How to Create Slide Decks in Gemini (Compared to NotebookLM)

So, you need a high-quality slide deck, but you don't use NotebookLM or want the freedom to edit in Google Slides.

Gemini's Canvas feature is the answer. It's the only AI method that allows you to generate a professional deck from scratch using a simple prompt and then export it directly to Google Slides for full editing control.

The Gemini Slide Deck Blueprint:
Access Canvas: Go to the Gemini app (Gemini.Google.com), select your model (Thinking with 3 Pro is recommended), click on Tools, and select Canvas.
Prompt the Deck: Use a simple prompt, specifying your topic and desired length (e.g., "create a slide deck [topic] max slide count 15"). You can add detailed styling options (font, color, logo) to the prompt for higher quality.
Generate & Download: The generation process takes about five minutes. Once complete, you have two key export options: 1) PDF Download: A quick, non-editable version. or 2) Export to Google Slides: This is the key step. It converts the Gemini deck into an editable Google Slides presentation, allowing you to change fonts, images, and add speaker notes just like any other deck.

This process transforms hours of research and manual slide creation into a single, efficient workflow.
