AI is useful when you need a quick and dirty deck for a sync with your team, but for decks you’ll present to investors and clients — relationships in which every interaction either builds or erodes trust — don’t blindly offload to AI. It can be a good starting point, but you’ll still need human judgement to account for quality and style.

1. Use AI to explore visual treatments but not to design
Claude and other AI tools can help you explore art directions and spark visual inspo, but it’s notorious for design tropes that look amateur and go against accessibility best practices (e.g., boxy layouts and overused gradients). Following the exploration phase, you should turn to a human designer who understands nuance and can make the art direction work for your brand and audience.

2. Export the file to a design platform, then edit

Poor content organization gives away an
AI-generated deck. AI can’t discern how complex or disparate ideas relate, what deserves emphasis, and how best to support reader comprehension and scanning. Bring the deck into your preferred design program to refine flow and text hierarchy.

3. Inspect data for factual hallucinations

AI has a tendency to fill gaps with fabricated stats and data. Always review the content closely, even if it’s entirely user-provided because AI is unlikely to inform you of the edits it made to your work (though it will admit fault if you happen to catch and confront it).

4. Check spelling and writing style

When generating pure text, AI can generally write without blatant spelling errors, but that’s often not the case for text within images or charts, so look out for missing letters and scrambled words. Also, thoroughly re-read content for edits to your original word choice, syntax, and punctuation that shift meaning and tone. Flag clichés, buzzwords, overuse of certain punctuation, and formulaic sentence structures that might raise suspicion.
