ChatSlide vs Decky

ChatSlide turns documents, topics, and research into presentations using AI generation and summarization. Users can upload notes or files, import material from supported sources, or enter a topic; the platform arranges content into slides with layouts, images, and speaker notes. Its 19 editing tools can add examples, rewrite content by grade level, and refine slides. Upload formats include PDF, DOCX, PPTX, TXT, and images; content sources also include URLs, YouTube, PubMed, OpenAlex, and ClinicalTrials.gov. Presentations can be exported as PowerPoint, PDF, or Keynote, and decks can be rendered as narrated videos with AI voiceover in more than 30 languages. The free tier includes 100 credits and PDF export; PowerPoint export is paid, and no credit card is required to start. Paid plans list project limits from 30 to 60 slides. Presentations are private by default, and free-plan uploads may be deleted after up to 30 days.

Decky is a presentation system that learns from existing decks, brand assets, imagery, and approved content to generate on-brand presentations. Users can import PowerPoint or Google Slides files, scan a website, and upload logos, images, icons, and other materials. Brand rules apply at the object level, covering fonts, colors, logo use, and locked layout elements. Decky creates native.pptx files and Google Slides decks without a proprietary format or conversion step. Slides can be revised through chat or edited normally in PowerPoint and Google Slides. A REST API and MCP server expose templates, slide libraries, and generation actions to AI assistants and internal agents. Enterprise governance includes centralized templates, approved slide libraries, role-based permissions, SAML 2.0 SSO, version control, and usage visibility. Decky states that it is SOC 2 Type II certified, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and does not use customer content to train its models or third-party foundation models. Deleted data is removed from active systems and backups within 30 days. The Free plan costs nothing. Pro costs $29 a month. Enterprise is a custom annual plan.
