In this YouTube monologue, Kevin Surace discusses the recent emergence of AI tools that generate and edit PowerPoint slide decks. He highlights NotebookLM's new slide deck capability and Anthropic's Claude Design, praising their ability to produce high‑quality, visually appealing slides that surpass what he could create even with 30 years of experience. Surace cites social media comments noting the speed and beauty of AI‑generated decks and the ease of editing them via natural‑language prompts. He reflects on the shift this technology enables: moving his focus from slide design to delivering the presentation, emphasizing that he never wanted to spend time designing slides in the first place.

Just recently, right? NotebookLM launched the slide deck capability. It's stunning. A week later, Claude launches Claude Design, which is not in the regular Claude. It's over here, Claude Design. And the whole core of Claude Design is to design PowerPoints and make them editable. And I am telling you, it's astoundingly good. It's not just a little good. Every slide is better than I could have made with, you know, 30 years experience of making slides. I saw a comment on X today that someone said, oh my God, I used Claude and it, you know, it made 30 slides for me and they're incredible and they're gorgeous and they're this and that. And if I want to edit one, I don't learn the editing tools. I just say in text, edit this and change these things, and it does. And someone else commented on X, fine, lose your mind. You obviously just want to be stupid and not do the work. And I'm thinking, that's not work I ever wanted to do. What I want to do is give the presentation, right? I want it to be my words. I want to give it my way. I don't want to design every slide. I never did.
