Exceeds expectations, currently the top PPT creation tool...

Manus' newly launched slideshow feature is winning over professionals with its efficiency.

The recent addition of Google Slides export support has further boosted its appeal.

One user even tasked Manus with converting a research paper into a PPT (planned for submission to a scientific journal), and the results surpassed expectations!

A glance at one slide reveals clear highlights, diagrams, and data, exuding professionalism.

Has Manus truly broken the stereotype of "AI PPTs being more hype than utility" to become a real productivity tool?

Let's put it to the test.

Fast and Powerful in Testing

A quick note: Manus is now open for registration, offering new users 1000 credits plus 300 daily credits.

Creating a PPT consumes over 100 credits per task (so manage wisely ๐•ᴗ•๐).

First, visit Manus' website, enter your request in the dialog box—we asked it to generate a PPT introducing its own slideshow feature (meta, we know).

In just 10 minutes, Manus produced an 8-page PPT covering Manus Slides' overview, key technical highlights, and comparative analysis.

Here's a breakdown of its workflow:

Outlines the PPT structure and key points for each section.
Searches for relevant materials and official documentation.
Drafts content for each section.
Designs and generates HTML code for each slide.
Reviews and refines content and layout.
Delivers the final PPT file.

The code generation step took nearly 6 minutes, the longest part of the process.

Editing is seamless—click the top-right edit button for instant modifications with auto-save.

Once generated, the PPT can be exported as PPTX or PDF or saved directly to Google, ideal for team collaboration or remote work.

However, some users noted display issues in Google Slides due to oversized slides.

Our test confirmed this—both PPTX and Google Slides exports had incomplete displays, requiring manual adjustments.

Manus also allows converting slides into a permanently hosted website.

The site retains the PPT's core content and blue-white design while enhancing interactivity with features like navigation menus and smooth scrolling.

Our first impression after testing?

In summary, Manus excels in efficiency—no manual research needed, just input a prompt for highly customized output. Its design caters to user roles; for instance, assuming the user is an AI analyst, it emphasized simplicity and tech aesthetics.

It also transparently logs commands, allowing users to trace every step and code snippet.

With versatile export options and easy edits, it's a must-have tool for professionals. That said, issues like misaligned charts and blank slides during export remain.

Comparing Genspark

Before Manus' slideshow feature, Genspark, developed by ex-Baidu executives, gained attention for "converting a 5-hour YouTube video into a 10-page PPT."

Naturally, users compared the two, with many favoring Manus.

I think Manus is currently No.1.

So, we tested Genspark with the same task: creating a PPT about its own slideshow feature.

It took 20 minutes (twice as long as Manus), and the result:

Genspark first scraped extensive online data:

Then outlined a 9-page PPT:

It supports fact-checking, editing, and exports to PPTX/PDF (no Google Slides yet). However, display issues were more pronounced than Manus'.

Unsurprisingly, users on Genspark's Japanese account are requesting export fixes.

Genspark offers a free trial with 200 daily credits (one task exhausted them all).
