The latest from Decky AI
Components: the blocks every consulting deck is built from
A three-column comparison, a 2x2, an insight panel down the right side, a KPI row, a CAGR arrow over the bars. The same blocks appear in every deck and get rebuilt by hand every time. Decky AI now generates them straight into your slide, in your template's own type and colours, as native PowerPoint shapes you can still edit.
Three ways a picture becomes a slide: your sketch, the whiteboard, a layout you liked
A drawing, a photographed whiteboard, a layout you saw somewhere and want to build like. All three are the same move: attach the picture, and the arrangement is rebuilt as a slide with native charts, an action title that stays a sentence, and your own template doing the styling.
Decky AI is now part of Umbrex's AI Tools for Consultants
Umbrex curates an AI tool directory for a network of independent consultants who mostly came out of McKinsey, BCG and Bain. That is a demanding audience to be listed in front of, and it is a useful way to talk about the standard a slide tool has to meet.
Three versions of the same slide, and why you only ever build one
On paper you draw a page three ways in two minutes and the right one is obvious. In PowerPoint the second version costs what the first one cost, so it never gets built. Versions makes Decky AI build two or three takes of the same slide at once, side by side, and you keep the one that works.
Introducing the Slide Library: stop rebuilding the slide someone already made
Every firm loses its best slides inside old decks, because finding one is slower than making it again. The Slide Library saves any slide with its styling intact, describes it for you, searches it by meaning rather than file name, and drops it into your current deck on the current template.
