Crafting captivating slides for your presentations just became a breeze with Google Slides, a tool rapidly becoming indispensable for many. Its rich features, from seamless sharing to collaborative editing, elevate productivity to new heights.
Now, imagine combining this with the prowess of AI! Many are turning to the AI-powered chatbot, ChatGPT, to add that professional touch to their presentations.
In this blog post we explain how to harness ChatGPT for Google Slides, ensuring your next slide presentation leaves a lasting impression on your audience.
ChatGPT for Google Slides: A Guide To Setting Everything Up
In order for you to use ChatGPT as your superpower AI assistant to generate Google Slides, you’ll need to do is follow the steps that we’ve laid out below.
But before we start, you need to understand that ChatGPT has been designed to only provide text-based responses. This means that you will have to manually transfer any of the generated content you get from the AI chatbot into your Google Slides presentation.

And while this may involve some menial work on your part, it will still allow you to leverage all of ChatGPT’s capabilities while working on your Google Slides.
So with that being said, all you need to do in order to use ChatGPT alongside Google Slides is follow these easy steps:
1. Open Google Slides: Go to the Google Slides website and either open a new or an existing presentation.
2. Open ChatGPT: In a separate browser tab or window, access the platform or website where you usually interact with ChatGPT. You can, of course, log onto ChatGPT directly. But there are now many other platforms built on its application programming interface (API), from which you can also access it from.
3. Split Your Screen or Move One Window to Each Monitor: Arrange your Google Slides and ChatGPT browser windows, so that you can view them side by side simultaneously.
4. Get ChatGPT To Generate Content: In the ChatGPT window, give the AI chatbot your best prompts, so that it will generate the text you need to input into your Google Slides. You can also ask ChatGPT for ideas, suggestions, or explanations that are related to the topic of your presentation, which you may want to add.
5. Manually Transfer The Text: Click on the copy file icon in ChatGPT in order to copy the generated text. Then all you have to do is paste it into the desired slide of your Google Slides presentation. Once you’ve done that, you may have to adjust the font formatting, so that it matches the rest of the slides in your presentation.
6. Customize Your Presentation: You can even edit, customize, and refine the content that ChatGPT generates for you, so that it suits the topic of your presentation. Even better, you can do this as many times as you like. For instance, you might want to also add visuals, edit the wording, and then format the content of your slide to make it more visually appealing for your audience.
