Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Atharva, maker of Preso.
After starting my B.Tech, I quickly realized how much time was spent creating presentations. The hardest part wasn't making slides, it was turning scattered notes, documents, PDFs, and ideas into something that actually looked good.
I wanted a faster way to go from idea → presentation without sacrificing design quality or control.
That's why I built Preso.
Preso is an AI presentation builder that helps you generate, edit, and customize presentations in minutes.
What makes it different:
• Generate decks from prompts, documents, PDFs, and text
• Freeform canvas - move, resize, and customize every element
• AI-powered editing and content generation
• Local-first architecture with full ownership of your work
• BYOK support - connect directly to your preferred AI provider
• Export to PPTX, PDF, and standalone HTML
I built Preso around a simple idea:
AI should help create presentations faster, but users should still have complete control over the final result.
I'd love to hear:
• What presentation tools are you currently using?
• What's your biggest frustration when creating slides?
• Which feature would you like to see next?
Looking forward to your feedback and questions 🚀

@atharva9167j Really like the balance between AI generation and full creative control. A lot of presentation tools save time but sacrifice flexibility, so the freeform canvas approach stands out. What's the biggest reason users switch to Preso from tools like Gamma or Canva?

@nicole_hynek That's exactly the gap we built Preso for. The biggest difference is that Preso doesn't make you choose between AI and creative control.
Gamma: Great first-generation AI, but editing afterwards becomes template-driven and restrictive.
Canva: Excellent freeform canvas, but the AI mainly helps with basic tasks rather than acting as a true presentation co-pilot.
Preso: Combines both:
Strong AI-generated presentations
Fully editable freeform canvas after generation
AI stays involved throughout the process
Just describe what you want, and Preso updates content, structure, and design with you
Users switch because they get AI speed + complete flexibility, instead of sacrificing one for the other.
