Create slides from text, notes, or an outline

Besides generating from a topic alone, Slides AI by DocGPT has an optional additional content field where you paste text the AI should use as source material — meeting notes, a blog post, a report outline. The generator then builds the deck from your content instead of writing everything from scratch.

How to use the additional content field

  1. Open your presentation and go to Extensions → AI GPT for Slides → Start.
  2. Enter a short topic that names the deck, for example “Weekly product sync — 12 July”.
  3. Paste your source text into the additional content field.
  4. Set the number of slides, tone, and language, then generate.

The topic still matters: it acts as the working title and tells the AI what the deck is for, while the pasted text supplies the substance.

What the AI does with your text

The generator restructures your source text into the standard deck layouts: a title slide, bullet-point content slides, and image + text slides. In practice that means it:

  • groups related points from your text onto the same slide,
  • condenses paragraphs into short bullet points,
  • orders the slides to follow the flow of your source material.

The output is a starting draft built from your content, not a verbatim copy — review it and adjust wording where precision matters. All slides are regular Google Slides objects, so editing is the same as in any deck.

Common sources

  • Meeting notes — paste the raw notes; ask for 6–8 slides to get a recap deck with decisions and action items grouped together.
  • Blog post or article — paste the full text; one slide per section is a reasonable slide-count estimate.
  • Report outline — paste the outline with its headings; the headings tend to become slide titles, so clean them up first.

Tips for clean source text

  • Remove noise first. Strip signatures, timestamps, and off-topic chatter from notes before pasting.
  • Use headings or blank lines to separate sections — structure in the input leads to better slide grouping.
  • Match slide count to content volume. A one-page outline does not fill 15 slides; a long report will not compress well into 5.
  • One document per deck. Pasting two unrelated documents produces a muddled deck; generate them separately.
  • Mind the language. If your source text and the selected output language differ, the AI generates in the output language — handy for producing, say, a Spanish deck from English notes. See Writing tones and languages.
