Folveo is an AI slide studio for turning a text description into a presentation deck, aimed at people who do not want to work with technical setup. It connects to AI assistants installed on the user's computer and says it can configure one without a terminal or API key. Folveo says it adds no AI fees; users can choose a free model or an AI subscription they already have. Slides can be edited directly and built with elements such as charts, stat cards, quizzes, timelines, pricing tables, diagrams, and icon grids. Presenting options include audience and speaker views, plus a phone remote paired by QR code over Wi-Fi. Files can be opened from PowerPoint or.folveo and exported to PDF, PowerPoint, MP4, or a.folveo package. The maker says slides stay on the user's device and can be presented or exported offline. Slide content is not sent to Folveo, though prompts sent through a chosen third-party AI assistant follow that provider's policies. Folveo runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and supports Vietnamese and English. The free plan costs nothing; Pro Monthly costs $3.99 a month; Pro Annual costs $39 a year; Founder Lifetime is listed at $129 a month.
