elements for common scenarios like comparisons. Each element is beautifully designed and comes with a curated set of options to adapt them for your use case. Elements are also responsive when you resize them. You can also just manually drag and drop them to get to your desired layout. With traditional presentation software like Powerpoint, you are often just endlessly pushing pixels and moving boxes around. Once you use Alai, you will never want to go back to those tools again.
   
   

2. Alai is built with the philosophy of giving all the power of AI when you want it while keeping you in control at all times.

   We have many different AI agents to help you perfect your slide. Some of them include changing the layout of the slide with AI, rewriting the content, converting any element on the slide into anything else or controlling the tone or verbosity of the slide.
   
   

3. We have a wide range of themes, colors, and visual styles that you can switch between anytime.

   By taking care of all the design details, Alai lets you focus on the story.

What it all comes down to…

Traditional presentation tools have become incredibly complex to the point where you need to be a professional designer specializing in them in order to be able to use them. They put all the burden on the user to make every single choice. Some of the other players like Gamma have gotten a lot of love, but they barely scratch the surface. You often end up with mediocre decks and little control.

Alai is different and opinionated. We take the stance that creating high-quality presentations should be easy and fast.
