Deckwise is the AI presentation agent that turns topics, notes, files, and sources into clear, editable decks.Deckwise is an AI presentation agent that turns topics, notes, files, and sources into clear, editable decks. It plans the outline first, creates structured slides, and lets you keep improving them with an agent: select any part with lasso, then ask Deckwise to rewrite, redesign, reorder, or polish it. Not just generated once — improved with you.

Why most AI presentation tools still feel like toys???
Been building in the AI presentation space recently and wanted to share a quick teardown of why current tools still frustrate us:
Gamma: Great for simple bullet points, but its Notion-like block structure kills spatial freedom. It fails at 90% of complex, real-world PPT tasks.
PowerPoint: Legacy XML is an absolute nightmare for AI to parse and generate reliably. It's just not built for the SaaS era.
Pitch: Beautiful canvas, but it’s a traditional tool with AI bolted on, not an AI-native agent.
Claude/HTML slides: Generating code is cool, but having no visual GUI editor is a dealbreaker. "Prompt-and-pray" is not a reliable workflow.
The takeaway?
The only logical path forward is a true 2D spatial canvas built for AI agents, paired with a real native editor and rich assets so you can actually tweak things 1:1. That’s exactly the paradigm we’re exploring with Deckwise.
Or maybe I'm just being too picky? 🤔
How does the AI understand complex overlapping elements and layered layouts that aren't simple linear flows?
Deckwise
@crystalmei Thanks! Yes, many AI presentation tools avoid this by constraining slides into non-overlapping, bento-style layouts. It’s more stable, but it also limits real editing. To be honest, we do this in some places today as well.
Technically, I think solving this properly requires something like a lightweight world model for presentations:
State: what’s on the slide now — text, images, layout, and style.
Actions: what the AI can do — edit text, move things, resize, or redesign.
Result: what the slide looks like after the change.
Rules: what to avoid — overlaps, overflow, or broken layouts.
Evaluation: whether it’s better — clearer, easier to read, and more balanced.
Goals: what the user wants — shorter, more like a pitch deck, or more suitable for ads or investors.
It’s more complex than today’s stable SaaS patterns, but I believe this is where next-generation AI presentation software has to go. That’s what we’re working toward.

lasso-selecting a slide and asking it to redesign is the part every other deck tool skips. does it hold brand styling consistent across the whole deck?
Deckwise
@reallynattu Yes, that’s the idea. Lasso feels natural for working on a canvas.
We designed it so the agent can edit a selected area while still keeping the full deck context in mind: theme, typography, layout patterns, and brand direction.
Technically, we try to provide this information in the context. But the bottleneck is partly the base model capability from the API provider we use, OpenAI, and partly the context window itself. As the context gets larger, especially with longer decks, maybe 30+ slides, consistency becomes much harder.
That’s definitely one of the technical problems we care about.
Thanks for pointing it out!

@divvsaxena Great question! Deckwise focuses on what happens after generation: editable decks + an AI agent that helps you refine slides inside the editor.
