A baseline from 1,703 public consulting slides, and the same numbers built twice.Tue, 03 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMTMaximilian NitscheConsulting crafthttps://decky-ai.com/blog/how-to-write-action-titleshttps://decky-ai.com/blog/how-to-write-action-titlesAn action title states what the slide proves in one sentence, within two lines. Of 1,155 firm slide titles, 67% do it, and half of those pass 15 words.Tue, 03 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMTMaximilian NitscheConsulting crafthttps://decky-ai.com/blog/market-entry-strategy-deckhttps://decky-ai.com/blog/market-entry-strategy-deckRecommendation first, then the market screen, size of the prize, entry routes, business case, a roadmap with gates and the ask.

Ask for a slide, hand it your Excel file, have it build the whole deck or fill one from the Decky library, and get back a real PowerPoint file in your own template.Mon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTMaximilian NitscheProducthttps://decky-ai.com/blog/components-in-the-assets-tabhttps://decky-ai.com/blog/components-in-the-assets-tabA 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.Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTMaximilian NitscheProducthttps://decky-ai.com/blog/hand-drawn-sketch-to-slidehttps://decky-ai.com/blog/hand-drawn-sketch-to-slideA 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.Thu, 10 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTMaximilian NitscheConsulting crafthttps://decky-ai.com/blog/umbrex-ai-tools-for-consultantshttps://decky-ai.com/blog/umbrex-ai-tools-for-consultantsUmbrex 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.Mon, 07 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTMaximilian NitscheProducthttps://decky-ai.com/blog/three-versions-of-the-same-slidehttps://decky-ai.com/blog/three-versions-of-the-same-slideOn 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.Tue, 01 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTMaximilian NitscheProducthttps://decky-ai.com/blog/introducing-the-slide-libraryhttps://decky-ai.com/blog/introducing-the-slide-libraryEvery 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.Fri, 17 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTMaximilian NitscheProduct
