You know, there's nothing more intimidating than starting a PowerPoint presentation from scratch
0:05
So I have to come up with a presentation about the role of AI in education
0:10
Fortunately, I can use a website like ChatGPT. So this sometimes is helpful, but as you can see, it's really just giving me an outline
0:19
of a presentation. Even if it gave me the exact text for the presentation, I'd have to copy and paste each
0:24
item into the slide and of course, I'd still have to set my theme or design it
0:30
So instead, I'm going to go to the website dektopus.com and I am going to paste the same
0:36
prompt that I used in ChatGPT. Now I just have to answer who my audience is, a few more questions to help refine my
0:50
prompt and I just have to select the link. So I'll just say a 10 minute presentation
0:56
From here, I can choose one of the suggested templates. Let me go ahead and choose formal and in just a few minutes, hopefully I should have a presentation
1:06
ready to share. Okay, here it is. That presentation has been automatically created
1:12
It really only took about 30 seconds to generate this presentation. I'm going to thumb through some of the slides to give you an idea of what you'll see
1:31
Now what I like about Dektopus is that it actually creates the whole presentation, not
1:36
just an outline like ChatGPT generated. Now of course, in Dektopus, after it generates the presentation, you do have the complete
1:44
ability to change anything that you see. So if I want to go and change the title of this presentation, I just have to select it
1:52
and I can go in and modify any of this. There's also a way that I can change an image either by uploading it or by using AI to suggest
2:02
a description prompt. If I need to add slides, I can do that as well
2:07
And there's even an option for me to edit the actual design
2:11
Now once my presentation is finished, there are a few different ways that I can present
2:16
this information. Number one, I can hit the play button and I can present it directly from the Dektopus.com
2:24
website, very similar to any online based presentation, whether it's PowerPoint online
2:29
or Google Slides. Now if I do want to present in Dektopus, there's even a way that I can add notes for my presentation
2:36
and it's going to be possible at some point to generate my own notes for the presentation
2:40
using AI. Now, another thing I can do is share it as a link
2:44
So if I select share, there's an option to share a public link, which will allow anyone
2:50
who has that link the ability to move through and navigate through my presentation
2:55
There's also a way that I can embed this onto a website
3:01
One method that I really like is this option. I can download it either as a PDF or even as a PowerPoint file
3:07
So if I wanted to design this in Dektopus, I can then download that as a PowerPoint file
3:13
open it in PowerPoint and further refine it. So now you're probably wondering about cost
3:19
Dektopus is a paid website, although you can try it for free, just like I did in this demonstration
3:27
As you're looking at the screen, you'll see that it's about $10 per month
3:31
And of course you'll save more if you purchase for the entire year
3:35
So thank you so much for watching this video on Dektopus. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comment area below
