16.1 Overview

Pitch Deck is AIUNIFY PROS SUITE's AI-powered presentation workspace for creating, refining, saving, reviewing, and presenting professional slide decks.

The opening interface identifies the feature as:

AI Presentation & PowerPoint Builder

and explains:

“Describe your startup, product, market, or pitch idea. Our AI instantly generates a complete, professional PowerPoint deck.”

The current Pitch Deck system supports:

  1. Natural-language presentation creation
  2. An AI-generated 8-slide deck structure
  3. Saved Presentation Projects
  4. Design Chat for deck-wide modifications
  5. Targeted AI editing of selected slide text
  6. Image references during Design Chat
  7. Slide thumbnails
  8. Previous/Next navigation
  9. Keyboard slide navigation
  10. Auto-Play
  11. Fullscreen presentation mode
  12. Grid overview
  13. Saved-deck Edit
  14. Saved-deck Play
  15. AI Model selection through the shared PROS SUITE Model system
  16. PowerPoint .pptx export

This chapter focuses on creating, editing, saving, and presenting the deck inside PROS SUITE.

Chapter 17 will cover PowerPoint export in detail.

16.2 Where Pitch Deck Is Located

Navigate to:

Sidebar → Core Tools → Pitch Deck

The Pitch Deck page is protected by PROS SUITE authentication and feature access.

If your account is not signed in, PROS SUITE redirects you toward Login.

16.3 Pitch Deck Uses a Specialized Workspace

Pitch Deck does not use the Standard AI Generator workspace from Chapter 12.

Instead, it has two major areas:

Pitch Deck Start Page

Used for:

  1. Entering a presentation brief
  2. Choosing a preset
  3. Viewing saved presentations

Presentation Playground

Used for:

  1. Generating slides
  2. Reviewing slides
  3. Editing with AI
  4. Presenting
  5. Saving
  6. Exporting

The presentation-building workspace is reached through:

/ppt-playground

and has its own feature-access protection.

16.4 Starting the Pitch Deck Workspace

The opening page displays:

Bring your presentation to reality.

Below it is the primary presentation Prompt.

Use this area to describe the presentation you want AIUNIFY to create.

16.5 Presentation Prompt

The Prompt field currently displays:

“Describe your presentation topic or pitch deck outline (e.g. Fintech seed deck raising $2M)...”

Your initial instructions become the foundation for the generated deck.

16.6 What to Include in the Presentation Brief

For stronger results, provide the AI with information such as:

  1. Presentation purpose
  2. Audience
  3. Company/product/topic
  4. Problem being addressed
  5. Proposed solution
  6. Market opportunity
  7. Business model
  8. Evidence/traction
  9. Team or roadmap
  10. Desired call-to-action
  11. Important metrics
  12. Visual direction
  13. Any specific information that must appear

The current generator always organizes the initial AI deck into its source-defined 8-slide structure, so providing strong source information helps those slides become more relevant.

16.7 Example — Weak Prompt

A broad request such as:

Make a pitch deck for my company.

provides very little information.

The AI can still create a deck, but it may need to rely heavily on generic assumptions or fallback presentation structure.

16.8 Example — Stronger Prompt

A more useful request could be:

Create an investor pitch deck for a B2B SaaS platform serving large insurance and real estate sales organizations. We provide an integrated suite of AI-powered sales, marketing, communications, CRM, analytics and automation systems. Focus on fragmented software as the problem, centralized agentic business software as the solution, recurring subscription revenue, enterprise sales teams as the target market, competitive differentiation, go-to-market strategy, growth milestones and a strategic investment opportunity.

This gives Pitch Deck much more material to work with.

16.9 The Current Generator Creates Exactly 8 Slides

The presentation system currently instructs the AI to generate:

EXACTLY 8 presentation slides.

This is a key current-version behavior.

The initial generator is not a free-form slide-count builder.

16.10 Asking for 10 or 20 Slides Does Not Change the Current Initial Generator

Even if your Prompt requests:

Create a 10-slide deck

the current generation system instructs the AI to return:

exactly 8 slides.

Therefore, the current user manual treats:

8 slides

as the verified initial-deck format.

16.11 Important Preset Mismatch

One current preset is labeled:

B2B SaaS Series A Deck

and its Prompt asks for a:

10-slide pitch deck.

However, the actual Presentation Generator still enforces exactly 8 slides.

Therefore:

The preset text should not be interpreted as changing the current generator's verified eight-slide architecture.

16.12 Current 8-Slide Structure

The source-defined deck architecture is:

  1. Title
  2. Problem
  3. Solution
  4. Market
  5. Business Model / Strategy
  6. Traction / Performance
  7. Team / Roadmap
  8. Ask / Summary / Call to Action


The actual titles and content are intended to be tailored to your Prompt.

16.13 Slide 1 — Title

The Title slide can contain:

  1. Badge
  2. Main presentation title
  3. Subtitle/value proposition
  4. Optional image
  5. Optional background
  6. Key metrics

The default type is:

title.

16.14 Slide 2 — Problem

The second slide is designed around:

Problem & Market Pain Points

using cards for the primary challenges.

16.15 Slide 3 — Solution

The third slide presents:

Core Solution & Key Innovations

using solution points relevant to the presentation topic.

16.16 Slide 4 — Market

The Market slide is designed for information such as:

  1. Market size
  2. Adoption
  3. TAM
  4. SAM
  5. Growth rates
  6. Industry opportunity


16.17 Slide 5 — Business Model / Strategy

The fifth slide is built around a structured set of tiers or phases.

Its source structure supports:

  1. Tier Name
  2. Tier value/price descriptor
  3. Feature list
  4. Highlighted/popular tier


16.18 Slide 6 — Traction / Performance

The sixth slide uses performance-style metrics.

The current format supports multiple:

  1. Values
  2. Labels
  3. Performance indicators


16.19 Slide 7 — Team / Roadmap

The seventh slide supports roadmap, milestones, leadership, or team capabilities through structured cards.

16.20 Slide 8 — Ask / Next Steps

The final slide is designed around:

Summary & Call to Action

with key takeaway points and next steps.

16.21 The Structure Is Used Beyond Traditional Investor Decks

Although several field names are pitch-oriented, the system can generate decks for broader topics.

The current generic fallback generator converts a custom Prompt into the same eight-part architecture while adapting slide titles to the requested subject.

Therefore Pitch Deck can also be used for:

  1. Business presentations
  2. Product presentations
  3. Strategy presentations
  4. Technology overviews
  5. Market presentations
  6. Educational topics
  7. Internal executive presentations

while still using the current eight-slide structural model.

16.22 Preset Presentations

Under the initial Prompt, the current interface displays:

Try one preset →

The source currently defines four presets.

16.23 Fintech Seed Pitch Deck

Preset:

Fintech Seed Pitch Deck

The preset requests a seed-stage fintech deck raising $2M with problem, market, product, business model, traction, team, and ask.

16.24 TechStartup Landing & Deck

Preset:

TechStartup Landing & Deck

The source Prompt focuses on an AI web-builder platform, interactive playground, pricing, and growth metrics.

16.25 B2B SaaS Series A Deck

Preset:

B2B SaaS Series A Deck

Its Prompt emphasizes:

  1. $50K MRR
  2. Enterprise security
  3. ARR growth
  4. Competitive matrix
  5. Expansion roadmap


Again, despite the preset requesting ten slides, the current generator itself is hard-wired around eight.

16.26 Product Launch Showcase

Preset:

Product Launch Showcase

Its Prompt focuses on:

  1. Features
  2. Customer testimonials
  3. Competitive advantages
  4. Launch pricing


16.27 Selecting a Preset

Selecting a Pitch Deck preset immediately routes you into the Presentation Playground with the preset Prompt.

Unlike the Website Builder preset chips, the current Pitch Deck preset does not merely place its text in the visible starting Prompt for editing first.

It starts the Presentation Playground using that preset Prompt.

16.28 Starting from Your Own Prompt

For a custom deck:

  1. Enter your presentation description.
  2. Review the request.
  3. Select the circular Send/Generate control.
  4. Pitch Deck opens the Presentation Playground.
  5. The AI generation workflow begins.


16.29 Initial Keyboard Shortcut

The Pitch Deck start Prompt currently uses:

Shift + Enter

to launch generation.

Therefore:

Shift + Enter → Generate Deck

on the initial Pitch Deck screen.

You can also use the visible Send control.

16.30 Generate Control Availability

The initial Send control is disabled when:

  1. The Prompt is empty
  2. And no image is attached


16.31 16:9 Presentation Indicator

The initial creation panel displays:

16:9 Presentation.

The current source does not attach an action to that control.

Therefore, it should be understood as an indication of the presentation format rather than a user-selectable aspect-ratio menu.

16.32 Current Presentation Format

The slide stage and Fullscreen presentation use a widescreen aspect-video layout, and the deck itself displays:

16:9 Widescreen Layout

as part of its presentation design.

The current user interface does not establish a 4:3 presentation option.

16.33 Initial Reference Image Control

The Pitch Deck start screen contains:

Attach Image

and accepts:

image/*.

After selection, a thumbnail preview appears and can be removed with the X control.

16.34 Important Current-Version Limitation — Initial Attached Image

The current Pitch Deck start screen stores the selected image in browser storage under an internal initial-image value before opening the Presentation Playground.

However, across the supplied source bundle, that value is only written on the start page; the PresentationDeck source does not contain a corresponding read of it.

Therefore:

The current source does not verify that an image attached on the initial Pitch Deck start screen is actually applied to the first deck generation.

This manual will not promise functionality that the source does not establish.

16.35 Images During Design Chat Are Different

Once inside the Presentation Playground, the shared Design Chat can pass an attached image into an editing message, and the Presentation editing flow preserves that image with the message context.

Therefore:

Design Chat image references during editing are source-verified.

The initial start-page image handoff is not.

16.36 Initial Generation Token Cost

The current Presentation Playground requests a deduction of:

500 PROS SUITE Tokens

before generating a new deck.

If the Token deduction fails, the generation stops.

16.37 Initial Deck vs. Later Editing Cost

Current verified behavior is:

Initial 8-Slide Generation

500 Tokens

Subsequent Design Chat Edit

10 Tokens

As with Website Builder, it is more Token-efficient to refine a good existing project than repeatedly generate complete new decks for small changes.

16.38 Check Monthly Tokens Before Starting

Before creating a new presentation:

  1. Review Monthly Tokens.
  2. Confirm at least the currently required initial balance.
  3. Prepare the presentation brief.
  4. Generate only when the requirements are sufficiently complete.

16.39 Token Deduction Happens Before AI Generation

The Presentation workflow deducts the required Tokens before beginning the AI slide generation.

Therefore, do not repeatedly start new decks casually if your actual goal is only to revise an existing presentation.

16.40 Selected AI Model

The Presentation Playground uses the current shared:

selectedModel

from your PROS SUITE account.

The selected Model is passed into both initial slide generation and subsequent edits.

16.41 Choose the Model Before Starting When Necessary

If you want to use a particular available AI Model:

  1. Choose it from the PROS SUITE Header.
  2. Return to Pitch Deck.
  3. Enter your presentation brief.
  4. Generate.

If the Model requires a provider API Key, follow Chapters 10 and 11.

16.42 What Happens During Initial Generation

When the initial deck is generated, Pitch Deck:

  1. Deducts the current 500-Token requirement.
  2. Records the Prompt as a user Design Chat message.
  3. Sets the deck to Slide 1.
  4. Creates eight loading slide placeholders.
  5. Sends the presentation request to the selected AI Model.
  6. Streams returned slide data.
  7. Replaces loading slides progressively as usable slide content arrives.
  8. Completes the deck.
  9. Adds the AI response to Design Chat.


16.43 Loading Slides

During generation, the eight placeholders can display:

⏳ GENERATING...

and:

Creating Slide [number] with AI...

The full slide renderer also displays:

AI is generating Slide [number]...

16.44 Slides Can Appear Progressively

As valid slide objects arrive from the AI stream, Pitch Deck merges them into the eight-slide deck rather than waiting for the entire response to complete.

This means you may see individual slides become complete while later slides are still generating.

16.45 Successful AI Generation

When usable slides are returned, Pitch Deck can display:

Successfully generated [number] presentation slides!

16.46 AI Generation Fallback

If the AI completely fails to return usable slide content, the current Presentation Builder loads pre-built topic-tailored template slides instead.

It displays:

Using pre-built template slides for this topic.

This helps avoid leaving the user with an empty deck.

16.47 Important Token Note About Fallback

The current source deducts the initial 500 Tokens before attempting generation and later uses fallback slides when AI generation completely fails.

The supplied user-facing source does not establish an automatic Token refund for this fallback condition.

Therefore, this manual does not promise one.

16.48 Presentation Playground Layout

The editor contains three major working areas:

Left

Slides ([number]) thumbnail panel

Center

Current slide stage

Right

Design Chat


A Bottom Toolbar provides presentation controls.

16.49 Slides Panel

The left panel is labeled:

Slides ([total]).

For the normal initial deck, this is expected to show eight slides.

16.50 Slide Thumbnails

Each slide has a miniature Preview inside the left panel.

Selecting a thumbnail makes that slide the current active slide.

16.51 Active Slide

The current thumbnail is visually highlighted.

The active slide also automatically scrolls into view in the thumbnail panel when slide navigation changes.

16.52 Collapsing the Slides Panel

The Slides panel contains a control titled:

Collapse Slide Panel.

Use it when you want more room for the center presentation stage.

16.53 Reopening the Slides Panel

When collapsed, a:

Slides

button appears at the upper-left of the workspace.

Select it to reopen the thumbnail list.

16.54 Main Slide Stage

The center area displays the currently selected slide.

Its rendering responds to slide information such as:

  1. Slide type
  2. Title
  3. Subtitle
  4. Metrics
  5. Cards
  6. Points
  7. Tiers
  8. Images
  9. Background gradients
  10. Background colors
  11. Layout selection


16.55 Slide Designs Can Vary

The current renderer calculates multiple design variants for slides rather than displaying every deck in precisely the same layout.

The source supports three layout variants for the underlying slide structures.

16.56 Image Layouts

When a slide contains an image, supported presentation layouts include:

  1. image-left
  2. image-right
  3. image-full
  4. centered
  5. default

The AI is allowed to select these presentation-layout fields.

16.57 Background Styling

The AI can also generate:

  1. Background gradients
  2. Background colors

for individual slides.

These options allow individual slides to have stronger visual differentiation.

16.58 Design Chat

The right side uses the same shared AI Design Chat system used by the Website Builder.

When slides already exist, a new Design Chat request is passed to the presentation editing workflow.

16.59 Creating from an Empty Presentation Playground

If you enter the Presentation Playground directly with no project and no initial Prompt, the main stage displays:

Create a Presentation

with:

“Type a topic below or use the Design Chat on the right to generate a beautiful 8-slide presentation with AI.”

A Design Chat message in this empty state invokes the full initial-generation workflow.

16.60 Empty-Deck Generation Still Uses the Initial Generation Cost

When no slides exist, Design Chat routes the request to the same streamGenerateSlides process.

Therefore, generating from a blank Presentation Playground uses the current verified:

500-Token initial generation.

16.61 Editing an Existing Presentation with Design Chat

Once slides exist, send instructions such as:

Make the market slide more investor-focused.

Change the presentation tone to enterprise and strategic.

Update Slide 5 to explain our subscription business model.

Replace the traction metrics with these actual numbers: ...

Make Slide 8 a stronger investment call to action.

The system tells the AI to update only the relevant slide or slides and keep the rest unchanged.

16.62 Deck-Wide AI Editing Uses Existing Slide Data

For a presentation modification, the AI receives the current Presentation data and the requested change.

This allows the AI to work from the deck you already created instead of blindly generating a completely unrelated presentation.

16.63 Existing Design Chat Context Is Also Included

When performing a general deck modification, previous Design Chat messages are included in the edit request.

This allows follow-up instructions such as:

Keep the new market slide, but make its title shorter.

16.64 General AI Editing Cost

Each current Design Chat edit request deducts:

10 Tokens before continuing.

16.65 Failed Edit Token Check

If the 10-Token deduction cannot be completed:

  1. The recently added user Chat message is removed.
  2. Generation stops.
  3. The editing request does not proceed.


16.66 Successful General Update

When the AI returns usable updated slide information, Pitch Deck displays:

Successfully updated presentation!

16.67 The AI Is Told Not to Rewrite Unrelated Slides

The current editing instructions specifically state that slides not mentioned by the user should be preserved rather than regenerated.

This is designed to reduce unintended deck-wide changes.

16.68 Use Specific Slide References

When requesting a change, phrases such as:

On Slide 4...

or:

Change the Market slide...

or:

Update the final Call to Action slide...

help make your intended scope clear.

16.69 Design Chat Image References

The current Design Chat editing message can include:

  1. Text
  2. An attached image
  3. Selected-element information


This allows an image to be used as reference context during later presentation editing.

16.70 Example — Reference Image Edit

You could attach an image and request:

Use this as the visual direction for the title slide. Keep the existing wording but adjust the presentation colors and layout to feel closer to this reference.

The attached image is preserved in the AI editing message context.

16.71 Visual Edits

Pitch Deck supports:

Visual edits

through the shared Design Chat control.

Unlike Website Builder's Visual edits, Pitch Deck does not expose a separate panel of direct font-size, padding, border, and color controls.

Instead, Presentation Visual edits are designed primarily for selecting text on a slide and then asking AI to modify that selected field.

16.72 Turning On Visual Edits

Enable:

Visual edits

from Design Chat.

When active, moving over selectable text in the current slide highlights it with a dashed outline.

16.73 Selecting Slide Text

Click a text element on the current slide.

Pitch Deck:

  1. Highlights the selected element.
  2. Reads the visible text.
  3. Finds the matching field in the current slide data when possible.
  4. Identifies it with a user-friendly field name.


16.74 Examples of Selectable Content

Depending on the slide, selectable text can include:

  1. Title
  2. Subtitle
  3. Badge
  4. Metric value
  5. Metric label
  6. Card title
  7. Card description
  8. Tier value
  9. Bullet point

Pitch Deck attempts to identify the selected field from the underlying slide data.

16.75 Targeted AI Editing

When Pitch Deck recognizes a specific selected field, the next Design Chat request becomes a focused edit for that single field.

This is useful when you want to avoid altering the rest of the slide.

16.76 Example — Edit Only a Slide Title

  1. Turn on Visual edits.
  2. Click the Title on Slide 1.
  3. Enter:
  4. Make this title shorter and more disruptive.
  5. Send the request.
  6. Pitch Deck asks the AI for a replacement value only for that selected field.

16.77 Successful Targeted Edit

When the replacement value is received, Pitch Deck updates the selected field and displays:

Updated [field name] on Slide [number].

16.78 Targeted Edits Also Cost 10 Tokens

Targeted field edits pass through the same SendChatMessage Token-deduction workflow.

Therefore, the current verified cost is:

10 Tokens per targeted AI editing request.

16.79 Styling Selected Text Through AI

The targeted AI editor can apply requested formatting by returning styled text.

The current AI instructions allow changes such as:

  1. Text color
  2. Bold
  3. Italic

through inline formatting.

16.80 Example — Targeted Styling

Select a title and ask:

Make this text bold and blue.

The presentation editor is designed to apply the formatting to the selected value rather than rebuilding the entire slide.

16.81 No Direct Manual Text Typing on the Slide

The current slide stage does not establish a click-and-type document-editor experience.

There is no source-verified direct manual text field that appears when you double-click a title.

Use:

  1. Design Chat
  2. Targeted Visual edits

to change slide content.

16.82 No Direct Typography Toolbar

Unlike Website Builder, the current Pitch Deck source does not expose a manual toolbar for:

  1. Font family
  2. Font size
  3. Font weight
  4. Alignment
  5. Padding
  6. Margin
  7. Border

for selected presentation elements.

Styling changes are requested through AI.

16.83 No Add Slide Control

The current PresentationDeck does not establish a user-facing:

Add Slide

button.

The verified initial architecture is generated as eight slides.

16.84 No Delete Slide Control

The current presentation editor likewise does not establish a user-facing:

Delete Slide

control.

16.85 No Drag-and-Drop Slide Reordering

The current source does not establish:

  1. Drag handles
  2. Reorder Slide
  3. Move Slide Up/Down

for the slide thumbnails.

The initial slide order follows the generated eight-slide architecture.

16.86 Navigating with Slide Thumbnails

The simplest way to jump directly to a slide is:

  1. Open the Slides panel.
  2. Locate the desired thumbnail.
  3. Select it.
  4. The central stage updates to that slide.


16.87 Prev and Next

The Bottom Toolbar provides:

  1. Prev
  2. Next


Use them to move sequentially through the presentation.

16.88 Slide Counter

The Bottom Toolbar displays:

Slide [current] of [total].

This helps you keep track of your position in the deck.

16.89 Keyboard Navigation

Pitch Deck supports:

Right Arrow

Next Slide

Space

Next Slide

Left Arrow

Previous Slide


16.90 Escape Key

The current keyboard listener uses:

Escape

to close the Slide Grid when it is open.

Browser Fullscreen mode can also normally be exited through the browser's Fullscreen behavior, and the Presentation interface explicitly provides Exit (Esc) while Fullscreen is active.

16.91 Auto-Play

The Bottom Toolbar provides:

Auto-Play.

Select it to automatically advance the deck.

16.92 Auto-Play Timing

The current Auto-Play interval advances to the next slide every:

5 seconds.

16.93 Pause

When Auto-Play is active, the button changes to:

Pause.

Select Pause to stop automatic advancement.

16.94 Auto-Play Wraps Around

The current Next Slide function uses circular navigation.

After the final slide, advancing again returns to the first slide.

This also applies to Auto-Play.

16.95 Previous Slide Also Wraps

When you are on the first slide and navigate backward, the current navigation logic wraps to the final slide.

16.96 Slide Grid

The Bottom Toolbar contains the Grid icon with:

Slide Grid View.

Select it to open the deck overview.

16.97 8-Slide Overview Grid

The Grid is titled:

8-Slide Overview Grid.

It displays all current presentation slides in a multi-column visual layout.

16.98 Selecting a Slide from the Grid

Each Grid slide displays:

  1. Slide title
  2. Subtitle or badge
  3. Slide number

Selecting one:

  1. Makes it the current slide.
  2. Closes the Grid.
  3. Returns you to the presentation workspace.


16.99 Fullscreen Presentation Mode

The Bottom Toolbar contains:

Toggle Fullscreen.

Select it to enter Presentation Mode.

16.100 Fullscreen Presentation Mode

Fullscreen removes the normal editing layout and focuses on the active presentation slide.

The top status displays:

Presentation Mode — Slide [current] of [total].

16.101 Fullscreen Navigation

Fullscreen mode provides:

  1. Previous Slide
  2. Current slide indicator
  3. Next Slide
  4. Auto-Play/Pause


16.102 Exiting Fullscreen

Fullscreen contains:

Exit (Esc).

You can use the interface control to leave Presentation Mode.

16.103 Play from Saved Presentations

The Pitch Deck home page lists saved decks under:

Your Saved Presentations

with the description:

“Click to edit or present your saved decks”.

Each saved presentation provides both:

  1. Edit
  2. Play


16.104 What Play Does

Selecting Play opens the saved Presentation Project with:

play=true

and the editor initializes Auto-Play in its active state.

16.105 Play Attempts Fullscreen Automatically

When a saved deck is opened through Play, Pitch Deck attempts to enter Fullscreen after the presentation workspace mounts.

Browser security rules can prevent automatic Fullscreen in some circumstances.

If Fullscreen does not start automatically, use the Toggle Fullscreen control manually.

16.106 Play Mode Also Auto-Advances

Because play=true initializes the presentation in Playing state, slides automatically advance using the current five-second Auto-Play timer.

16.107 Saved Presentations

The Pitch Deck home page contains:

Your Saved Presentations.

Previously saved decks are loaded there automatically.

16.108 Saved Presentation Cards

A saved Presentation card can display:

  1. First-slide miniature Preview
  2. Number of slides
  3. Presentation Name
  4. Updated date
  5. Edit
  6. Play
  7. Delete control


16.109 First-Slide Preview

When slide data exists, the saved Presentation card uses Slide 1 to create a miniature deck Preview.

This helps visually identify presentations.

16.110 Slide Count

The saved Presentation card displays:

[number] Slides.

For a normal current initial deck, this should reflect eight slides.

16.111 Updated Date

Each saved presentation card displays:

Updated [date].

16.112 Edit Saved Presentation

Select:

Edit

to reopen a saved presentation inside the Presentation Playground.

16.113 What a Saved Presentation Restores

When an existing Presentation Project is loaded, Pitch Deck restores:

  1. Saved slides
  2. Saved Design Chat messages


This lets you continue working from your previous presentation state.

16.114 Saving a Presentation

The Bottom Toolbar contains:

Save Presentation.

Select it after important edits.

16.115 Save Is Disabled When No Slides Exist

The current Save button is unavailable when:

  1. The presentation contains zero slides
  2. Or a Save operation is already running


16.116 Saving State

During the operation, the button changes to:

Saving....

16.117 Successful Save

After a successful operation, Pitch Deck displays:

Presentation saved successfully!

16.118 First Save Creates a Presentation Project

If the deck does not already have a Project ID, the first successful Save can create the Presentation Project and update the current URL with its Project ID.

Subsequent saves can then update the same Project.

16.119 What Save Persists

The Save request contains:

  1. Project ID, when one already exists
  2. Presentation Name
  3. Slide data
  4. Design Chat messages


16.120 How Presentation Names Are Determined

The current Save workflow derives the Presentation Name from:

Slide 1's Title.

Any inline formatting is stripped before the Title is used as the saved Project Name.

16.121 Default Presentation Name

If Slide 1 does not contain a Title, the Save workflow falls back to:

Untitled Presentation.

16.122 Changing the Saved Presentation Name

The current source does not provide a separate:

Rename Presentation

field.

However, because the save operation uses the current first-slide Title as the Presentation Name, modifying Slide 1's Title and then saving is the current source-supported way the stored presentation Name can change.

16.123 Save After Major Edits

Recommended Save points include:

  1. After the initial generated deck looks useful
  2. After replacing major information
  3. After changing Slide 1/title
  4. After significant Design Chat modifications
  5. Before experimenting with major presentation changes
  6. Before leaving the editor
  7. Before exporting to PowerPoint

16.124 No Saved Presentations Yet

When no Presentation Projects exist, the start page displays:

No saved presentations yet.

and:

“Generate one using the prompt box above and save it to see it listed here!”

16.125 Deleting a Saved Presentation

Each saved Presentation card contains a Delete control titled:

Delete Presentation.

Selecting it opens a confirmation dialog.

16.126 Delete Presentation Confirmation

The dialog states:

Delete Presentation

and:

“Are you sure you want to delete this presentation? This action cannot be undone.”

16.127 Successful Deletion

If deletion succeeds, Pitch Deck displays:

Presentation deleted successfully.

The saved Presentation list is then refreshed.

16.128 Delete Errors

If deletion fails, Pitch Deck can display:

Failed to delete presentation

or:

Error deleting presentation.

Do not assume the deck is gone if you receive an error.

16.129 Delete Is Permanent in the Current Interface

The current source does not establish:

  1. Presentation Trash
  2. Restore
  3. Undo Delete
  4. Recycle Bin

The Delete confirmation explicitly warns that the action cannot be undone.

Preserve important decks before deletion.

16.130 No Duplicate Presentation Control

The saved Presentation cards expose:

  1. Edit
  2. Play
  3. Delete

but no source-verified:

Duplicate

function.

16.131 No Presentation Folders

The current Saved Presentations area does not establish:

  1. Folders
  2. Categories
  3. Tags
  4. Workspace grouping

Presentations are displayed directly as saved deck cards.

16.132 No Manual Slide Reordering

The current user-facing source does not provide a slide reorder control.

If a different narrative order is important, use Design Chat to request a revised presentation structure, recognizing that the current initial deck architecture remains eight slides.

16.133 No Independent Add/Delete Slide Controls

The current PresentationDeck does not establish user-facing controls to add or delete individual slides manually.

The deck is managed primarily as the source-defined presentation structure.

16.134 Review AI-Generated Metrics Carefully

The Pitch Deck generator can create:

  1. Market sizes
  2. Growth percentages
  3. Performance metrics
  4. Traction figures
  5. Adoption statistics

The fallback structures themselves contain illustrative example metrics.

Therefore:

Do not assume an AI-generated metric is a verified business fact.

Replace invented or placeholder figures with actual verified company or market data before presenting externally.

16.135 Important Investor-Deck Best Practice

For investor or financial presentations, supply actual numbers where possible.

For example:

Instead of:

Show strong traction.

use:

Traction: 127 paying customers, $48,200 MRR, 7.4% monthly growth and 91% gross retention as of July 2026.

This reduces the AI's need to invent placeholders.

16.136 Review Market Data

When Pitch Deck creates TAM, growth rates, or industry adoption figures, verify them against authoritative sources before using the presentation externally.

The AI generator itself is not a substitute for sourced market research.

16.137 Review Team Information

If you did not provide real team information, do not assume automatically generated leadership or roadmap content accurately represents your organization.

Edit Slide 7 with your actual information before presenting.

16.138 Review the Ask

For an investor deck, Slide 8 should clearly state the real request.

For example:

  1. Capital amount
  2. Strategic partnership
  3. Pilot
  4. Contract
  5. Demo
  6. Follow-up meeting

Replace generic AI language with your actual intended next action.

16.139 Review Every Slide Before Export

Before exporting or presenting:

  1. Review all eight thumbnails.
  2. Open every slide.
  3. Check titles.
  4. Check metrics.
  5. Check names.
  6. Check market claims.
  7. Check spelling.
  8. Check images.
  9. Check the final Call to Action.
  10. Save.

16.140 Using Grid for Final Review

The 8-Slide Overview Grid is particularly useful for reviewing:

  1. Overall deck flow
  2. Title consistency
  3. Repetition
  4. Visual balance
  5. Slide sequence

before entering Presentation Mode.

16.141 Using Fullscreen for Final Review

After content review:

  1. Enter Fullscreen.
  2. Navigate from Slide 1 through Slide 8.
  3. Read each slide as your audience will.
  4. Check readability.
  5. Test Auto-Play if relevant.
  6. Exit Fullscreen.
  7. Make any final edits.
  8. Save.

16.142 Editing During Review

If you spot a problem:

  1. Exit Fullscreen if necessary.
  2. Select the slide.
  3. Use Design Chat or Visual edits.
  4. Make the correction.
  5. Review it.
  6. Save again.

16.143 Best Practice — Start with Real Information

Before generating, gather:

  1. Company description
  2. Problem statement
  3. Solution
  4. Customer data
  5. Pricing/business model
  6. Market research
  7. Revenue/traction
  8. Team information
  9. Funding or call-to-action

A presentation built from real information requires fewer corrective edits.

16.144 Best Practice — Tell the AI Who the Audience Is

Specify whether the presentation is for:

  1. Investors
  2. Customers
  3. Enterprise buyers
  4. Strategic partners
  5. Employees
  6. Board members
  7. Sales teams

The audience should influence both content and tone.

16.145 Best Practice — Tell the AI the Desired Outcome

A deck designed to:

Raise capital

should not read the same as one designed to:

Sell software

or:

Train employees.

Include the intended outcome in your Prompt.

16.146 Best Practice — Use Specific Design Instructions

You can request styles such as:

Use a bold enterprise technology aesthetic with clean dark backgrounds, strong white typography and subtle blue gradients.

or:

Use a minimal light presentation with spacious typography and simple executive charts.

The slide system supports background colors, gradients, images, and layout information that the AI can adjust.

16.147 Best Practice — Use Targeted Edits for Small Changes

If only one metric is wrong:

Do not request a complete deck rewrite.

Select the field or identify the slide and request the specific correction.

This protects the rest of the presentation and uses the current lower-cost edit workflow.

16.148 Best Practice — Save Before Large AI Changes

Before asking:

Redesign the whole presentation to be completely different

save the current version first.

Because the current interface does not establish presentation version history, preserving the current saved state is particularly important.

16.149 Best Practice — Preserve Important Versions Externally

Once a deck reaches an important milestone, PowerPoint export can provide an external copy.

Chapter 17 will explain that workflow.

This is useful because the current editor does not expose a formal revision-history system.

16.150 Best Practice — Do Not Delete Before Exporting Important Work

If a Presentation Project is no longer needed inside PROS SUITE but may still have business value:

  1. Open it.
  2. Review it.
  3. Save final changes.
  4. Export it if needed.
  5. Only then consider Delete Presentation.

16.151 Troubleshooting — Generate Control Is Disabled

On the initial Pitch Deck screen, the Send control requires:

  1. Prompt text
  2. or an attached image

before it becomes available.

Because initial attached-image consumption is not verified in the current source, a written Prompt remains the recommended input.

16.152 Troubleshooting — Attached Initial Image Did Not Affect the Deck

The current source writes the initial image into browser storage but does not show PresentationDeck reading that value.

Therefore, this can reflect the current implementation rather than user error.

If visual-reference editing is needed, use an image through Design Chat after the deck has been generated.

16.153 Troubleshooting — Requested 10 Slides but Received 8

This is expected in the current version.

The Presentation AI system explicitly requires:

EXACTLY 8 slides.

16.154 Troubleshooting — Insufficient Tokens

If generation cannot begin:

  1. Check Monthly Tokens.
  2. Remember the current initial generation requirement is 500 Tokens.
  3. Review your Plan if necessary.
  4. Retry only when sufficient Tokens are available.

16.155 Troubleshooting — Edit Cannot Proceed

Current Design Chat edits require:

10 Tokens.

If the Token deduction fails, the edit is canceled.

16.156 Troubleshooting — AI Failed but Slides Appeared Anyway

The current system can fall back to pre-built topic slides when the live AI generation completely fails.

In this condition it displays:

Using pre-built template slides for this topic.

Review the resulting content carefully because fallback slides may be more generic.

16.157 Troubleshooting — Deck Content Is Too Generic

Improve the Prompt with:

  1. Company-specific facts
  2. Real market
  3. Target buyer
  4. Real metrics
  5. Product differentiation
  6. Desired action

Then use Design Chat to update only the slides that need improvement rather than starting over automatically.

16.158 Troubleshooting — Wrong Slide Changed

Use a more specific editing request.

For example:

Change only Slide 4 Market Opportunity. Do not modify any other slide.

The editing system is already instructed to preserve unrelated slides, but explicit user scope makes the intention clearer.

16.159 Troubleshooting — Cannot Directly Type into Slide Text

The current Presentation editor is not a direct PowerPoint-like text-box editor.

Use:

Visual edits → Select Text → Ask AI

or:

Design Chat → Describe Change

16.160 Troubleshooting — Cannot Find Add Slide

The current PresentationDeck does not establish an Add Slide control.

The current generated presentation structure is eight slides.

16.161 Troubleshooting — Cannot Drag Slides into a New Order

Drag-and-drop reordering is not established in the current source.

Use the verified eight-slide narrative flow and request content changes through Design Chat.

16.162 Troubleshooting — Saved Deck Is Missing

Check:

  1. Did you select Save Presentation?
  2. Did you receive:
  3. Presentation saved successfully!
  4. Return to Pitch Deck.
  5. Check Your Saved Presentations.

The initial generated deck is not the same thing as a confirmed saved Presentation Project.

16.163 Troubleshooting — Presentation Will Not Load

When a saved project cannot be retrieved, Pitch Deck can display:

Failed to load presentation project

or:

Error loading presentation project.

Do not start deleting other projects in response.

Retry the correct saved project or use the appropriate support process if the problem persists.

16.164 Troubleshooting — Save Fails

Pitch Deck can display:

Failed to save presentation

or:

Error saving presentation.

Do not leave the workspace assuming your latest edits were saved.

16.165 Troubleshooting — Auto-Play Advances Too Quickly or Slowly

The current Auto-Play timing is fixed at:

5 seconds per slide.

The supplied user interface does not establish a timing-speed control.

Use manual Prev/Next navigation when you need presentation timing under your direct control.

16.166 Troubleshooting — Play Does Not Enter Fullscreen

The Play workflow attempts Fullscreen programmatically, but browser security can reject automated Fullscreen requests.

If the deck opens without Fullscreen:

  1. Locate Toggle Fullscreen.
  2. Select it manually.

Auto-Play may still be active.

16.167 Troubleshooting — Slides Keep Advancing

Auto-Play is active.

Select:

Pause.

16.168 Troubleshooting — Spacebar Changes the Slide

This is expected.

The current keyboard navigation assigns:

Space → Next Slide.

16.169 Troubleshooting — Grid Will Not Stay Open After Selecting a Slide

This is expected.

Selecting a slide from the Grid:

  1. Activates that slide
  2. Closes the Grid
