Short answer
Turning a blog post into a presentation is a condensing job, not a writing job β the thinking is already done. Slides by DocGPT.ai is built for exactly this: alongside the topic, it accepts your own text as source content, so you paste the full article, choose the number of slides, the tone, and the language (40+ supported), and the AI restructures your post into a deck. The output is a native, fully editable Google Slides presentation β title slide, bullet slides, image+text layouts β so the polish pass happens in the tool your team already uses, and export to PowerPoint or PDF is one File β Download away.
The path: install the add-on β Extensions β AI GPT for Slides β Start β name the deck β paste the post β generate β tighten. Free plan: 10 AI presentations a month, no credit card; paid from $14.99/mo β see pricing.
Slides by DocGPT.ai is part of the DocGPT.ai suite used by 500,000+ users.
How it works
- Install the add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace.
- Open the generator in any Google Slides file: Extensions β AI GPT for Slides β Start.
- Name the deck, e.g. βWebinar: How we cut onboarding time in halfβ β a topic that describes the talk, not just the post.
- Paste the full blog post into the source-content field, optionally with instructions on how to map sections to slides (see the worked example below).
- Set slide count, tone, and language. Twelve slides suit a 20β30 minute webinar; pick a tone that matches how you present, which can be punchier than how you write.
- Generate and polish. Rearrange slides, cut what does not work out loud, add screenshots and a speaker-notes pass β all natively in Google Slides.
The docs cover this mode in detail: create slides from your own text, plus create a presentation from a topic when you want a deck without a source article.
Worked example: a 12-slide webinar deck from one post
Settings to use in the add-on:
- Slides: 12
- Tone: conversational and confident
- Language: English (or any of 40+)
- Topic:
Webinar deck based on our blog post: "How we cut customer onboarding time in half"
Paste this into the source-content field, with your real article at the bottom:
Turn the article below into a 12-slide webinar deck:
- Slide 1: title + speaker name.
- Slides 2β3: the problem the post opens with β why onboarding
drags, and what it costs.
- Slides 4β9: one key point per slide; use my subheadings as the
slide titles and keep my terminology.
- Slide 10: the checklist from the end of the post, as a single
summary slide.
- Slide 11: key takeaways β three bullets.
- Slide 12: call to action β invite questions and point to the
newsletter.

Because the deck is generated from your pasted text, the slides inherit your terminology, your examples, and your argument order β the AIβs job is compression, not invention. The human pass afterwards is quick: a written checklist often needs splitting differently on a slide, a joke that works in prose may need cutting, and the CTA slide should match the specific webinar.
Where this fits in a repurposing pipeline
One good article can feed a month of formats, and the deck is usually the highest-leverage one:
- Webinar deck β the worked example above; the postβs structure becomes the talk track.
- Conference or meetup talk β regenerate the same post at 15β20 slides with a more formal tone.
- Internal enablement β a how-to post becomes the training deck for the team that has to do the thing.
- Sales leave-behind β export the deck as PDF via Google Slides and attach it to follow-up emails.
If you run repurposing at scale, the spreadsheet side of the DocGPT.ai suite pairs well with this: the content repurposing template for GPT for Sheets turns one post into platform-specific social copy across rows, while Slides by DocGPT.ai handles the deck format here.
What to expect β and what to fix by hand
The AI condenses your article faithfully, but slides and prose are different media, and the draft will show it: a paragraphβs nuance becomes a blunt bullet, transitions that carried the written argument disappear, and anything time-sensitive in the post (pricing, screenshots, stats) ports over unverified. Plan a 15β30 minute polish pass β reorder for spoken flow, rebuild one or two dense slides, refresh dated facts β before the deck goes in front of an audience. That is still a fraction of the half day it takes to build a webinar deck from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I turn a blog post into a presentation?
Install Slides by DocGPT.ai, open Extensions β AI GPT for Slides β Start in Google Slides, enter a topic for the deck, and paste the full blog post into the source-content field. Set the slide count, tone, and language, then generate. The article is restructured into an editable Google Slides deck.
Will the slides use my original wording?
The deck is generated from the text you paste, so it keeps your terminology, examples, and argument order β the AI condenses rather than invents. Expect to polish by hand: bullets compress nuance, and spoken flow sometimes needs a different slide order than written flow.
Can I export the presentation as PowerPoint or PDF?
Yes. The output is a native Google Slides presentation, so you export it from Google Slides itself with File β Download as PPTX or PDF β or present and share it directly in Slides.
