Twistly

Twistly is an AI-powered presentation assistant that lives directly inside Microsoft PowerPoint. By embedding ChatGPT into the familiar slideshow environment, it lets you generate complete slide decks from text prompts, YouTube videos, PDF documents, or notes – all without ever leaving PowerPoint. Available at twistly.ai, the add-in is built for students, educators, and professionals who want to create polished presentations in under half a minute.

• AI-Powered Slide Generation: Create full presentations instantly from a simple text description, a YouTube URL, a PDF upload, or your own notes.
• AI Image Generation: Automatically produce custom visuals that match your slide content, removing the need for generic stock images.
• Speaker Notes Generator: Add professional speaker notes to any individual slide or across your entire presentation with one click.
• Translation Capabilities: Translate slides into multiple languages directly inside PowerPoint, making your presentation multilingual in seconds.
• Seamless PowerPoint Integration: Works as a native add-in, so there’s no need to export, import, or juggle between different tools.
• Customizable Templates: Start with a library of pre-designed templates that are optimized for AI-generated content and easy to adjust.
• Lightning-Fast Performance: Most presentations are created in under 30 seconds, dramatically cutting down preparation time.

1. Install the add-in: Visit twistly.ai or the Microsoft AppSource marketplace, and add Twistly to your PowerPoint ribbon.
2. Open the Twistly side panel: Launch PowerPoint and navigate to the Twistly tab; the assistant panel will appear on the right side of the window.
3. Choose your input type: Select whether you want to create slides from a text prompt, a YouTube URL, a PDF file, or your own notes.
4. Set your preferences: Pick a template, define the number of slides (subject to your plan’s limits), and optionally adjust the tone or language.
5. Generate the presentation: Click “Generate” – Twistly will build a full slide deck with text, AI images, and speaker notes in about 30 seconds.
6. Review and refine: Use PowerPoint’s normal editing tools to tweak content, add extra slides via Twistly’s “Add Slides” feature, or translate on the fly.
