# AI presentations for freelancers: proposals and profiles in your own brand

> The AI builds a freelancer's client decks from a short brief: proposals, a company profile, case studies and client updates. Save your colors, fonts and logo once as a brand kit, check a page plan before anything is built, and export an editable PowerPoint file. The free plan covers one document, planned up to 12 pages with the first 3 built, and needs no card. As of October 2026, paid plans start at 7.99 EUR a month.

## At a glance

- One free document, planned up to 12 pages with the first 3 built; no card needed
- As of October 2026: Plus 7.99, Pro 17.99 and Max 59.99 EUR a month, less when billed yearly
- Save colors, fonts and a logo once as a brand kit, or read them from your website
- Hand edits, imports, exports, sharing and reading your brand use no credits

## Steps

1. **Set up your brand once.** Under “Brand”, add colors, fonts and a logo, or enter your website and click “Read brand”. Check “Here is what we found”, then click “Accept brand”. Reading a brand uses no credits.
2. **Brief the deck.** Say who the client is, what they must decide and what you offer. Attach their request, your call notes or an old proposal. The AI asks up to four questions where the brief leaves gaps.
3. **Approve the page plan.** Check one card per slide and the “What I assumed” list, change what is off with “Tweak it”, and approve with “Let’s go”. The plan comes first; a finished deck usually takes a few minutes.
4. **Edit and send.** Change text and prices by hand, which uses no credits, or ask in the chat. Export a PowerPoint file or a PDF, or share a public link that clients read without an account.
5. **Reuse what worked.** Open a finished proposal in the library and choose “Use as template”. The copy keeps look and structure, and your first request rewrites the content for the next client.

A freelancer sells with documents before the work starts: the proposal that wins the project, the profile that explains who you are, the case study that shows you have done it before. The AI builds these from a short brief in your own brand, so one person can send documents that look as consistent as a firm's. The prices, the references and the promises stay yours.

## Which decks does a freelancer actually need?

Four cover most of the work: a proposal, a profile, a case study and a deck for a standard offer. Each answers a different question from the client.

| Deck            | The client's question                    | When you send it                       | Template                                               |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| Proposal        | What will you do, by when, for how much? | After the first call                   | [Consulting proposal](https://ai-presentations.com/templates/consulting-proposal/) |
| Company profile | Who are you?                             | Before a call, or with an introduction | [Company profile](https://ai-presentations.com/templates/company-profile/)         |
| Case study      | Have you done this before?               | With the proposal, or on request       | [Case study](https://ai-presentations.com/templates/case-study/)                   |
| Sales deck      | What do you offer, and how does it work? | When you sell a standard package       | [Sales deck](https://ai-presentations.com/templates/sales-deck/)                   |

Client updates follow the same pattern: a short deck with the decision or the news first and the detail after. Our [guide to structuring a presentation](https://ai-presentations.com/guides/how-to-structure-a-presentation/) shows the order that works.

## How can one person look as polished as a bigger firm?

By being consistent, not by pretending to be bigger. A client skims a proposal for three signals: you understood the problem, the plan is concrete, and you are organized. The same colors, fonts and logo on every document, a structure the client recognizes and a title on every slide that says the point cover the third.

A title that says the point reads like this:

| A label  | A title that makes the point                                               |
| -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Scope    | Three deliverables cover the relaunch: brand guide, website, launch assets |
| Timeline | The site can go live on 14 March if feedback arrives within two days       |
| Fees     | A fixed fee in two installments, with changes priced before they start     |

Ask for this style in the brief; the guide to [action titles](https://ai-presentations.com/guides/action-titles/) explains how.

The brand kit does the repeating work. Under “Brand”, save your colors, fonts, logo and tone of voice once, or enter your website address and click “Read brand”. The AI reads the visible colors, fonts and logo and shows the result under “Here is what we found”. Nothing is saved until you click “Accept brand”, and reading a brand uses no credits.

While a brand is active, it goes with every new request as guidance. Your instruction in the brief always wins; to restyle an old document, ask in the chat. Uploaded fonts draw pages in the editor, the PDF and PNG or JPG files. Use a font the client has, or send a PDF. Upload only fonts whose license allows it, and use only logos you have the rights to.

What persuades is specific: your own projects, with real numbers. Name them in the brief and attach the figures. The AI is told not to invent figures and to label assumptions, and it builds from what you supply.

## What does Slaide cost a freelancer?

Nothing to start, then from 7.99 EUR a month, as of October 2026. The free plan covers one document, planned up to 12 pages with the first 3 built. It needs a confirmed e-mail address and no card. A paid plan builds the remaining pages of that document, and a second document runs on credits or a plan.

| Plan | Per month | Billed yearly, per month | Credits a month | Pages per document |
| ---- | --------- | ------------------------ | --------------- | ------------------ |
| Plus | 7.99 EUR  | 5.99 EUR                 | 800             | 12                 |
| Pro  | 17.99 EUR | 14.99 EUR                | 1,800           | Up to 500          |
| Max  | 59.99 EUR | 45.99 EUR                | 7,000           | Up to 500          |

All prices are final prices in euro, and no VAT is shown, under § 19 UStG. Plans renew automatically and can be canceled anytime. They differ in volume, not in the AI model. Credits pay for building, chat requests, page changes and web research. Hand edits, imports, exports, sharing and reading your brand use none. Paid plans export and share without the “Made with Slaide” mark.

Pay-as-you-go works on every plan: it lets a run continue on an empty balance and bills the extra usage up to a monthly limit you set, at least 5 EUR. The Usage page lists credits per document, so you see what a proposal costs you. The [pricing page](https://ai-presentations.com/pricing/) has the current prices.

## How does the client get the deck?

As a file or as a link. Export a PowerPoint file for clients who want to edit, or a PDF when the layout should stay fixed. A click on “Share” creates a public link that viewers open without an account: they read every page and present.

The link address contains a random identifier, and anyone who has it can read the deck, so share it with the people it is meant for. Signed-in viewers can copy the deck as a template; “Allow use as template” is on by default and you can switch it off. As the owner you can switch the link off; sharing again creates a new address.

## How do you reuse a proposal for the next client?

Copy the proposal that worked. Your first proposal can start from the [consulting proposal](https://ai-presentations.com/templates/consulting-proposal/) structure; every later one starts from your own. Open the finished proposal in the library and choose “Use as template”. The copy keeps the pages, the page format and the images; the chat, versions and attachments stay behind. Copying uses no credits.

In the new document, your first request keeps the look and structure and rewrites the content page by page. Describe the new client, attach their material and say what changes. Then read the result as the new client would, and check names, figures and quotes.

## What should you check before you send a proposal?

- **Fees and figures.** The AI writes the fee page from your brief. Read every number before it goes out.
- **Pictures.** Pages can use your uploads, Pexels photos, Brandfetch logos and Wikimedia Commons images. Upload your own project pictures.
- **Client material under NDA.** Files are stored in the EU, AI requests go to providers in the USA, and training use is excluded by contract. Check your NDA against this before you upload.

To start, save your brand under “Brand” and build your next proposal in the free document, then open the finished proposal with “Use as template” for the client after.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is there a free AI presentation maker for freelancers?

Slaide has a free plan with one free document: it is planned up to 12 pages and the first 3 are built, with no credit card needed. A second document runs on credits or a paid plan, which as of October 2026 starts at 7.99 EUR a month. Paid plans export without the “Made with Slaide” mark.

### Can I use my own brand and logo in the editor?

Yes. The brand kit stores up to 5 brands, each with colors, fonts, a logo and a tone of voice, and it can read a brand from your website address. The active brand guides every new request, and an instruction in your brief always wins.

### Can my client edit the proposal in PowerPoint?

Yes. Export a .pptx with editable text boxes, shapes, pictures and tables. Use a font the client has, or send a PDF when the layout should stay fixed.

### How long does it take to build a proposal?

The plan comes first: the AI asks up to four questions, shows one card per slide and waits for your approval. A finished deck usually takes a few minutes after that, and research, images or complex pages take longer. Reserve time to check figures, names and prices before you send.

### Can I put client material under an NDA into Slaide?

Files are stored in the EU, AI requests go to language-model providers in the USA, and use of your content for training is excluded by contract. Check your NDA against this data path before you upload client material.
