The list
Slaide
Our pickBest for: Founders who want a finished investor deck built from their actual narrative and numbers, free to start.
Builds a complete investor pitch deck from a description: problem, solution, market, traction, team, ask. The AI designs each slide from scratch for what an investor deck needs to communicate, not a filled template. Attach your financial model and Slaide pulls in the real numbers and charts. Click anything to refine the story.
Not ideal for: Per-viewer analytics (who opened which slide and for how long); Slaide shares a link and counts views, while Pitch or DocSend track each viewer.
Gamma
Best for: A quick first draft of a pitch from a written outline.
Fast prompt-to-deck creation with modern themes, useful for getting a first draft of a pitch on screen quickly. Worth knowing: free exports carry a watermark, credits are a one-time pool, and PowerPoint export can be lossy.
Not ideal for: A deck that must end up as a clean, fully editable PowerPoint file, since its PowerPoint export can be lossy.
Pitch
Best for: Teams sending and tracking pitch decks with prospects.
Strong for sales and team pitching: collaborative editing, tracked links and rooms let you see who viewed your deck and for how long. Pitch Agent can build a deck from a prompt on a template you pick, but its core is collaboration, sharing and tracking.
Not ideal for: Writing a finished deck from your notes and numbers without picking a template; Pitch is strongest at polishing, sharing and tracking.
Beautiful.ai
Best for: Keeping a polished, on-brand pitch consistent across many slides.
Smart Slides keep an investor deck visually consistent without manual layout, and live data connections suit recurring fundraising or sales updates. There's no permanent free plan, and the card-required trial converts automatically.
Not ideal for: Trying it without a card: there is no permanent free plan, and the trial converts automatically.
Canva
Best for: A template-led pitch deck you finish by hand.
A huge library of pitch-deck templates and the design tools to customise them by hand, with AI generation as one option. Good for a designed look on a budget; AI output leans toward template-fill rather than reasoning over your data.
Not ideal for: A deck whose argument is built from your financial model; AI output leans toward template-fill.

What is the best AI tool for making a pitch deck?
If you want the deck built from your actual model and notes, Slaide is the strongest fit and is free to start. Gamma is good for a fast first draft, while Pitch and Beautiful.ai are stronger for sharing and keeping a deck on-brand than for authoring it.
Can AI build a pitch deck from my financial model?
Slaide is built for this: it reads an Excel model alongside your notes and assets and builds the deck and its charts from them. Most prompt-first tools work better from written text than from raw numbers, so check how each handles spreadsheets before committing.
Which pitch deck tool is best for tracking who viewed my deck?
Pitch is the clearest choice for tracked links and viewer analytics, and Beautiful.ai also offers viewer insights. If your priority is authoring the deck from your data rather than tracking it, Slaide fits better.
