Are AI presentation tools solving the wrong problem?

Something I've noticed about AI slide tools: they all lead with the same pitch — design from scratch / pick a template / make deck beautiful. The hero moment is always "look, a gorgeous slide appeared."

Fair enough. But for analysts, RevOps, and BI folks, the real grind is recurring: new numbers com in, reuse or refer to existing deck style, same charts types — you just need data refreshed and insights rewritten across multiple slides. Low tolerance for error. You're not reinventing the deck; you're trying not to break it.

For Google Slides, most people still bounce between Sheets and Slides, re-wiring charts and fixing drifted formatting. The category barely talks about this — maybe because "generate a stunning deck" demos better in 30 seconds than "update 12 slides without breaking chart formatting."

We've been chipping away at this — plain-language commands for data-oriented Google Slides if anyone wants to poke: https://sewpoint.app

What part of your deck workflow do current tools still fail at?
