Roona in PowerPoint: the AI that builds your slides in your own file

A pane to the right of your slides. Roona reads the open presentation, adds slides, places text, images and tables, applies your colours, and refreshes an old deck without starting from scratch.

A presentation rarely takes your time on the substance: it is the layout that eats it. Aligning boxes, finding an image, redoing the colours across twelve slides, adding a summary slide the night before. An AI PowerPoint generator in a browser tab hands you one more file; Roona works in the one that is open. It opens as a pane, reads the structure of the presentation and the active slide, then acts: it creates slides from an outline, adds one between two others, writes the text in the placeholders, places a table, a shape or an image, changes a background or a colour. You describe the presentation, the slide or the tweak, in plain English, the way you would say it to a colleague. It can even render a slide as an image to judge the balance and fix whatever overflows. Every block remains an ordinary PowerPoint object, which you move and edit as usual.

What it actually looks like

You ask: Add three slides on our method after slide 4: site visit, quote, works.

Roona delivers: Three slides inserted after the fourth, in the file’s theme, each with a heading and a short text. You read them over, you adjust.

You ask: Here’s my eight-point outline, make it the presentation for Thursday’s board meeting, twenty minutes.

Roona delivers: A title slide, one per point, a summary at the end: ten slides built in your file, with a short text per slide to fit the twenty minutes, ready to be tweaked.

You ask: Put a table of the three packages with price and lead time on this slide, to the right of the text.

Roona delivers: A PowerPoint table placed on the right, in the theme colours, with a header row. You fill in the cells, or you give Roona the figures.

You ask: Find a photo of a joinery workshop for the title slide.

Roona delivers: An image found and placed on the title slide, where you point. You can ask for another if this one is not to your taste.

You ask: Refresh this 2023 presentation: rewrite the text, remove anything about the old offer, bring back our colours.

Roona delivers: Text rewritten slide by slide, the outdated slides proposed for deletion (you confirm each one), backgrounds and headings brought back to your current colours.

You ask: This slide is too crowded, lighten it.

Roona delivers: Roona exports the slide as an image, sees what overflows, shortens the text, and offers to move the surplus onto a following slide, which it adds if you say yes.

You ask: Change the background of the Results section slides to navy blue, white text.

Roona delivers: The background of the slides concerned goes navy, the text white, without touching the other sections. You judge, you adjust a shade if need be.

You ask: The 2025 turnover from our annual report, on the Results slide.

Roona delivers: Roona looks it up in your company memory, writes it into the text box on the Results slide and tells you which document it came from.

New slides in an existing file

Your presentation is there, and three slides on your method are missing. Say so: they are added where you want them, in the file’s theme, with headings and text already written. A transition slide between two sections, a closing slide: the same thing, in one sentence. You then reorder them with a word.

From outline to presentation

Give an outline, or a subject and the time you have: Roona creates the run of slides in one go, one per idea, rather than a pile of bullet points. A title slide, sections, a summary to finish. The outline can be pasted as is, as a list, or described in three sentences.

The visuals too

An image found and placed where you want it, a table for the figures, a shape to highlight a point, a text box for a quote. Roona places, you adjust: every element moves and resizes like any PowerPoint object.

Your colours, your fonts

Roona works in your file, so in your theme. Ask it to apply your blue to the headings, change the background of a section, harmonise the text size across all the slides: it changes the fill of the shapes, the text formatting and the slide backgrounds.

Refresh an old deck

A 2023 presentation that needs bringing up to date: Roona reads the whole structure, rewrites the dated text, deletes the unneeded slides once you agree, reorders, and applies your current colours across the lot. You confirm each deletion: nothing disappears over a misunderstanding.

Roona looks at the result

Roona can export a slide as an image to see what it really looks like: a heading that overflows, a table that is too cramped, a badly placed image. It is not working blind on a list of blocks. Useful before sending a file to a client, or five minutes before the meeting.

How it works

  1. Install the add-in from the Integrations page in Roona: an address to copy and a step-by-step guide for PowerPoint on Windows, on Mac or on the web. The same account as on Roona.
  2. Open your presentation, or an empty presentation on your template, then open the pane. If your request concerns a particular slide, display it or select the block in question.
  3. Describe what you want: an outline to turn into slides, a slide to add, text to rewrite, an image or a table to place, colours to bring back.
  4. The slides are built in front of you. You read them over, move a block, ask for a tweak. Deleting a slide always waits for your confirmation.

Frequently asked questions

Does Roona make whole PowerPoint decks, or only tweaks?

Both. From an outline or a subject, Roona creates the full run of slides in the open file. In an existing presentation, it adds, rewrites, reorders and formats. For a complete deck produced without opening PowerPoint, Roona’s presentation generator does it from the app, on the same subscription. They are two tools for two moments: the file to create, and the file to keep alive.

What exactly does the pane read in my presentation?

The structure of the presentation, slide by slide, the active slide, its content and whatever you have selected. Roona can also export a slide as an image to look at it as you will see it on screen. It does not read the other files on your drive.

Do the added slides look like the rest of my presentation?

They are created in your file, so with its layouts, its fonts and its colours. If a new slide looks out of place, say so: Roona adjusts the fill, the text or the background to bring it into line with the others. The pane does not replace your template: it works inside it.

Can Roona find images for me?

Yes. Describe what you are looking for, and Roona finds an image and places it on the slide where you want it. It also places tables, shapes and text boxes, which you then move like any PowerPoint object.

What does Roona do with an old deck?

Roona reads it in full, slide by slide, and tells you what is dated. Then it rewrites the text, deletes what no longer serves (after your confirmation), reorders and applies your current colours. You keep the framework, you lose the evening spent updating it. If you want to keep the original version, duplicate the file first: it works in the one that is open.

Can Roona turn an outline into slides?

Yes: paste the outline into the pane, or describe the subject, the audience and the speaking time. Roona creates one slide per point, with a heading and a short text, plus a title slide and a summary. You then adjust the number and the order, and ask for one more slide on the point that deserves detail.

Can I reorganise, add or delete slides with Roona?

Yes. Adding a slide at a precise spot, moving one, deleting one: all of it is asked for in one sentence. Deletion goes through a confirmation in the pane, so that a badly worded request does not cost you a slide.

Does Roona use my documents to fill the slides?

If you have dropped them into your company memory, yes: Roona looks up a figure in your report, a reference in your brochure, writes it into the slide and tells you which document it came from. Otherwise it works from what you type in the pane.

Which versions of PowerPoint?

PowerPoint on Windows, PowerPoint on Mac and PowerPoint on the web. The installation guide covers all three, and the pane is the same.

Are my presentations private?

Only what you submit to the pane is transmitted, encrypted, to servers located in Europe. Your presentations are never used to train an AI model. You can remove the add-in whenever you like, your files stay as they are.
