Folio

What it does

Folio is an AI agent that works directly inside PowerPoint and Google Slides to create, edit, and refine presentations in real time. It uses a proprietary simplification that converts the complexity of slide objects into a language AI can edit naturally, enabling faster and higher-quality results than other AI slide tools. Users can generate full decks from a prompt, modify existing slides, and upload reference files (logos, images, inspiration). All elements remain fully editable PowerPoint shapes, not static images.

Who it is for

Folio is tailored for consulting and strategy teams who need to produce polished, on-brand slide decks quickly. It is also suitable for any professional who regularly creates presentations in PowerPoint or Google Slides and wants to reduce manual formatting time. The tool requires no installation—it works as an add-in within the existing slide applications.

Why it matters

Creating professional slide decks is time-consuming, especially when maintaining brand consistency and complex layouts. Folio claims to be 6x faster than other AI copilots for slides, with a success rate benchmark (PrezEval) showing higher scores than Claude and other tools. By working directly in PowerPoint/Google Slides and preserving editability, it bridges the gap between AI generation and manual fine-tuning, potentially saving hours per deck.

Launch signal

Folio is currently live with a website offering a free trial and demo booking. It supports both PowerPoint and Google Slides, and an online version is available for users without those applications. The site includes example decks (e.g., Draghi Report Summary, McKinsey State of AI 2025) and a benchmark comparison. Enterprise features include bring-your-own API keys, GDPR compliance, SSO, and MFA.

Brand and naming

The name "Folio" suggests a portfolio or collection of slides, fitting for a presentation tool. The tagline "AI for decks where every slide counts" positions it as a premium, quality-focused solution for high-stakes business presentations. The brand emphasizes speed, editability, and enterprise readiness.
