Ryan Chen is Product Marketing Manager at Microsoft. Like many people who give regular presentations, he rarely starts from a blank page.
More often than not, he is faced with a pile of product information, release notes, customer feedback, screenshots and scattered ideas. What really takes time is not to open PPT, but to organize these things into a story that others can understand and remember.
Deckwise helped him organize the information into an outline and then generate a set of editable slides. After the first version comes out, Ryan can continue to ask AI to modify the same deck: adjusting the structure, rewriting the title, adding pages, or changing the content into a version more suitable for a different audience.
No more starting from a blank page
In the past, when Ryan made a product presentation, he usually had to go through release notes, PRD, customer feedback and product screenshots, and then copy them page by page into slides.
The most troublesome part is not writing the content, but deciding how to say it: which information should be put first, which functions should be merged, which technical details should be deleted, which customer pain points deserve their own pages.
Now, he can put this information into the Deckwise project and let AI generate an outline. Ryan does not need to worry about how to format each page from the beginning, but first checks whether the overall structure is established.
If the story line is wrong, he can directly ask AI to adjust it:
- Address customer pain points in advance
- Condensing the function introduction
- Add a page of product value summary
- Change the technical description to be easier to understand
After the outline is confirmed, Deckwise will generate a complete set of editable slides.
Generate the first version first, and then continue polishing it.
What Ryan needs most is not a "build and end" PPT.
In real work, a deck often changes many times: the product scope changes, customer feedback is updated, the boss wants to emphasize another point, and the sales team raises new questions.
The difference with Deckwise is that after the first version is generated, AI can continue to understand the same deck and directly help him modify the current document.
Ryan can continue directing like this:
- Change the third page to be more customer value-oriented
- Add a page of FAQs to your sales presentation
- Condensed this deck into 8 pages
- Change the tone to be more suitable for customer presentations
- Add a stronger call to action at the end
These changes will not become a bunch of new files, but will continue to occur in the same slides.
The same batch of information can be changed to different versions
The same set of product information often faces different scenarios.
To show it to customers, you need to explain the scenarios and benefits clearly; to show it to the sales team, you need to emphasize selling points and common problems; to synchronize it internally, you need to retain more background and decision-making information.
In the past, this meant that Ryan had to copy several versions and then change the title, page, and expression respectively.
Now, he can start from the same Deckwise project and let AI generate different versions for him:
- Customer facing version
- Sales-oriented version
- Version for internal synchronization
- Shorter version of the report
- A version more suitable for webinars
This allows him to not have to start from scratch every time, but to continually adjust around the same batch of data.
What matters most to Ryan
What Ryan values most is not whether Deckwise can generate the first version of slides.
The first version is of course important, but what really saves time is the subsequent process: continue to modify the structure, continue to supplement the content, and continue to adjust the expression based on feedback.
Deckwise puts data, outlines, slides, and AI modification capabilities in the same workflow. For Ryan, presentation is no longer a static document, but a work that can continue to evolve.
He can focus more on what really matters: figuring out the key points, telling the story clearly, and making every page serve the purpose.
