Beautiful.ai and Prezi are two of the biggest names in the presentation software space, but they cater to very different needs.

I spent time testing both platforms to understand how they compare in real-world use — and which one makes sense depending on your workflow.

But if you care more about live engagement and storytelling, Prezi offers a more dynamic format that traditional slide builders can’t match.

I’ve been there more times than I can count.

You’ve spent hours typing out a report, script, or proposal in Microsoft Word, and now it needs to become a PowerPoint presentation. The panic sets in: do you have to copy and paste everything one slide at a time?

There are smarter ways to convert a Word document into a PowerPoint deck. Some are built right into Microsoft 365.

Others use third-party tools or AI to make the process easier. In this post, I’ll walk you through every method I’ve used myself or tested with clients, from quick hacks to more polished workflows.

When I first started creating presentations, I thought getting the slides done was the hard part.

But when it came time to present, I realized I was either reading off the slides or struggling to remember what I wanted to say. That’s when I discovered the power of speaker notes.

Speaker notes act as your personal script. They guide you through each slide, help you stay on track, and make sure your key points come across.

But writing speaker notes manually for every slide is time-consuming. That’s why using AI to generate speaker notes has become a total game-changer.

In this post, I’ll walk you through everything I’ve learned about generating speaker notes for presentations using AI.

Whether you’re building a pitch deck, leading a webinar, or delivering a sales demo, this guide will show you how to save time, stay confident, and deliver presentations that land.

Slidesgo and Prezi are two popular presentation tools, but which one is right for your needs?

Whether you’re preparing a pitch deck, teaching a class, or leading a webinar, choosing the right presentation software makes a big difference in how your message lands.

After testing both platforms across a range of categories like templates, editing experience, AI tools, and pricing, here’s what I found.

Slidesgo is the better option if you want ready-made templates you can quickly edit in PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Canva. It’s perfect for users who want speed, polish, and ease.

Prezi, on the other hand, is ideal for dynamic, non-linear presentations. It’s designed to help you deliver more interactive content, especially with tools like Prezi Video and presentation analytics.

When I first started using PowerPoint, I assumed adding columns would be as easy as it is in Word. I was wrong.

PowerPoint doesn’t make it immediately obvious how to add columns, and if you’re someone who presents often, you know that clean formatting can make or break a slide.

Whether you’re working on a business presentation, a proposal, or a course slide deck, understanding how to use columns the right way can help you present content more clearly and efficiently.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through several ways to add and manage columns in PowerPoint.

I’ll cover when you should use columns, the different methods depending on your formatting needs, and mistakes to avoid if you want your presentation to look clean and professional.
