Decka is a freemium AI presentation maker with a freeform editor and live audience activities. AI-generated presentations open as editable drafts: users can move, resize, restyle, replace or remove objects. The editor includes themes, image frames, background removal and editable advanced charts, while presentations can contain YouTube or uploaded video, Lottie animations and a dynamic agenda. Collaborators can edit together in real time, and presenters can publish view-only links. Audience activities include polls, quizzes, Q&A, word clouds, drawings, games and other formats. Activities work through a PowerPoint add-in and a Google Slides Chrome extension; Enterprise includes API access. Decka requests Google Drive access one presentation at a time through Google’s picker, using file-specific permission. The Free plan costs nothing and allows two live sessions and 200 participants monthly, with 50 people per activity. Pro starts at $10 a year billed annually; Enterprise pricing is tailored and unlisted.

livepoll.io is an audience polling platform for presenters, trainers, educators and other facilitators. It supports live polls, Q&A and quizzes, with 12 question types including multiple choice, word clouds, ranking and image choice. Responses appear in real time, and presenters control when results become visible. Participants join from a phone or laptop with a six-character code or QR code, without installing an app or creating an account. The free default allows up to 1,000 participants per session; presenters can raise that to 2,000 or 3,000 in the dashboard, while larger events require contacting the company. Sessions include unlimited questions and sessions, live results, and CSV and PDF exports. Ended sessions can be shared by link, with an optional follow-up survey. An AI session builder generates questions from a plain-English description, subject to daily per-account fair-use limits that reset the next day. Participant-facing pages may show ads, while presenter screens and exports are ad-free. The company says participant data is not passed to advertisers. A Zoom app provides polls, quizzes and Q&A in a meeting sidebar. The service is available on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows.
