Hi everyone,
Alai 2.0 is our biggest launch ever. Here's what's new:
1. Alai's Modern slides: Alai can capture your brand precisely. Upload templates, website, existing visuals and design docs. Alai creates a design system that captures everything. Starting from basics like typography, colors, and logo while also covering headers & footers, patterns, element styles, and layouts.
2. Create any visual: Once your design system is set up, you can create presentations, social media posts, infographics, ads, carousels or assets in any canvas size.
Here's 3 reasons why you should use Alai:
1. Brand: Don't settle for generic AI slop. AI can capture your brand precisely now if the design system has all the details.
2. Control: You can make edits on text, images and layouts manually or using our AI agents. Every change has a version history making it easy to go back.
3. Choice: By default we use the top LLMs and image models. However, you can pick your own models to balance cost, quality and latency.
We work closely with every user to make sure that they're setup for success. Reach out to us if you need help or have any feedback.
🎁 To celebrate this launch, everyone who leaves thoughtful comments gets free 1000 AI credits.
@krishna_gupta51 Going from presentations to social posts to 'more' — how'd you prioritize which content types to ship first? Curious if one format drove most of your early engagement.
@krishna_gupta51 For agencies managing many client brands, does Alai learn an agency's "house style" separately from each client brand, or is everything scoped per brand system?

One of our biggest updates ever!
With Alai 2.0, we wanted to kill the generic AI slop. We built Modern Slides to generate stunning, eye catching slides that focus on actually conveying your message clearly, without the rigid, repetitive feel of traditional template engines
Our Design System builder ingests your master PPTX files, guidelines, or website to map out your brand’s true layout patterns and card styles. You get slides that naturally stand out while keeping your authentic brand identity completely intact
Plus, you get full manual edit control and agentic support to tweak anything on the fly.
Would love to get your feedback on what we've built!

As the world becomes full of AI slop and everything starts looking the same, we believe it's critical to have an AI product that actually gives leverage to people and companies who truly care about everything that makes their brand unique. Alai is our attempt to build exactly that.
With Alai, the learnings compound and the AI becomes stronger with every design artifact you make. Try it out and let us know what you think!
Alai
Brand-true slides, not your usual AI slop.
Point Alai at your PPTX, brand guidelines, or website, it builds a design system that captures how your brand actually looks, then creates slides, posts, carousels, or ads in any size.
Edit by hand or with agents, full version history, your choice of models.
Would love your feedback. 🙌
Alai
AI makes creating things easier, but getting it to actually look like yours is usually an added task
That's exactly what we focused on with this update, making your designs feel like yours from the first draft
Excited to see what you all make with it 🙌

These days, you can look at a deck and instantly tell it was made by AI. That generic AI slop immediately reduces the trust and perceived quality of the entire presentation.
Alai is built to solve exactly that.
Here's how it works:
Upload your brand assets — brand guidelines, PowerPoint or Google Slides templates, logos, fonts, website links, and anything else that represents your visual identity.
Alai captures your design system in depth — writing style, text highlights, headers and footers, presentation-specific patterns, decorative elements, backgrounds, textures, image treatments, and more.
Make changes simply by prompting the agent.
Once you're happy, use that design system to generate presentations that look as if they were crafted by your in-house designer.
And it doesn't stop at presentations. The same design system can be used to create social posts, infographics, documents, and other visual content — all in your brand language.
We'd love to see what you build with Alai.
This looks cool. Does it remember brand guidelines across different workspaces or projects?
Alai
@dhiraj_patel5 thank you! Yes it does, you can create individual brand systems for different brands and workspaces.
Alai
@sa206 its pretty good at following brand guidelines. Colors and typography are basics which I think most tools would be able to do. However, background patterns, headers and footers, card styles, other element styles etc is where it gets really interesting. The design system is flexible enough to capture as much depth as you'd want.
Sometimes users create a few assets with the DS to get a better sense of what's working and then they're quickly able to iterate on the DS to fix those issues for future assets.
We produce a lot of client decks that each need to match the clients’ brand. Can Alai hold multiple brands and pick per project?
Alai
@gaharavara yes it can! You can add as many brand systems as you like and every time you create a new deck, you can pick which brand system to use.
congrats on the launch! The thing I keep hitting with brand-capture tools is that the source assets are already a mess. Real companies have years of decks made by a dozen different people, all slightly off from the actual guideline. When you guys ingests that, does it average the noise or treat the official brand doc as the source of truth? Overall, solid work!
Alai
@artstavenka1 thanks Art!
usually when creating the design system you want to minimize the noise and use the best assets you already have. The better the source assets, the happier you'll be with the DS.
Once you see the first version and create a few assets, you'll get a stronger intuition on what's working/what's missing and you can go back to the DS to iterate on it for future assets.
