Meet Kimi for Slides

What Kimi AI Slides is best for

Kimi AI Slides is built around turning an idea into a deck quickly, with two creation paths:

• Adaptive (30–60 min): “deep research + structured delivery”

• Visual (5–10 min): fast deck generation
  It also explicitly notes it’s powered by Nano Banana Pro on the Slides page.

Best when you want: a quick, structured first draft deck (titles + bullets + flow) and you’ll do final polish in your slide editor.

Kimi AI for Slides:  Creating Great Presentations Fast

Slide decks are one of the most common “high effort, low joy” tasks in modern work.

You might know exactly what you want to say your product update, class lesson, investor pitch, quarterly results, research summary but turning that into a clean, well-structured presentation can easily eat half a day. Writing slide titles, condensing paragraphs into bullets, picking a consistent layout, finding visuals that don’t look random, aligning text boxes, and then doing it all again when someone says “can we shorten this to 8 slides?”  it’s a lot.

That’s where Kimi AI for Slides comes in.

Kimi Slides is positioned as an AI slide creator that helps you turn ideas into a presentation quickly often from a prompt, an outline, or even a block of pasted content with different creation modes depending on how much depth you need.

This guide explains what Kimi Slides is, how to use it effectively, and how to get decks that look like a human made them (not like a generic AI template). You’ll also get copy-paste prompt templates, slide structures for common deck types, and a QA checklist you can use before exporting.

1) What is Kimi AI for Slides?

Kimi Slides is a slide-generation feature inside Kimi that aims to turn an idea into a structured slide deck in minutes. The official Slides page describes it as a way to “turn your ideas into stunning slides” and highlights speed-focused creation paths depending on what you’re making.

Kimi is developed by Moonshot AI, which positions Kimi as a general AI assistant plus “work” tools Docs, Slides, Sheets, Websites, and Deep Research built around productivity workflows.

In simple terms:

• Chat Kimi helps you think and write.

• Kimi Slides helps you produce a deck: outline + slide content + layout/theme choices, then export.

If you’ve used AI for writing before, Kimi Slides is that same productivity boost but mapped onto presentation structure: titles, hierarchy, slide pacing, sections, and visual rhythm.

2) Who Kimi Slides is for

Kimi Slides is useful if you create decks in any of these situations:

Students

• Presentations from research notes

• Literature summaries

• Project proposals

• Seminar slides

Teachers & trainers

• Lesson slides from a syllabus

• Mini quizzes / recap slides

• Training modules and workshop decks

Business teams

• Weekly status updates

• Monthly/quarterly business reviews

• Product launch decks

• Client proposals and strategy slides

Founders & marketers

• Pitch decks

• Go-to-market plans

• Campaign concepts

• Case study decks

Researchers & analysts

• Paper summaries

• Methodology overview slides

• Experiment results and charts

• Conference decks

Kimi is also being promoted as an “Office Pilot” style assistant that can help create and edit PPT/Word/Excel/PDF files as part of its broader agent workflow.
So Slides is not “just a toy feature” it’s part of a bigger “do office work with AI” direction.

3) The core features that matter in real decks

Most people don’t need an AI that can generate 100 random slides. They need help with four practical problems:

A) Turning messy thoughts into a clean structure

This is the #1 time-saver. A great deck is basically a great outline just visually arranged.

Kimi Slides can start from:

• a topic (“Presentation on X”)

• a rough outline

• pasted notes

• a document summary

And then propose a slide structure you can tweak.

B) Compressing content into “slide language”

Slides are not essays. Slide text must be:

• shorter

• scannable

• grouped

• “one idea per slide” (usually)

Kimi helps compress paragraphs into bullets and creates headings that feel intentional.

C) Keeping consistency (tone, terms, style)

Decks look professional when:

• headings follow a pattern

• bullet depth is consistent

• terminology stays stable

• sections have a rhythm

AI helps because it’s good at consistency if you instruct it well.

D) Making revisions fast

The deck almost never ends at draft #1.

You get feedback like:

• “shorten this”

• “move the recommendations earlier”

• “add a competitor slide”

• “simplify the chart”

• “use less text”

Kimi Slides can handle those changes quickly if you give clear instructions.

---

4) Kimi Slides creation modes

Kimi’s official Slides page shows different creation “modes” or approaches, including:

• Adaptive (roughly 30–60 minutes) for deeper work

• Visual (roughly 5–10 minutes) for quick decks
  It also mentions being “Powered by Nano Banana Pro.”

Even if the mode names evolve over time, the idea is simple:

Use “Visual / Fast” mode when…

• you need a quick first draft

• the deck is simple (intro, benefits, steps, summary)

• you want something editable to refine later

Use “Adaptive / Deeper” mode when…

• you need more structure, research, or narrative flow

• your deck must persuade (pitch, strategy, proposal)

• you want more careful slide ordering and supporting detail

Think of it like this:

• Visual = “Get me a usable deck now.”

• Adaptive = “Help me make a better story, then a deck.”

---

5) The best workflow: prompt → outline → slides → polish → export

If you want Kimi Slides to produce decks that look human, don’t do “one prompt and done.” Use a simple workflow that forces quality.

Step 1: Define the audience and goal (one sentence each)

Examples:

• Audience: “non-technical leadership”

• Goal: “approve budget for Q2 project”

Or:

• Audience: “students aged 16–18”

• Goal: “teach the concept + test understanding”

Step 2: Request an outline first

Ask Kimi to propose:

• slide titles

• key bullets per slide

• what visuals would help (charts, diagrams, examples)

Then revise the outline before generating the full deck.

Why this matters: Structure is everything in slides. If the outline is wrong, the deck will be wrong.

Step 3: Generate slides from the approved outline

Now you’ll get:

• cleaner slide pacing

• fewer “random filler slides”

• better consistency

Step 4: Apply “human polish” instructions

This is where most people stop too early. Tell Kimi:

• reduce text density

• use parallel phrasing

• add examples

• add a simple diagram slide

• improve transitions between sections

Step 5: Export and do final edits in your preferred tool

Depending on your workflow, you’ll finish the last 10% in:

• PowerPoint

• Google Slides

• Keynote

The AI is for speed + structure. Your final pass is for brand + precision.

6) Writing slide content that doesn’t feel “AI-ish”

AI decks often feel “AI-ish” for predictable reasons:

• too many words

• vague headings (“Introduction,” “Overview,” “Conclusion”)

• generic claims (“This improves efficiency”)

• no concrete examples

• every slide has the same tone and rhythm

Here’s how to fix that.

A) Force specific headings

Instead of “Benefits,” use:

• “Why this matters now”

• “What changes in Q2”

• “What success looks like”

• “Top 3 risks we must manage”

These headings create a story.

B) Limit bullets per slide

A human deck usually has:

• 3–5 bullets per slide

• short bullets (1 line if possible)

• one “anchor” idea per slide

Tell Kimi:

“Max 5 bullets per slide. Max 12 words per bullet.”

Instant improvement.

C) Add examples and numbers (when you have them)

If you provide Kimi with:

• baseline metrics

• timeline

• costs

• audience size

• results

It can create more credible slides.

If you don’t have numbers yet, tell it to include a placeholder format:

• “Metric: [insert value]”

• “Target: [insert value]”

That keeps you honest and avoids invented data.

D) Use “speaker notes” for detail

A great approach is:

• keep slides clean

• put detail in speaker notes

Prompt:

“Keep slides minimal. Put explanations in speaker notes.”

This makes the deck look professional.

---

7) Using your own content: paste, upload, transform

Kimi Slides works best when you give it real input. Common inputs:

A) Paste an article or long text → “summary deck”

This is one of the most popular workflows: turn a blog post, report, or internal memo into slides.

A LinkedIn example describes copying a full article into Kimi and generating a slide deck that summarizes it.

Best practice prompt:

“Turn this text into a 10-slide deck. Keep it concise. Use 1 example per section. Add a ‘Key takeaway’ slide.”

B) Upload a PDF → deck

Many users want: PDF report → presentation deck.
This is especially useful for:

• research papers

• business reports

• policy documents

• project writeups

If you do this, tell Kimi what kind of deck you want:

• executive summary deck (short)

• training deck (more explanation)

• pitch deck (persuasive)

C) Convert data into chart-friendly slides

If your input includes data (even a simple table), ask for:

• chart suggestions

• the “one insight” per chart

• a plain-English caption

Even if you later rebuild the chart in PowerPoint, the insight framing is valuable.

9) Visual design tips: layout, spacing, charts, images

Even the best outline can look “cheap” if the design is cluttered. Here are the simplest rules that instantly improve decks.

A) One idea per slide

If a slide has two unrelated ideas, split it.

B) Use a consistent grid

Most slides should align to:

• left margin

• consistent spacing

• consistent font sizes

Tell Kimi:

“Keep each slide to a simple layout: title + 2 columns OR title + 1 visual + 3 bullets.”

C) Don’t overload visuals

AI-generated decks often add too many icons/photos.

Better:

• one strong image per section divider slide

• simple diagrams for processes

• clean charts for data

D) Add “section divider” slides

Human decks often use dividers to create pacing:

• “Market”

• “Solution”

• “Plan”

• “Results”

• “Next Steps”

This makes the deck easier to follow.

E) Chart slides: always include the “so what”

A chart without a takeaway is decoration.

Ask Kimi:

“For each chart, add a one-line insight: what the audience should notice.”

---

10) Editing and iteration: turning feedback into a better deck

The fastest way to upgrade a Kimi deck is to revise with specific instructions.

Instead of:

• “Make it better”

• “Make it more professional”

Use:

• “Cut slide text by 30%”

• “Make headings action-oriented”

• “Move recommendations to slide 4”

• “Add one slide on risks and mitigations”

• “Replace generic bullets with concrete examples from this section”

If you have reviewer feedback, paste it and ask Kimi to implement it:

“Apply this feedback to the deck. List what changed slide-by-slide.”

This is also where side-by-side comparison and “structured work tools” across office formats can matter in Kimi’s broader ecosystem.

---

11) Exporting + collaboration workflows

Most people create slides in one tool and present/edit in another. A typical workflow:

1. Generate deck in Kimi Slides

2. Export

3. Open in PowerPoint / Google Slides

4. Apply brand fonts/colors, add company templates

5. Final review and share

Kimi is often discussed in “agent mode” contexts—generating slides (and even multi-page websites) as part of automated productivity.
So Slides is designed to be part of a broader “idea → artifact” workflow.

---

12) Comparison: Kimi Slides vs other AI slide tools

There are many slide tools. The real differences usually come down to:

A) Speed vs depth

Kimi’s Slides page explicitly frames different modes and expected time ranges (quick visual creation vs deeper structured delivery).
Some tools optimize for one style only.

B) How well it handles long inputs

If you paste a long report and want a deck, you need:

• strong summarization

• good hierarchy

• the ability to keep the deck concise

Kimi has examples of “drop an idea, I’ll handle outline & deck.”

C) Editability after export

The best tools produce slides you can still edit normally (text boxes, charts, layout).
Even a “pretty” deck is not useful if it’s locked.

D) Design quality

Some tools have stronger template variety or cleaner image choices.
Kimi may generate a more “verbose” deck by default (based on early user commentary), so your prompt should force conciseness.

Practical advice:

• If you want fewer words, tell Kimi up front.

• If you want more design variety, ask for 2 theme options.

• If you want a company template, do final formatting in your normal slide app.

Fix: Specify slide count, bullet limits, audience, goal.

Mistake 2: Letting the deck become too text-heavy

Fix: Tell Kimi to put detail into speaker notes.

Mistake 3: No narrative arc

Fix: Add slides like “Why now,” “What changes,” “Next steps.”

Mistake 4: No placeholders for missing data

Fix: Ask for placeholders instead of invented numbers.

Mistake 5: Skipping a final pass

Fix: Use the checklist below.

---

15) Final QA checklist

Use this 3-minute check:

Structure

• Does the story flow logically?

• Are section transitions clear?

• Is there a summary + next steps?

Text

• Are bullets short and scannable?

• Are headings specific and consistent?

• Any repeated points across slides?

Visuals

• Any slide cluttered or unreadable?

• Are charts labeled and explained with a takeaway?

• Is spacing consistent?

Accuracy

• Are numbers correct (and not invented)?

• Are claims backed by your source text?

Delivery

• Does it fit the time you have to present?

• Are speaker notes present where needed?

Key differences that actually matter

1) “Generate the whole deck” vs “Improve a slide”

• Kimi Slides / Gamma / Beautiful.ai: strongest at creating a deck from scratch (outline → slides).

• Gemini in Slides: shines when you already have slides and want visual upgrades (“Beautify this slide”, “Help me visualize”).

• Copilot in PowerPoint: great when you want deck generation directly inside PPT, plus referencing your existing files.

2) Structure quality (story + flow)

• Kimi Slides explicitly offers a “deeper” mode (Adaptive) intended for more structured output, not just quick visuals.

• Tools like Gamma often excel at “card/deck storytelling” that looks polished quickly, especially for sharing online.

3) Design and formatting effort

• If you hate formatting: Beautiful.ai is designed around auto-formatting (“Smart Slides”).

• If you want templates + brand kits: Canva is usually easiest for non-designers who want strong visuals fast.

4) Export + editability

• Gamma clearly supports exporting and also explains export options (PDF/PNG/PPT, etc.).

• Copilot + Gemini win on editability because you’re already in the native slide tool (PowerPoint/Google Slides).
