MagicSlides
Google Slides add-on and web app that turns text URLs PDFs or YouTube links into structured presentations with templates collaboration and an API for automation.
Overview
MagicSlides accelerates deck creation for educators, teams, and freelancers by converting briefs and source links into slides inside Google Slides or via its web UI. You paste text, a URL, a PDF, or a YouTube link, then choose theme and length; the service drafts titled slides with bullets, images, and speaker notes. Premium plans lift caps and add bulk edits, brand templates, and exports; developers get an API priced per presentation for programmatic generation.
The add-on supports 100+ languages, helpful for localization and global classrooms. Teams use it to spin up lesson plans, pitch outlines, workshop materials, and report summaries in minutes, then refine content with the AI agent. Pricing varies by tier, with public trackers listing entry monthly subscriptions for individuals and a separate API meter after 100 free presentations.
