# Website to presentation with AI: turn web pages into a deck you can check

> The AI builds a deck from public web pages: paste up to 3 links into a request, or use the Chrome extension on a page you are reading. The Chrome extension reads pages as your browser shows them, including signed-in pages, when you add them. “Read brand” takes colors, fonts and logo from a site for the design. Ask for source lines or a sources slide to print sources on the slides, and compare the facts with the page.

## At a glance

- Up to 3 public links per request are read before planning
- The Chrome extension turns the page you are on into slides; desktop Google Chrome 116 or newer
- “Read brand” takes colors, fonts and logo from a website for the design and uses no credits
- Ask for source lines or a sources slide, and compare the facts with the page

## Steps

1. **Choose how the page gets in.** Paste up to 3 public links into the request, or open the page in Chrome and use the extension: “Turn this page into slides” for one page, “Add to research” for up to 8.
2. **Say what the deck is for.** A page is material, not a brief. Say who the deck is for, what it has to achieve and which parts of the page to use. For the look of a company site, read its brand first with “Read brand”.
3. **Approve the plan.** On a computer, the AI asks up to four questions and shows a page plan to approve. “Turn this page into slides” builds a short deck without asking you to approve a plan.
4. **Check the facts and export.** Compare figures, names and dates with the page, ask for source lines on the slides, edit by hand or in the chat, then export a PowerPoint file. Hand edits and exports use no credits.

## Spec sheet

| Item | Detail | Status |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Links in a request | Up to 3 public links, read before planning. A linked PDF, Word, Excel or PowerPoint file with text works too. | Yes |
| Chrome extension | Desktop Google Chrome 116 or newer. Up to 8 pages or passages; a page is read when you add it, as your browser shows it, including pages you are signed in to. | Yes |
| Read brand | Colors, fonts and logo from an address, plus tagline, values and tone where the text allows. Uses no credits; nothing is saved until “Accept brand”. | Yes |
| Images | Images in a document come from your uploads, Pexels, Brandfetch and Wikimedia Commons. | Yes |
| Sources on slides | The AI usually adds a brief footnote. Ask for source lines or a sources slide, with the address and the date you read the page. | Yes |

| Credits | Planning and building use credits. The extension is free and uses your plan and credits. “Read brand” uses none. | Yes |

A website is raw material, not a presentation. The AI can read public pages for a deck in three ways: links in your request, the Chrome extension and “Read brand”. Each does a different job, and the table shows which one fits.

## Which website to presentation job do you have?

| You have                    | You need                      | Use                                                                      |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| One article or product page | A short deck from it          | “Turn this page into slides” in the Chrome extension                     |
| Several pages or passages   | One deck that combines them   | “Add to research” in the Chrome extension, or up to 3 links in a request |
| A company website           | A deck in that company's look | “Read brand”, then a request                                             |
| A page you are signed in to | A deck from its content       | The Chrome extension, which reads pages as your browser shows them       |

The first two rows are about content, the third about design, and they combine. A common job is a briefing on a client before a first meeting: read the client's brand, build the deck from its pages, and use the [consulting proposal template](https://ai-presentations.com/templates/consulting-proposal/) or the [company profile template](https://ai-presentations.com/templates/company-profile/) as the structure.

## Which pages can the AI read?

Public pages: up to 3 public links per request are read before planning. Paste them into the request next to your instructions. A linked PDF, Word, Excel or PowerPoint file works too if it contains text.

To bring in a page you are signed in to, open it in Chrome and add it with the Chrome extension, which reads pages as your browser shows them. Or copy the text, paste it into the request and keep the address for the source line.

> **Warning: A signed-in page is still someone else's content**
>
> Pages behind a login often hold material that you may not pass on. Check what you may use before you add one.

## How does the Chrome extension turn a page into slides?

Slaide for Chrome is an optional side-panel extension for Google Chrome 116 or newer on a desktop computer, installed from the Chrome Web Store. It opens from the toolbar icon or with Alt+Shift+S and uses the Slaide sign-in of your Chrome profile; it never asks for a password.

**Steps**

1. **Open the page in Chrome** and open the side panel.
2. **Choose what to add.** “Turn this page into slides” builds a short deck from the current page without asking you to approve a plan. For several sources, use “Add to research” or right-click and choose “Add page to Slaide” or “Add selection to Slaide”: up to 8 pages or highlighted passages, with the plan shown before building.
3. **Set the language.** The optional line “What should the deck be?” sets the deck's language; without it, the panel language decides, and the panel follows Chrome: German or English.
4. **Let it build.** The build runs on Slaide's servers, so you can switch tabs or close the panel. “Stop” keeps the slides already built.
5. **Open or download.** Results open in the app (“Open in Slaide”) or download as PowerPoint.

The extension reads a page when you add it, never in the background: the main text up to about 45,000 characters plus title, address, author and date. It is free and uses your plan and credits. On the free plan the first deck is planned up to 12 slides and the first 3 are built.

## Can the deck take the look of a website?

Yes, for colors, fonts and logo. On the Brand page (“Brand” in the top navigation), enter the address and click “Read brand”. The page is opened in a browser, and visible colors, fonts and logo are read, plus tagline, values and tone where the text allows. Reading uses no credits. A review shows the page as it was read, logo candidates, colors sorted by job, heading and body fonts and three sample slides. Nothing is saved until you click “Accept brand”.

Three points to keep in mind:

- **Without a website.** “Create without a website” sets the brand up by hand.
- **Guidance.** The brand guides the AI, and your instruction in a request wins.
- **Rights.** Use logos only with the needed brand rights.

If the deck should sit in your own PowerPoint design instead, the page on [company templates](https://ai-presentations.com/ai-presentation-company-template/) explains how.

## What should you check before you use a deck built from a website?

**Key takeaways**

- **Figures, names and dates.** Compare each with the page. A page can be out of date or wrong. “Fact check complete” means that each finding links to a source the search returned.
- **Source lines.** Ask for source lines or a sources slide, with the address and the date you read the page. The assistant panel lists the sources of a deck.
- **Your own words.** Text on a page is usually someone else's work. Ask for a summary in your words and check what you may quote.
- **Images.** Images in a document come from your uploads, Pexels, Brandfetch and Wikimedia Commons. Upload any image you want on a slide.
- **Assumptions.** Read the closing message in the chat: it names material assumptions.
- **Fonts.** Open the exported file once on the presenting laptop to see the deck as your audience will.

The AI searches the web by itself when a document needs current or unfamiliar public facts, such as market figures or legal rules, and its searches are phrased as general public questions. That is separate from reading the links you paste. The guide to [AI presentation prompts](https://ai-presentations.com/guides/ai-presentation-prompts/) has wording for asking for source lines.

## What else can you give the AI besides a link?

Want a chart or table as it looks on the site? Attach a screenshot and name the slide. Copy the text of a page into the request and keep the address for the source line. If the source is a PDF, attach the file or paste a link to it in the request.

This route fits when the pages are material and the deck has to decide what matters: choosing the three points, writing the titles that state them and keeping the sources visible. For a long document rather than a web page, see [report to presentation](https://ai-presentations.com/convert/report-to-presentation/); for text you have already copied, [text to presentation](https://ai-presentations.com/convert/text-to-presentation/).

## Brief for the AI

A complete brief for the AI. Replace the [placeholders] with your facts.

```text
Build a [8]-slide briefing for [audience, for example our sales team] from the pages I linked [links, for example the company's About and Products pages]. Goal: [what the audience should know or decide afterwards]. Use only what the pages say; for every figure or claim add a source line with the page it came from, and mark anything the pages do not cover as an assumption. Leave out [parts to skip, for example the career pages]. Give every slide an action title that states its conclusion. Style: [our company template, or clean and corporate], 16:9.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can AI turn a website into a presentation?

Yes. Paste up to 3 public links into the request, or use the Chrome extension on the page you are reading, and the AI builds a deck from what it read. Compare every figure and date with the page.

### Which pages can the AI read?

Public pages: paste up to 3 links into the request and the AI reads them before planning, and a linked PDF, Word, Excel or PowerPoint file works too if it contains text. The Chrome extension reads pages as your browser shows them, including pages you are signed in to, when you add them.

### Which browser does the Chrome extension need?

Google Chrome 116 or newer on a desktop computer. It reads a page when you add it, never in the background.

### Is the Chrome extension free?

The extension is free and uses your plan and credits. On the free plan the first deck is planned up to 12 slides and the first 3 are built.

### Can the deck take the look of a website?

A site's brand can be read: on the Brand page, enter the address and click “Read brand”. It reads visible colors, fonts and logo, plus tagline, values and tone where the text allows, uses no credits and saves nothing until you click “Accept brand”. The brand is guidance for the AI, and your instruction in a request wins. Use logos only with the needed brand rights.

### What happens to the pages I add?

The extension reads a page when you add it. Added sources stay in its local storage until you remove them, and usage events carry no page text, URLs or titles. When a deck is built, the request and the content it needs go to language-model providers in the USA, and use for training is excluded by contract; documents and uploaded files are stored in the EU. Check first whether a confidential page may be processed in the USA.
