Context is everything. Now you can add additional context along with your prompt for personalized results—relevant to your story.

Enter a prompt for your slide or presentation, then upload a supporting text document, add a URL, or enter text from any source. Our AI will generate content in response to your prompt, using your added context as source material. If you choose not to add a prompt, we'll create slides based on your uploaded content. The beautiful part? Because they are built on Smart Slides, your generated slides will adapt automatically as you work.

While in beta, Pro users have unlimited access to this feature for free.

Also new! Dynamic page numbers for our PowerPoint integrations. Export editable slides—or add Beautiful.ai slides directly in PowerPoint using our add-in—and your page numbers will now update automatically as you reorder your slides.

Horizontal bar charts are easy to read and allow for longer category labels. Best for times when the order of categories isn't necessarily sequential, like survey results or demographics. As with all of our charts, you can easily import data, adjust settings and even switch between chart types. Use color and highlight points to call attention where it's needed—or add a text tray to your slide to summarize the takeaways for your audience. Your chart will automatically resize to accommodate the additional text.

We've also added the option to adjust bar width and spacing for this and our column chart.
