99% of AI PPT Products Obsolete

Intro: The “Extinction Event” for AI PPT Tools
AI PPT tools are exploding — slide generation is now a core feature in most general-purpose Agent products. But most outputs are painful to look at, filled with cheap template vibes. NotebookLM’s integration of Nanobanana Pro visual generation directly outputs visually stunning, logically tight, and information-accurate PDFs. Combine that with WPS’s PDF-to-PPTX conversion, and a new free workflow is born.
I can confidently say: 99% of AI PPT products can be buried today.

Pain Points: Why Are Existing AI PPTs “Industrial Waste”?
- Hallucination hell:
Generic training data fill-in-the-blank, private documents never read, untrustworthy data.
- Template overload:
Cookie-cutter outputs, aesthetics stuck in the past.
- Edit nightmare:
Mostly images or locked layouts, high post-edit costs.
The root problem is “Text → Outline → Template” — knows layout rules but not content logic.

God-Tier Workflow: NotebookLM + WPS
Step 1
Feed the Brain (NotebookLM)
Throw PDFs, docs, notes, or recordings into NotebookLM. RAG-based, it “digests” your materials — all outputs are evidence-backed, no hallucinations.
Step 2
Visual Generation (Nanobanana Pro Capability)
Directly generates Visual Slides PDF: beautifully laid out, rich with graphics, non-templated. Auto-designs charts and layouts based on content, significantly elevated visual quality.
Step 3
Reverse Engineering (WPS PDF → PPTX)
Use WPS’s “PDF to PPT” to transform “dead” PDF into “live” PPTX: text boxes and shapes become editable, post-adjustments flow smoothly.
“Full workflow under 5 minutes: logically tight, visually premium, and fully editable.”

Why This Is a “Dimensional Strike”
1. Content Accuracy Dominance
Traditional AI PPT is “made up”; NotebookLM is “read out.” For high-accuracy scenarios (business plans, research reports, course materials), NotebookLM is the first choice.
2. Visual Aesthetic Leap
Nanobanana Pro understands composition, color, and whitespace — it generates design work; traditional generation is layout homework.
3. Zero Cost
NotebookLM is currently free, WPS basic features are free (or already paid). Compared to paid AI PPT tools, this delivers better results at lower cost.
Behind the scenes, NotebookLM’s RAG capability likely has a Gemini 3 Pro-powered agent built in, perfectly executing the complete workflow from content to visual output.
Let’s look at real examples:
First, a standard business style
Cyberpunk Night City style
This one got Anthropic’s logo wrong — turned it into OpenAI’s, but minor issue, doesn’t matter much
Conclusion: Future PPTs “Grow” Instead of Being “Made”
“Middleware” products that depend on capability gaps in foundation models will eventually be swallowed by capability improvements. PPT’s essence is visual presentation of information; when NotebookLM understands information and Nanobanana understands visuals, PPTs no longer need to be “made” — they naturally “grow” from your documents and thoughts.
Spend your time on what truly matters: thinking about the source content you want to express. Leave the rest to Google.
