Google recently introduced a useful new feature for its free interactive workspace "Canvas," built into its AI assistant Gemini. This new feature allows users to automatically generate presentation slides directly using AI, helping students and office workers quickly create presentation content. Launched in March of this year, Canvas was initially designed to allow users to easily paste longer text or code into Gemini for editing, debugging, or suggestions, while also visualizing project prompts for apps, web designs, and more. The addition of presentation generation further expands Canvas's application scenarios. Users can trigger presentation generation in two ways: • By directly entering a prompt: For example, entering "Create a presentation about a trip to the UK." • By uploading source files: If the presentation is based on specific content, users can upload documents, spreadsheets, or research papers, and then request Gemini to generate the presentation based on those files. Automatic Background and Image Application, Export to Google Slides Editing: Gemini-generated presentations not only include text content but also automatically apply background themes and add relevant images. Even more conveniently, after initial generation, users can directly export the entire presentation from the Gemini app to Google Slides. After exporting, users can then further edit, adjust formatting, add content, or share and collaborate with team members in Google Slides. Rollout to Personal and Workspace Accounts Starting Today: Google stated that this presentation generation feature will be rolled out to personal Google accounts and Google Workspace (enterprise/education) accounts starting today.
