It does not show every fact you know. Each slide makes one point. The details stay in the report. ## What it is **Claude Slides** makes a **deck**: a set of slides for a talk. It can start from your notes, a report or your chat. You can change the slides yourself, present them from Claude, and save a copy as a file. It is on every plan, including Free.[^anthropic-artifacts] ## Build one In the Claude desktop app, ask for a deck in any chat, or pick the Slides tile in the Artifacts tab. Say what it is about, who will watch it, and how many slides you want. If you already have a doc, ask Claude to turn it into a deck. For Brightline: > Turn this Friday's payment run into a three-slide deck for the manager: the total, the invoices marked "ask", and what the manager must decide. One idea per slide. People who use the **Code tab**, the part of the Claude app for longer work, can also type `/slides` (a short command that starts with a slash) and a short description.[^claude-code-artifacts] ## Change it and present it - **Fix a slide yourself:** change a word, move a box, correct a number. - **Ask Claude for big changes,** such as "Make slide 2 a chart" or "Cut it to five slides". - **Present it from Claude,** in full screen.[^anthropic-artifacts] ## Share it and save a copy Only you can see a new deck. Click **Share** and pick a level for each person: **Viewer** (can read it), **Commenter** (can also comment) or **Editor** (can also change it). The buttons say "Can view", "Commenter" and "Can edit".[^anthropic-share] To save a copy, export it as a PowerPoint or PDF file, or open it in Google Slides.[^anthropic-artifacts] Do this at the end. The file does not change when you fix the deck later. ## Check it before you present it This picture uses Brightline's full rules from [One job, start to finish](../new-way-of-working/one-job.md). The exercise at the end of this section uses a simpler set. ![One idea per slide. Left, in the doc: a paragraph says every invoice due in the next seven days is marked pay, hold or ask, with the rule from version 3 of the payment policy; invoices from a new supplier, invoices large enough to need a manager, and invoices with changed bank details are marked ask; and the total matches the checking program's total. An arrow points right to the slide, titled "Some invoices need your decision", with three short points: each invoice is pay, hold or ask; ask means a new supplier, a large invoice or new bank details; the total matches the checking program. At the foot: check every point on the slide against the doc it came from.](img/one-idea-per-slide.png) - **Check every number.** A slide shows a number big, without the working behind it. Check each one against where it came from. Do not round it: a rounded number can hide a mistake. - **One idea per slide.** If a slide needs a paragraph, that paragraph belongs in the doc. - **Practice once.** Click through it in full screen, as your audience will see it. ## In ChatGPT: Slides ChatGPT also has **Slides**. Its decks live in **Space**, ChatGPT's shared area for your work.[^openai-slides] 1. **Make one.** In the ChatGPT desktop app, open **Work** and ask ChatGPT to "create ChatGPT slides". Say the topic, the audience and the material to use. 2. **Change it.** Edit text, pictures and charts on the slide yourself, or ask ChatGPT. Teammates can work on it at the same time. 3. **Present or save it.** Present from ChatGPT. On the web, you can also export it to PowerPoint, PDF or Google Slides. ChatGPT Slides is rolling out to accounts that have Space, on the Pro, Business and Enterprise plans, so your account may not have it yet.[^openai-slides] **On a Windows computer,** check what you get. On Windows 10, and on some Windows 11 computers, the desktop app makes a PowerPoint file instead of a shared deck. If that happens, make the deck in ChatGPT on the web.[^openai-slides] > [!NOTE] > **Ask for "slides", not "a PowerPoint".** If you ask ChatGPT for a PowerPoint file, you get a file, not a deck you can keep working on.[^openai-slides] Also, anyone who can open a space can open the decks in it.[^openai-space-sharing] ## Combine it: build from a connected app You met connected apps in [Claude 2.0: conversations and artifacts](../tour/claude-conversations.md), which calls them connectors. While Claude builds a deck, it can read a connected app, such as a Google Drive folder of invoices. Anthropic's pages do not say whether a deck reads the app again later, so treat the deck as a **snapshot**: it shows what Claude read at that moment. It is not like the live artifacts in the overview's warning, which read an app each time they open. If someone changes the files in Drive later, assume the deck still shows the old numbers.[^claude-code-artifacts] So make the snapshot easy to see: > Read this week's invoices from my Invoices folder in Google Drive. Make a three-slide deck for the manager. On the first slide, write the date and time you read the folder. On the day you present, ask Claude to read the folder again and update the deck. Then check the numbers again. This needs Google Drive connected to Claude first, in Settings, under Connectors. **In ChatGPT:** ChatGPT reads your apps through **plugins**, as [ChatGPT 2.0](../tour/chatgpt.md) showed. Keep the same habit: before you present, ask for a fresh read and check the numbers. ## Try it (10 minutes, any plan) 1. Take the doc from the [Docs](docs.md) page, or any short report. 2. Ask Claude to turn it into a four-slide deck. 3. Fix one slide yourself. Ask Claude to turn one list into a chart. 4. Present it in full screen. Which slide would you cut? [^anthropic-artifacts]: As verified on November 11, 2026. In the presenter, F shows full screen and the arrow keys move between slides. What are artifacts and how do I use them?, Anthropic. [^anthropic-share]: As verified on November 11, 2026. Anthropic's pages differ on sharing from the Free plan, as the [Docs](docs.md) page notes. Share artifacts, Anthropic. [^claude-code-artifacts]: `/slides` needs Claude Code version 2.1.265 or later. Anthropic says Claude builds an artifact from what the session can reach, "including your codebase and data it pulls through your connected tools". It describes a page that pulls fresh data each time someone opens it as different from "a snapshot from the session that built it". That guide is about artifacts made in the Code tab. It does not describe Slides decks, so test it once with your own deck. Share session output as artifacts, Anthropic. [^openai-slides]: As verified on November 11, 2026, OpenAI says Slides "is available on ChatGPT Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans with Space access", and that it is still rolling out. It says that on Windows devices without a required component, slide creation in the desktop app uses PowerPoint (.pptx) files "instead of collaborative Slides", that Windows 10 does not support the component, and that you can use cloud mode or ChatGPT on the web instead. It describes export to PowerPoint, PDF and Google Slides on the web. Creating and collaborating on slides in ChatGPT, OpenAI. [^openai-space-sharing]: *(Reported.)* Removing one person's invitation to a deck does not stop them if they can still open its space. Collaborate in Space, OpenAI.
