What is ChatGPT Slides and who can use it?

ChatGPT Slides is OpenAI's presentation editor inside ChatGPT's Space workspace. It began rolling out on October 16, 2026 to eligible ChatGPT Pro, Business and Enterprise users with Space access, on the web and in the desktop app. You create a deck by chatting in ChatGPT Work or from files, an outline or an example deck, edit text, images, shapes and charts directly or by prompt, co-edit with teammates in real time with comments, present from ChatGPT, and export to PowerPoint, PDF or Google Slides on the web.

ChatGPT Slides vs Gamma: which is better for presentations?

As of October 18, 2026, ChatGPT Slides is the better pick if your team already pays for ChatGPT Business or Pro and the deck is built from material already in ChatGPT, because it costs nothing extra and keeps decks under Space sharing rules. Gamma is the better pick for design-led decks, web-style presentations, custom domains, analytics and API generation, and it is cheaper to start: a free plan with 400 credits, then Plus at EUR 8 and Pro at EUR 18 per seat per month billed annually (prices shown on Gamma's pricing page in euros).

Is there a cheaper way to make slides with ChatGPT?

Yes. The official ChatGPT for PowerPoint add-in works on every ChatGPT plan, with limited usage on Free and Go and your plan's normal limits on Plus, Pro and Business. It edits a PowerPoint file you already own rather than keeping the deck inside ChatGPT.

Quick Answer

The short answer

ChatGPT Slides if your company already pays for ChatGPT Business or Pro; Gamma if the deck’s design and sharing matter most or you are paying per person; Claude if you want a finished, editable deck file from research in one conversation; Microsoft 365 Copilot if the deck must live in PowerPoint inside a Microsoft tenant. As of October 18, 2026:

ChatGPT Slides

OpenAI’s release notes describe the flow: start from a conversation in ChatGPT Work, uploaded files or an outline, optionally give an example deck for style, then edit text, images, shapes and charts by hand or by asking. Teammates can edit the same deck at the same time and comment. A Slides deck uses the same access settings as the Space and pages around it, so it stays inside ChatGPT until someone exports it — useful for governance, a limitation if your company standard is PowerPoint files on SharePoint.

It is not on Free, Go or Plus. If you are on those plans, the ChatGPT for PowerPoint add-in is the route: it drafts and revises slides inside a PowerPoint file you already have.

Gamma

Gamma is still the specialist. Its Free plan gives 400 credits at sign-up and up to 10 slides per prompt; Plus removes Gamma branding and allows 100 slides per prompt with 1,000 monthly credits; Pro adds premium image models, custom branding, analytics, up to 10 custom domains and API access with 4,000 monthly credits; Ultra gives 20,000 credits. Credits roll over up to double the plan size. Pick it for sales decks, pitch decks and anything published as a link.

Claude

Since Claude’s chat and Cowork merged into one experience (September 2026), a single conversation can research, write and hand back a presentation as a finished, editable file. Best when the slides are the last step of an analysis. Details in Claude Docs & Slides vs Gemini Workspace vs 365 Copilot.

Microsoft 365 Copilot

The default inside Microsoft tenants: Copilot in PowerPoint builds decks from Word documents, email and files it can reach through Work IQ, under the organisation’s existing compliance rules.
