Best ChatGPT plugins for presentations (November 2026): top 10 scored on whole decks from the chat, editable PowerPoint and free use

Disclosure: NOXI publishes this page and is one of the tools scored. That's why the rules, weights and the source of every cell are printed, along with where NOXI loses points.

ChatGPT now has a directory of plugins that make presentations, while many "best GPTs for presentations" lists describe products about to retire. A plugin is worth installing only if the chat can build the whole deck, change it by follow-up message and hand you an editable PowerPoint. This page scores ten plugins on exactly that.

Key numbers

The user count is OpenAI's own statement; the plan facts are each vendor's own pages, opened on 27 October 2026.

The top 10 ChatGPT plugins for presentations (November 2026)

NOXI scores highest on these six rules with 96 of 100, followed by Canva at 84 and Presentations.AI at 82. "(v)" in the scoring table marks a cell that rests on a cautious reading; its alternative total is in the sensitivity list.

Just outside the ten: Pitch 74, Beautiful.ai 72 and Genspark AI Slides 70. ChatGPT's own Slides feature scores 76 on the same rules as a built-in reference row; it is not a plugin, so it sits outside the numbering.

How we scored: rubric C, official pages only

Each plugin is rated 1 to 5 on six criteria; points = rating ÷ 5 × weight. Rubric C is new: it starts from the P1, P3 and P6 anchors of our AI presentation tools ranking and adds three criteria about the ChatGPT route itself.

Three printed rules that decide the table

• C1 is a directory-wide fact. ChatGPT's pricing page marks "Discover & use Plugins" on Free, Go, Plus and Pro, and OpenAI says "The plugin directory is available across ChatGPT plans." No listing states a plan requirement, so every listed plugin gets 5; per-plugin limits by plan, workspace, role and region apply to every row alike.
• Scope. Custom GPTs are not scored (they retire on 11 December 2026). ChatGPT Slides is built in, so it is a reference row outside the numbering.
• Selection. Every presentation maker returned by a signed-out directory search for "presentation" that has official help or pricing pages; Templafy, Pretty, Presenton and Julius were not scored. On 27 October 2026 we searched each of the 13 names in ChatGPT's Plugin Directory in a fresh, signed-out browser and opened every listing: all 13 are public, each with an Install plugin button.

Scoring table: every cell and its arithmetic

Every rating, then the arithmetic as Σ (rating × weight) ÷ 5. A 1 means "not documented on the pages we opened on 27 October 2026", not "can't".

*ChatGPT Slides is built in, not a plugin; C1 4 is the nearest anchor, because it needs a paid plan (Pro, Business or Enterprise).

Ties: Gamma and Figma both total 81 and are level on C1 to C3; Gamma scores 5 on C4 against Figma's 4, so Gamma is 4th and Figma 5th. Decktopus and SlidesGPT have identical cells and share 6th place.

Where the gaps come from

• NOXI − Canva = 12: C3 +8 (an editable .pptx with no badge against Canva's note that a PPTX "may look different"), C6 +4 (research documented for the route against none). C1, C2, C4 and C5 are level. Check: 8 + 4 = 12 = 96 − 84. Canva ties NOXI on four of six rules.
• Canva − Presentations.AI = 2: C3 −4, C4 +3 (chat edits and Canva's editor), C5 +3 (a stated monthly allowance against a one-time 200-credit pool). Check: −4 + 3 + 3 = 2.
• Gamma = Figma = 81: Gamma gains 3 on C4 (chat edits plus its editor), Figma gains 3 on C5 (PowerPoint export ticked on the free Starter plan against Gamma's badged exports). Check: 3 − 3 = 0.

How sensitive the order is

Every reading that could move a total, as printed in the shared score file:

• NOXI 100 if NOXI's source lines on slides with figures count for decks made through the plugin (C6 5); NOXI 98 if the example prompt on noxi.ai/connect asking for a deck "with sources" is read as cited research (C6 4).
• NOXI 92 if "a topic, a brief or an outline" is read as prompt-only (C2 4). NOXI 92 if the plugin turned out to need a paid ChatGPT plan (C1 4); nothing on the listing or OpenAI's pages says so.
• Canva 88 if Canva AI's web research in its editor counts (C6 3); Canva 78 if the pricing page's export row (PDF, JPG, PNG) is read as the full Free list (C5 3).
• Presentations.AI 86 if "up-to-date research pulled in as you generate" counts (C6 3). Gamma 87 if its editor agent's ability to search the web and pull in citations counts after you save the gamma (C6 4).
• Figma 77 if "limited support … using file uploads like images or PDFs" is not read as making a deck from a file (C2 4); 74 with that and C5 4; 84 if the listing's "create and edit" is read as in-chat editing (C4 5).
• Decktopus 75 if its export article were not counted (C3 3); it would still sit above SlideSpeak on C2. We re-read it on 27 October: "A fully editable file", with export on Pro and Business.
• Prezi 82 if Prezi states that its PPTX keeps editable text (C3 4).
• Plus AI 64, out of the ten, with Pitch back in 10th place, if its directory listing were not public (C1 2: custom MCP only); we opened the listing signed out on 27 October 2026, so 76 stands. Plus AI 79 if its PowerPoint add-in counts as its "full editor" (C4 5).
• Pitch 78 if "fills in variables from your data" counts as content you give in the chat (C2 5; variables need a plan that includes them).
• Beautiful.ai 75 if its listing is preferred over its support article on in-chat editing (C4 5); 78 if its Enterprise-only online sources count (C6 4).
• Genspark 66 if its web export's editability is not counted (C3 3); 79 if opening the result in its editor is assumed (C4 4); 78 if its verification marks apply to decks made in ChatGPT (C6 5).
• ChatGPT Slides 72 if ChatGPT Work's "ask for its source" is not counted for Slides (C6 1).

Plugins or apps? What OpenAI changed on 9 July 2026

They are the same family under a new name: on 9 July 2026 OpenAI's release notes said "We're also replacing the App Directory with the Plugin Directory", and chatgpt.com/apps now opens chatgpt.com/plugins. In OpenAI's current help, "An app connects ChatGPT to a service", and "A plugin brings apps and skills together".

So a presentation plugin usually bundles one app (the connection to the vendor's account) and skills (instructions for ChatGPT). Older tutorials say connectors or "Apps & Connectors"; the menus now say Plugins. Lists from 2023 and 2024 that rank "plugins" or "GPTs" for presentations describe custom GPTs and an earlier generation of tools.

The route opened in stages. OpenAI introduced apps in ChatGPT on 6 October 2025 for Free, Go, Plus and Pro users "outside of the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom", with Canva and Figma among the first apps. The app directory followed on 18 December 2025, Gamma's app went live on 6 March 2026, the Plugin Directory replaced the App Directory on 9 July 2026, Prezi announced its plugin on 9 October 2026, and ChatGPT Slides launched on 16 October 2026.

For the general mechanics of plugins, connectors and MCP across assistants, our guide to Claude connectors, ChatGPT plugins and MCP covers the protocol underneath.

Which ChatGPT plugins make a PowerPoint for free?

On the vendors' own pages, four of the ten give you a PowerPoint file from a free plan: NOXI (editable, no watermark), Presentations.AI (Starter), Canva (Canva Free; the PPTX may look different) and Figma (Starter; gradients become solid fills). Gamma's free export carries a badge; the other five need a paid plan to download.

ChatGPT plugins for students: the Free-plan reality

A student on ChatGPT Free can install any plugin in the directory, but the vendor's own free plan decides what comes back, as the table shows. Check how the allowance works too: Canva and NOXI reset monthly, while Gamma's 400 credits and SlideSpeak's 100 are one-time pools.

How to add and use a plugin in ChatGPT

To add a plugin, open Plugins in the ChatGPT sidebar, find the plugin, select Install plugin and, if it needs your account, Connect. In any chat you then mention it with @ or pick it from the + menu. OpenAI's help, checked on 27 October 2026, describes each step.

• Find and install. "Go to Plugins on the sidebar on ChatGPT web, desktop, or mobile"; "Select Install plugin if shown"; then "select Connect for an app that requires account authorization".
• Use it. "select a plugin directly with an @ mention, select + and enter its name"; ChatGPT may also use installed plugins "when they're relevant", and "may ask for approval before reading information or completing an action".
• Manage it. "Open Settings > Plugins, and select the app or the plugin that includes it."

Why can't I see a plugin in ChatGPT?

OpenAI says each plugin "depends on your plan, workspace, role, region". Apps launched on 6 October 2025 "outside of the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom", Figma's post limits its app to users "outside the EU", and we found no OpenAI page that lifts that limit. In Enterprise and Edu workspaces admins choose the plugins, and OpenAI notes that some apps "may be available only on desktop, web, or mobile." Our guide to making a PowerPoint in ChatGPT compares all six routes by plan.

NOXI (96): our pick for an editable PowerPoint from the chat

NOXI scores highest on these six rules with 96 of 100: full marks on five criteria and 3 on research with sources. It is our pick when the deck must come back from the chat as an editable PowerPoint, in English or right-to-left Arabic, at no cost.

Canva (84): visual designs on Canva Free

Canva scores 84, second of ten, and ties NOXI on four of six rules: it lives in the directory, builds a deck from a PDF or a prompt, edits by chat and in Canva's editor, and runs on Canva Free. It loses points on the PowerPoint file and on research for this route.

Canva Pro is US$144 a year for one person, as canva.com/pricing showed to a US visitor on 27 October 2026. If the deck will be finished in PowerPoint, our guide to converting Canva to PowerPoint covers what changes in the file.

Presentations.AI (82) and Gamma (81): an editable file or Gamma's editor

Presentations.AI scores 82 on a free editable PowerPoint, and Gamma 81 on chat edits plus its own editor: the first hands back a better file on its $0 plan, the second keeps you editing in Gamma.

Gamma Plus is $9 a seat a month, or $108 a seat billed annually; Pro is $18, or $216 billed annually.

Figma (81), Decktopus (79) and SlidesGPT (79): designers, conversations and downloads

Figma scores 81 because its plugin works on any Figma plan and Starter exports to PowerPoint; Decktopus and SlidesGPT tie at 79 with an editable file on paid plans and preview-only free use.

Prezi (78), Plus AI (76) and SlideSpeak (75): formats, add-ins and prompt decks

Prezi scores 78 with full marks on editing, Plus AI 76 on in-place edits behind a paid plan, and SlideSpeak 75 with a prompt-only route and an editable .pptx on Premium.

Pitch (74), Beautiful.ai (72) and Genspark (70): just outside the ten

Three more presentation makers have plugins in the directory and score within five points of tenth place.

• Pitch, 74. Install it from the directory (Pitch Help); "Every deck created with Pitch's MCP is fully editable". PowerPoint export is "a premium feature" where charts "may look different", and Free's 100 AI credits do not renew. 78 if filling template variables from your data counts as content.
• Beautiful.ai, 72. Its support says the ChatGPT connector "does not provide full arbitrary slide-by-slide editing"; export is "available only on Pro, Team, and Enterprise", and "A free trial requires a credit card".
• Genspark AI Slides, 70. "The exported files are fully editable", but "Exporting any format, requires a paid plan"; no edit route is documented for its ChatGPT plugin, which is the 1 on C4.

ChatGPT Slides vs a plugin: the built-in reference row

ChatGPT Slides scores 76 on the same rules, level with Plus AI, but it is not a plugin and it needs a paid plan: OpenAI says it is "available on ChatGPT Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans with Space access", and it is rolling out. A plugin works on ChatGPT Free and draws on the vendor's own free plan instead.

Slides launched on 16 October 2026. You can start from a conversation or "attach source files", edit an element with "select the element, then select Request edits", and on the web export to PowerPoint, PDF or Google Slides (OpenAI Help, ChatGPT Slides). On ChatGPT's pricing page, ChatGPT Space is not included on Free, Go or Plus; Plus costs $20 a month and Pro starts at $100. If you already pay for Pro, Business or Enterprise, try Slides first; on Free, Go or Plus, a plugin is the route to a full deck.

Is there a ChatGPT plugin for PowerPoint?

There are two directions, and searchers mix them up. A presentation plugin lives inside ChatGPT and hands back a deck or a file. ChatGPT for PowerPoint is the reverse: an add-in by OpenAI that runs inside PowerPoint and edits the open file, and OpenAI says "Free and Go include limited usage access" (OpenAI Help, ChatGPT for PowerPoint). Add-ins that work inside PowerPoint are ranked in our top 10 AI add-ins for PowerPoint.

Best GPT for presentations? Why this page scores no custom GPTs

No custom GPT is scored here because OpenAI says "Custom GPTs are scheduled to retire on Dec 11, 2026" (OpenAI Help, custom GPT retirement). A presentation GPT you adopt in November would stop working about six weeks later.

Several vendors that offered a presentation GPT now also have a plugin in the directory, so the same brand remains available under the new route: SlideSpeak, Beautiful.ai and SlidesGPT are examples. When a list recommends "the best GPT for presentations", check the vendor's own site for a plugin in ChatGPT's Plugin Directory, and use that instead.

What these rules don't measure

These six rules measure what each vendor documents for the ChatGPT route, not how good the deck looks or how fast it arrives, and several competitors lead on things the rubric leaves out.

• Canva and Gamma: design range and templates, and the wider editors you continue in after the chat.
• Brand kits and team review: brand controls and review workflows inside each vendor's own editor are not scored.
• Prezi: its zooming, non-linear presentation format.
• Pitch: presentation analytics.
• Genspark: verification marks with reference links on each checked slide, inside its own editor.
• Plus AI: add-ins that work inside the real PowerPoint and Google Slides files on one subscription.
• Region and devices: availability in the EU, the UK and Switzerland (OpenAI launched apps outside those markets; Figma says its app is for users outside the EU), and how each plugin's card behaves on desktop, web or mobile, NOXI's included.
• Not measured for anyone: output quality, design taste, speed, invented figures, accessibility, and comments or review workflows.

Worked example: one consultant, eight decks a month, two plugins

To turn the table into a decision, list what the decks must do, read each candidate's free-plan row, then price the alternatives for a year.

Step 1: read the three checks against the table

Canva passes the first two checks on Canva Free, but its PPTX "may look different" in PowerPoint, so it fails the third for client decks; its 20 AI uses a month are pooled across Canva's tools. Gamma passes the first two, but free exports carry the badge and the 400 credits don't refresh. ChatGPT Slides is not on Plus. The NOXI plugin passes all three on the documented cells.

Step 2: price the alternatives for a year

Leila's decision: the NOXI plugin for the 8 client decks, and the Canva plugin on Canva Free for her 6 social one-pagers, where a Canva design is the right output. Against paying for Canva Pro and Gamma Plus, she spends $144 + $108 = $252 a year less; against upgrading to Pro for Slides, $960 a year less. Her ChatGPT bill stays $240 a year. She reviews the setup on 1 February 2027, after the custom GPT retirement date.

The same method works for any team: replace her three checks with yours. For the wording of the request itself, see our ChatGPT prompts for presentations.

Here are three slides from the deck NOXI built for this article's worked example, unedited.

Key terms

Build it: make Leila's client deck with the NOXI plugin in ChatGPT

To make a NOXI deck inside ChatGPT, open Plugins in the sidebar, search for NOXI, select Install plugin, then Connect and sign in to NOXI, and ask @NOXI for the deck in any chat. Installing depends on your ChatGPT plan, workspace, role and region, in OpenAI's words.

Prefer an assistant other than ChatGPT, or a coding tool? The same decks can be made through NOXI's MCP server, compared with nine others in our top 10 MCP servers for PowerPoint.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best ChatGPT plugin for presentations?

On six documented rules checked on 27 October 2026, NOXI scores highest with 96 of 100, followed by Canva at 84, Presentations.AI at 82, and Gamma and Figma at 81. The rules count the whole deck from the chat, an editable PowerPoint, editing, the free plan and research, not design taste.

Is there a ChatGPT plugin for PowerPoint?

Yes, in two directions. Plugins such as NOXI, Presentations.AI, SlidesGPT and SlideSpeak live inside ChatGPT and return a .pptx file on the plan each vendor states. ChatGPT for PowerPoint is the reverse: an OpenAI add-in that runs inside PowerPoint and edits the open file, with limited usage on Free and Go.

Can ChatGPT plugins make a PowerPoint for free?

Some can. On the vendors' own pages, NOXI and Presentations.AI document an editable PowerPoint on a free plan, Canva Free and Figma Starter export a PPTX with documented differences, and Gamma's free file carries a badge. Decktopus, SlidesGPT, Prezi, Plus AI and SlideSpeak need a paid plan to download.

How do I use Canva in ChatGPT?

Open Plugins in the ChatGPT sidebar, find Canva, select Install plugin and connect your Canva account; Canva says it works for all accounts, including Canva Free. Then type @Canva and ask, for example, to turn an uploaded PDF into a presentation, and open the result in Canva to keep editing.

Does Gamma work inside ChatGPT?

Yes. Gamma's changelog dates its ChatGPT app to 6 March 2026, and Gamma says it is available as an app inside ChatGPT on all plans. Decks made in ChatGPT are tied to an anonymous session until you save them to a Gamma account, and free exports carry a "Made by Gamma" badge.

Are ChatGPT apps and plugins the same thing?

Almost. In OpenAI's words, an app connects ChatGPT to a service, and a plugin brings apps and skills together. On 9 July 2026 OpenAI replaced the App Directory with the Plugin Directory, so menus now say Plugins, while many guides and searchers still say apps or connectors.

Are custom GPTs going away?

Yes. OpenAI's help says custom GPTs are scheduled to retire on 11 December 2026, so a presentation GPT adopted now would stop working within weeks. Several presentation vendors that offered a GPT, such as SlideSpeak and Beautiful.ai, now have a plugin in ChatGPT's Plugin Directory; use that route instead.

Why can't I see a plugin in ChatGPT?

OpenAI says each plugin depends on your plan, workspace, role and region. Apps launched in October 2025 outside the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, and Figma says its app is for users outside the EU. In Enterprise and Edu workspaces, admins choose which plugins members can install.

Does ChatGPT Slides need a paid plan?

Yes. OpenAI says Slides is available on ChatGPT Pro, Business and Enterprise plans with Space access, and it launched on 16 October 2026 while rolling out. ChatGPT Plus is $20 a month and Pro starts at $100. On Free, Go and Plus, a presentation plugin is the route to a full deck.

How do I use NOXI in ChatGPT?

Open Plugins in the ChatGPT sidebar, search for NOXI, select Install plugin, then Connect and sign in to NOXI. In any chat, type @NOXI or choose it from the + menu and describe the deck. Previews and PowerPoint, PDF and HTML files come back in the chat, using your free NOXI credits.
