Which AI Can Make a PowerPoint? 12 AI Chatbots Scored on 7 Rules (November 2026)

Disclosure: NOXI publishes this page and appears in it as a reference row, scored on the same rules as every chatbot. That's why the rules, weights and the source of every cell are printed, along with the rules where chatbots lead NOXI.

Every chatbot can talk about slides now. Fewer hand you a PowerPoint file you can open and change, and that depends on your plan. We opened each assistant's own help, pricing and announcement pages on 29 October 2026 and scored twelve on seven printed rules.

Which AI can make a PowerPoint? 12 chatbots ranked (November 2026)

ChatGPT leads the twelve with 90 points, two ahead of Kimi (88) and three ahead of Claude (87); Copilot in PowerPoint (83) and Grok (82) complete the top five, each documenting a whole deck and an editable PowerPoint route. The bottom four, Meta AI, Z.ai, Qwen and DeepSeek, document no editable .pptx at all.

NOXI sits outside the numbering because it is a dedicated deck maker, not a chat assistant; it is printed because people use it through two of these chatbots. Two agents built mainly for slides, Genspark (89) and Manus (75), are scored on the same rules in our ranking of AI agents for slides.

Who should pick what

Where you already work matters more than the total. Each line rests on one fact from the vendor's own page, checked on 29 October 2026.

• If you already work in PowerPoint on Microsoft 365 → Copilot in PowerPoint, because Microsoft says it "generates or edits content directly within PowerPoint", including your Brand Kit.
• If you want a free deck you can export as PowerPoint → Claude, because Anthropic lists Slides on the Free plan and decks "export to PowerPoint and PDF, or go straight to Google Slides".
• If you need the sources printed on the slides → Kimi, because its slides page promises "on-slide citations you can trace"; it is the only one of the twelve with full marks for research with sources.
• If you live in ChatGPT → the ChatGPT for PowerPoint add-in, because OpenAI makes it available to every plan from Free (with limited usage) and says it keeps an "editable slide structure".
• If your team works in Google Slides → the Gemini app, because Google ticks "Slide generation" without a paid plan and Canvas exports straight to Slides.
• If your chatbot is DeepSeek, Qwen or Meta AI → add a deck maker such as NOXI, inside ChatGPT as a plugin or Claude as a custom connector, because its reference row takes full marks for an editable .pptx on a free plan with no watermark.

Key numbers

User counts are each company's own statements; dates and prices are from vendors' pages opened on 29 October 2026.

How we scored: seven rules, official pages only

Each chatbot is rated 1 to 5 on the seven criteria of rubric P and points = rating ÷ 5 × weight. We re-applied the rules of our AI presentation tools ranking on 29 October 2026; the numbers on this page are this page's own.

Four readings, applied to every row

• Editing the native file counts as an export. A vendor's own PowerPoint add-in or Google Slides add-on earns P1 5 (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Grok). Unstated editability is P1 3 (Mistral Vibe); a free plan silent on a badge is P1 4 (Kimi, Gemini app).
• The free plan must make a deck. A free chatbot with no documented deck feature gets P6 1 (DeepSeek, Qwen), and so does a plan page that marks slides or file creation unavailable on Free (Mistral Vibe, Perplexity).
• Citations in the chat are not citations on slides. Where a vendor places citations in the chat, the answer or a pre-build plan, P3 is 3 (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Mistral Vibe).
• Any connector counts on P7. MCP, an API, connected apps or a ChatGPT plugin count the same. In-app menus are not official pages, for any vendor.

Scope. General AI chat assistants people already use, plus Kimi and Z.ai, whose chat apps have slide modes. NOXI is a deck maker, so it is a reference row outside the numbering.

Scoring table: every cell and its arithmetic

Every rating, then the arithmetic as Σ (rating × weight) ÷ 5. "(v)" marks a cell that rests on a cautious reading; its alternative total is in the sensitivity list below. A 1 means "not documented on the pages we opened on 29 October 2026", not "can't".

Tie: the Gemini app and Mistral Vibe both total 66. The printed tie-break looks at P1 first, where the Gemini app scores 4 against Mistral's 3, so the Gemini app is 7th and Mistral Vibe 8th.

Where the gaps come from

• ChatGPT − Kimi = 2: P1 +4, P5 +2, P7 +2, P3 −6. Check: 4 + 2 + 2 − 6 = 2.
• Kimi − Claude = 1: P1 −4, P3 +6, P4 +3, P5 −2, P7 −2. Check: −4 + 6 + 3 − 2 − 2 = 1.
• Claude − Copilot = 4: all from P6, Claude's Free plan (4) against Microsoft's one-month trial (2).
• Copilot − Grok = 1: P2 +4, P5 +2, P4 −3, P6 −2. Check: 4 + 2 − 3 − 2 = 1.
• NOXI (reference) − ChatGPT = 8: P3 +6, P5 +2, P6 +2, P7 −2. ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot and Grok lead NOXI on P7, because they work inside PowerPoint itself; NOXI works on the web and inside ChatGPT and Claude, which is 4 of 5.

How sensitive the order is

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

• Gemini app 64 if its connected apps are not counted (P7 3, the reading our earlier pages print): Mistral Vibe 7th, Gemini app 8th.
• Grok 86 if "Grok reads what you point it at" counts as element-level editing (P2 5), which would put Grok 4th, above Copilot (83) and below Claude (87). Grok 84 with a "many languages" statement (P5 3).
• Perplexity 73 if its one-time free Computer turns count (P6 4; the plan table says No); 70 if "document" means Word (P4 5); 69 with P5 3; 78 with all three.
• Mistral Vibe 72 if the docs line "Files and Canvas are available on all plans" outweighs the pricing table (P6 4), which would put Mistral 6th, above Perplexity. 70 if Skills count as a template level (P2 4).
• Meta AI 53 if unstated free use is accepted (P6 3); 51 if a 2024 "coming soon … Arabic" line counts as a list (P5 4).
• Qwen 45 if free chat counts as free generation (P6 3), 45 if slides as images count (P1 2, from a post on X only), 51 with both plus P4 3.
• DeepSeek 38 if free chat counts as free generation (P6 3); 37 if image upload is read from its multimodal app models (P4 2).
• Z.ai 50 if a model page's "finished PPTX … deliverables" counts for the product (P1 3).
• Claude 83 on the older reading of its editing levels (P2 4). Kimi 92 if a badge-free export were stated (P1 5), 94 with a stated credit amount as well (P6 5), which would put Kimi first.
• Copilot 81 without admin connectors (P7 4); 80 if its import list is read as three types (P4 3).
• ChatGPT 86 if the add-in's "may be limited" is read against P1; 82 with Slides not counted for P2 as well, which would put Claude (87) first.
• NOXI 89 for a deck started from an attached file, where research is off by default (P3 2); 94 without the connector and plugin (P7 2).

Which AI can make a PPT for free?

Four chatbots document a free route to a PowerPoint on 29 October 2026: Claude (Slides on the Free plan), ChatGPT (the PowerPoint add-in with limited usage on Free and Go), Grok (Skills on every account) and Kimi (monthly free credits, amount not stated). The Gemini app makes slides free but hands back Google Slides or PDF.

For reference, NOXI's own account is free, with no card and no watermark: each account gets 1,000 credits a month, a full deck uses about 25, and the PowerPoint download has real text boxes and embedded fonts, Arabic included.

Can AI make a PowerPoint for me?

Yes, if three things are on the vendor's own pages: it builds the whole deck, it gives you an editable .pptx (or edits the file inside PowerPoint), and that works on your plan. Six of the twelve pass all three on a paid plan (the top five and Perplexity); Claude, ChatGPT, Grok and Kimi document a free route too. Our guide to embedding fonts in PowerPoint covers what to check when the file opens on another computer.

Can ChatGPT make a PowerPoint? Yes, in three ways (90)

ChatGPT scores 90, first of twelve: OpenAI documents an add-in inside PowerPoint on every plan, ChatGPT Slides on Pro, Business and Enterprise, and ChatGPT Work for native Google Slides. It loses points only on research placement, languages and the free allowance.

ChatGPT Slides needs Pro or above with Space access; on Free, Go and Plus the add-in is the route. ChatGPT also hosts deck-maker plugins; our NOXI ChatGPT plugin announcement shows that path.

Can Kimi make a PPT? Yes, with sources on the slides (88)

Kimi scores 88, second of twelve, and is the only chatbot here that documents citations on the slides. It loses points on the badge question, the unstated credit amount, a language list without Arabic, and not running inside PowerPoint.

Kimi's English help says user data is "located within mainland China"; that is not scored here. Kimi against Genspark and NOXI, with free credits and modes explained, is in our Kimi AI Slides review.

Can Claude make a PowerPoint? Yes, on the Free plan (87)

Claude scores 87, third of twelve, with a documented free route: Slides on every plan, including Free. It loses points on research placement, PowerPoint uploads, right-to-left layout and the free allowance.

Claude also builds decks through skills and custom connectors; the eight routes, with plans and set-up steps, are compared in our Claude PowerPoint skill guide. On Free, Anthropic notes that "Free users are limited to one custom connector."

Can Copilot make a PowerPoint? Yes, inside PowerPoint (83)

Copilot in PowerPoint scores 83, fourth of twelve, with full marks on the file, editing depth and where it runs. Its free-plan score is 2: Microsoft documents a one-month trial, not a free plan.

The consumer Copilot app says it can "Create images and Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files" and that "Feature availability varies by subscription type"; another Microsoft page says PowerPoint Agents need "a Microsoft 365 Copilot license". Check your plan. Copilot against NOXI, including why Copilot may not show in your PowerPoint, is in NOXI vs Copilot.

Can Grok make a PowerPoint? Yes: Skills, an add-in and Google Slides (82)

Grok (SpaceXSI, xAI) scores 82, fifth of twelve, through built-in Skills on every account, a PowerPoint add-in and a Google Workspace add-on. It loses points on element-level editing, a language list and where research appears.

Two official statements about the add-in differ, so both are printed: xAI calls it "a free Microsoft 365 add-in", while its Microsoft Marketplace listing says it is "currently available to SuperGrok, Heavy, Business and Enterprise plans". So don't count on the add-in from Grok Free; the Skills route on grok.com is documented for every account. Plans ("The X Subscription"): Free $0, Plus $8, Premium $30, Super $100 and Ultra $200 a month, before tax.

Can Perplexity make slides? Yes, on paid plans (67)

Perplexity scores 67, sixth of twelve: its file creation makes an editable .pptx on paid plans only (help article of 28 October 2026), and it documents citations on documents only.

Perplexity PPT and PowerPoint: what to expect

A Perplexity PowerPoint comes from its file creation (Computer), not from a search answer, and can also be saved to Google Drive as Google Slides. Pro costs $17 a month billed annually; Education Pro is $10 a month with verification from SheerID.

Can Gemini make a PowerPoint? It makes Google Slides (66)

The Gemini app scores 66, seventh on the tie-break. Canvas builds slides for free and exports them to Google Slides or PDF; Google documents no .pptx export and one AI editing level for slides.

For a .pptx, export to Google Slides and download it from Google Slides' own menu; that step belongs to Google Slides, so it is not scored here. Gemini against NOXI, step by step, is in NOXI vs Gemini.

Mistral Vibe, Meta AI, Z.ai and Qwen: partial routes

Four chatbots document part of the way: Mistral Vibe saves a PowerPoint file on paid plans, Meta AI generates slides in select markets, Z.ai exports PDF, and Qwen documents no slide feature on an official page.

Mistral slides: what happened to Le Chat? (66)

Mistral's assistant is now called Vibe: Mistral's own page says "Le Chat is now Vibe." Mistral Vibe (formerly Le Chat) scores 66, 8th on the tie-break. Canvas lets you "save the deck as a PowerPoint file for final adjustments" (Mistral docs), editability not stated (P1 3), and edits a selected passage only (P2 3). It imports PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, CSV and images up to 100 MB (P4 5), and its language page names "Middle Eastern Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, Turkish, Urdu" (P5 4). The pricing page shows Slides and Canvas as a dash on Free and ticked on Pro at $14.99 a month excluding tax, while the docs say "Files and Canvas are available on all plans"; the pricing page decides (P6 1). Custom MCP connectors (beta) are ticked even on Free (P7 4). Separately, the Vibe app's listing on Apple's Saudi App Store names no Arabic among its interface languages; the scored language cell rests on Mistral's model language page above.

Can Meta AI create a PPT? (49)

Meta AI scores 49. Meta's newsroom says you can "ask Meta AI to generate slides" and tell it to "cut a section", with features "rolling out today in select markets" (24 July 2026). No official page names a file format (P1 1, v). Meta AI accepts CSV, XLSX, PDF and DOCX files (P4 4), and Meta's help page documents creating "text documents on www.meta.ai", "currently in beta". Slides are documented for select markets only: Meta's post does not name them, and no Meta page for an Arabic-speaking market documents slides. Meta's newer personal agent, Muse, is a separate product rolling out in the US; no Muse page mentions slides.

Z.ai slides and GLM PPT (46)

Z.ai's GLM Slide Agent scores 46. Its docs say "Export as PDF ( PPTX and other formats coming soon )" (P1 2), the agent has "real-time web data access" (P3 3), and it is priced pay as you go at $0.7 per million tokens with no published free terms (P6 1). Z.ai is scored as an agent, with Kimi and Genspark, in our agents ranking.

Can Qwen make a PPT? (41)

Qwen Chat scores 41. Qwen's home page says "It's free to use, open to all" and documents Deep Research, an API platform and apps on five platforms, but no official Qwen page documents slides or a PowerPoint file. The Qwen Chat menu shows a Slides item that guests cannot use; in-app menus are not official pages under our rules, for every vendor. Qwen's model blog lists "119 languages and dialects", Arabic among them (P5 4).

Can DeepSeek make a PPT? Not on any official page (34)

No official DeepSeek page documents a PowerPoint file or a slide feature in its chat, so DeepSeek scores 34, twelfth of twelve. Its chat is free ("Chat with leading AI models for free.") with DeepThink and Search, a good place to draft the outline.

DeepSeek's changelog of 17 October 2026 mentions multilingual search, without a language list. DeepSeek also publishes Harness, an open-source developer agent whose page mentions it can "draft docs, and create slides"; the file format is not stated and it runs on a DeepSeek API key, so it is not scored as the chat product.

DeepSeek PPT: the two-step workflow

1. Draft in DeepSeek. Ask for a slide-by-slide outline: a full-sentence title per slide and every number with its source and year.
2. Check the numbers against each source the outline names.
3. Build the deck elsewhere. Paste the outline into a tool that documents an editable .pptx: Claude's Slides on Free, the ChatGPT add-in, or a deck maker such as NOXI.

What these rules don't measure

These seven rules measure what each vendor documents about decks and files, not how good the writing, reasoning or design is, and several chatbots lead on things the rubric leaves out.

• Writing quality and reasoning: often why people choose ChatGPT, Claude or DeepSeek in the first place.
• Image generation: not scored for any row.
• Privacy and data location: for example, Kimi's English help says data is located "within mainland China"; we score none of these policies.
• Regional availability: Meta AI's slides are rolling out "in select markets"; plugin and add-in availability also varies by plan and region.
• Meta's Muse: a separate personal agent, rolling out in the US, not scored.
• Grok's X search for news-driven decks.
• DeepSeek Harness: an open-source developer agent that mentions slides.
• Kimi's agent swarm, ChatGPT Slides' real-time co-editing, Claude's connectors in Excel and Gemini's Google Workspace reach.
• Price of paid tiers: the cheapest paid plan is printed, not scored.

Worked example: one analyst, six decks a month, a free chatbot

Start from the chatbot you already use, read its free-plan row, then price the options for a year.

Step 1: read her two chatbots against the checks

DeepSeek documents no PowerPoint file, so she would copy text into slides by hand. ChatGPT Free's add-in, with limited usage, edits a file she already has open; Slides needs Pro or above. Perplexity and Mistral Vibe create files only on paid plans.

Step 2: price the options for a year

Priya's decision: DeepSeek for the outline and the NOXI plugin inside ChatGPT for the six decks, with Claude's Free Slides as a second route. Against Perplexity Pro she spends $204 a year less, and against ChatGPT Plus $240 a year less. Check: 17 × 12 = 204; 20 × 12 = 240. She reviews the setup on 1 February 2027.

Key terms

Build it: a PowerPoint from your outline with the NOXI plugin in ChatGPT

To make a deck with NOXI 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. OpenAI says installing or using a plugin depends on your plan, workspace, role and region.

The PowerPoint file has real text boxes and embedded fonts, Arabic included, with no watermark.

Claude users can connect the same NOXI server as a custom connector: in Claude, go to Customize > Connectors, click "+ Add", then "Add custom connector", and enter the address mcp.noxi.ai/mcp from noxi.ai/connect.

Frequently asked questions

Which AI can make a PowerPoint for free?

On vendor pages checked on 29 October 2026, Claude's Free plan includes Slides with export to PowerPoint, ChatGPT's PowerPoint add-in offers limited use on Free, and Grok's Skills run on every account. Kimi gives monthly free credits, and the Gemini app makes slides free but exports Google Slides or PDF, not .pptx.

Can DeepSeek make a PPT?

Not on any official DeepSeek page checked on 29 October 2026: its free chat documents no slide feature or PowerPoint file, which is why DeepSeek scores 34 of 100 here. Use it to draft a slide-by-slide outline, then build the file in a tool that documents an editable .pptx, such as Claude's Slides or a deck maker.

Can Perplexity make slides?

Yes, on paid plans. Perplexity's help article of 28 October 2026 says file creation downloads editable .pptx, .docx and .xlsx files, while its plan page shows file creation as No on Free. Pro costs $17 a month billed annually. Perplexity scores 67 of 100 on our seven rules.

Can Grok make a PowerPoint?

Yes. Grok scores 82 of 100: xAI says every Grok account has built-in Skills that make PowerPoint slides, and it launched Grok for PowerPoint on 16 June 2026. xAI calls the add-in free, while Microsoft's Marketplace listing says it is available to SuperGrok, Heavy, Business and Enterprise plans, so check your plan.

Can Gemini make a PowerPoint?

The Gemini app makes slides in Canvas for free and exports them to Google Slides or PDF; Google's help, checked on 29 October 2026, documents no .pptx export from Gemini. You can download a PowerPoint from Google Slides afterwards. The Gemini app scores 66 of 100 here, seventh on the tie-break.

Can Claude make a PowerPoint for free?

Yes. Anthropic lists Slides on the Free plan, and its help says decks export to PowerPoint and PDF or go straight to Google Slides. The Claude for PowerPoint add-in needs Pro or above; Pro is $17 a month billed annually. Claude scores 87 of 100 on our rules, checked 29 October 2026.

Can Copilot make a PowerPoint?

Yes, inside PowerPoint: Microsoft says Copilot generates or edits content directly in PowerPoint for Windows, Mac and the web, and it scores 83 of 100 here. It needs a Microsoft 365 plan, such as Personal at $9.99 a month, with a one-month trial; the standalone Copilot app's PowerPoint files depend on your subscription.

Can Meta AI or Qwen make a PPT?

Meta says Meta AI can generate slides in select markets (24 July 2026), but no page names a PowerPoint file; it scores 49. No official Qwen page documents slides or a PowerPoint file, and Qwen Chat scores 41. For both, draft the outline in the chat and build the file in a deck tool.

What happened to Le Chat?

Mistral renamed its assistant: its page says "Le Chat is now Vibe." Mistral Vibe can save a Canvas deck as a PowerPoint file, and its pricing page lists Slides on Pro at $14.99 a month excluding tax, not on Free. Mistral Vibe scores 66 of 100 here, eighth on the tie-break, checked 29 October 2026.

How do I use NOXI inside 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. Slide previews and PowerPoint, PDF and HTML files come back in the chat; NOXI's reference row scores 98 here.
