Hi Product Hunt ! I'm Aymeric, co-builder of Folio 👋
Making slides is a huge time sink. And the current "AI for Slides" tools are lame: they make you wait for minutes and lost focus, and produce broken output.
We built Folio as the first real-time AI copilot for slides. It's over 6x faster than competitors, and makes high quality slides that you can iterate on. It supports native charts, all kinds of shapes, LaTeX equations.
It also works directly from your layouts and assets, to preserve your brand
Here are examples of produced by Folio in one shot:
- Air France 2025 financial statements
- 2025 State of AI by McKinsey
We've been testing over the past few months with power users form consulting or finance teams. The feedback has been incredible. Most are saving hours on slide-intensive days, one user told us it's like a ChatGPT moment for slides.
What makes Folio good? At the core of our tech is our slides engine: we have found a great way to represent and edit slides for an AI agent, combining both simplicity and expressivity, to burn 6x fewer tokens. We benchmarked it against leading slides copilots : it takes top rank, by a wide margin.
🎁 We made an exclusive promo code for Product Hunt: HUNT4FOLIO gives you one free month of Plus, on us!
Try the full version right now on Google Slides, or the demo on our homepage.
We're looking forward to your feedback to improve the product! 😃
@aymericroucher The "6x fewer tokens" line is the part I'd dig into, that's the whole game with an agent editing structured docs. Most tools dump the whole slide as JSON/XML and the model drowns in it. What's the representation under the hood, a diff-based format, a semantic layer over the slide tree? Same problem shows up anywhere an agent edits a structured artifact, not just slides.
Folio
@david_marko good quesiton, you're getting ot the heart of it! Sadly, we cannot say the secret sauce (or spill the secret beans) but we have a simplified representation format for slides, that's what allows us to be efficient!
@aymericroucher Congrats on the launch! This is awesome! The native PowerPoint/Google Slides integration with surgical in-place edits is a nice departure from the regenerate-everything pattern most AI slide tools default to. Curious how Folio handles version conflicts — if a user manually edits a slide in PowerPoint and then asks for an AI edit on that same slide, does it reconcile the manual changes, or does the AI edit just overwrite them?

@fmerian thank you for your help!
Congrats on another great launch! One thing I'm trying to picture - when I say "make the chart bigger" and it stops fitting the template grid, do you guys push the neighboring shapes? Or hold them as constraints?
Folio
@artstavenka1 we leave this for the agent to decide ! It's instructed to rearrange things only when needed, so depending on the conditions I imagine it will move other shapes only if relevant. But do you think holding some shapes as "locked" would be an important feature to add?
@aymericroucher believe so yes
Folio
@artstavenka1 thank you, that's good feedback ! Meanwhile please tell us when you have some usage feedback too!
Huge congrats for shipping this @aymericroucher qq. on the native charts can Folio link directly to live data in Google Sheets or Excel, or does it generate static charts?
Folio
@vikramp7470 hi Vikram thank you for your question, that's a good point!
You can just drop your Excel file to Folio as an attachment, and it will read all the data.
But if what you want is a deep link to live-update charts, we don't have this for now ; but we can prioritize this in our feature roadmap: would you use it in Google Sheets or Excel?
@aymericroucher Thanks for the clarification...hope it's on the roadmap soon , def i'll be check
Folio
@vikramp7470 no worries, don't hesitate to ping us going forward if you need anything else: user feedback is a strong hint for us to prioritize features like this "live chart" one!
the iterate part is the thing that always breaks with AI slide tools. they generate something glossy on round 1 and then the second prompt regresses the whole layout.
how does folio handle rounds 2 through 5? if i say "make the chart bigger and move it left" does it preserve the rest, or does it regenerate everything and i have to redo the parts i liked?
that's been the deal breaker on every AI slide tool i've tried this year.
Folio
@thenameisarian great question, and that's exactly the axis that we should have an edge on! Folio works in-place, doing a surgical edit to the slide that you asked for, but does not change anything else : you can even keep working on other slides while the agent is doing their changes. Please do give us feedback!
@thenameisarian @aymericroucher so that’s a question I had actually - can I get it to work on one complex part of the deck while focusing on another? Given that it usually takes a while that would be critical
Folio
@thenameisarian @marie_sergue1 yes that's a good way to work with Folio : task it on a slide, then it will take like 20seconds : so you can go do a quick edit elsewhere, and come back right after to see your slide edited!
@thenameisarian @aymericroucher ok 20sec might be a bit too short for me to do productive work on the side 😅 I guess I’ll just try and see what works best for me. I saw Folio had different models, I guess Max is the more complex reasoning, longer time to think one as compared to Fast?
@aymeric_roucher I realize I might be spamming a bit, apologies. Quick additional question I had - what about web search? Asking as I’m using LLMs for research on the side, being able to prompt something like « check this website and update financial figures with the latest from last quarter »?
Folio
@aymeric_roucher @marie_sergue1 haha no worries it's great to have feedback!
Folio does support web search : basically the agent can search by itself, both the web of course, but also in any documents you provided to it, we found that it vastly improves the relevance of the materials created!
Folio
@daniel_adsuar_prieto nice to hear that, thanks a lot for your feedback! 😃 Yes, absolutely : it can use an existing slide template, you can also attach another deck to your message so that the agent can copy its template. Finally you can even set some slides as a Reference, that will be then usable from anywhere, even another presentation : if you name the model slide "3-column" for instance, typing "Copy the structure of @3-column, but use the content of the attached pdf" even from within another presentation would allow your agent to access the reference slide.
