Interview cooperation:Vidwud
Businessmen and creative people, are you busy creating documents in PowerPoint today?
I create the structure and text from scratch in PowerPoint, then embellish it...
Aren't you a little tired of this everyday life?
It's always sad when a PowerPoint proposal document that you've worked so hard on is rejected.
I think that's when you suddenly feel tired.
Why not try using generative AI to make your days a little easier?
And it's not just AI.It is an AI that can create PowerPoint presentations.
Leave it to us to create PowerPoint drafts! "Vidwud"
What is this app?This is a generative AI app that allows you to create PowerPoint presentation materials using text prompts.
This is a web app, so you can create documents anytime, anywhere as long as you have a device. However, we are still in the process of implementing various features every day, so this app will continue to grow rapidly.
However, there seems to have been a silent update recently, which made the AI smarter.
This is a service that we can look forward to in the future.
Oh, I forgot to mention something important.
this,It's completely free.It is unclear what will happen in the future, but I don't think there is any other app that has all these functions and is as easy to use as PowerPoint.
The app is called "Vidwud" and is a service that helps you overcome PowerPoint fatigue.
So, let's do a quick review.
- People who want to quickly create a PowerPoint draft
- Those who think that a PowerPoint compatible service is sufficient
- For those who are not subscribed to Office 365 (alternatives)
- People who want to use stock photos
Simple is best! Create slides in minutes.
First, go to the official Vidwud website.
https://jp.vidwud.com/
When you access the site, a prompt screen will appear immediately, allowing you to enter the information you want to include in your slides.However, currently there is a character limit of 256 characters in Japanese.Therefore, it is best to keep in mind that you are just making a draft version, and limit the prompt to a summary or outline of the project's intentions. If this restriction is released, you will be able to pack in more text with a plot, so this is something to look forward to in the future.
By the way, at this stage there seems to be a limit to the number of times you can create one per day, so please be aware that after trying several times it no longer works.
I would like to create a PowerPoint presentation that conveys the history of Suzaku Sake Brewery, a sake brewery in Sakaiminato, Tottori Prefecture, and how they should approach overseas markets in the future.
*Please make good use of photos of Suzaku's Daiginjo and other fine sakes, with a photo of Mt. Daisen seen from the sea at Kaike Onsen in the background.
Below are details of what we want to include:
Currently, the popularity of sake in overseas markets is increasing, and exports are increasing year by year. In order to capture this trend, we will summarize the overseas strategies that Suzaku Shuzo should adopt.
*Please create a slide template with the following content.
By the way, what I typed into the prompt this time was a PowerPoint presentation about a strategy for a fictional sake brewery to expand overseas in order to overcome the declining demand in Japan.
Select the number of slides and purpose on the toolbar.
I chose 8 slides and the setting "Business Plan."
By the way, the prompt examples lined up at the bottom of the screen contain simple one-line prompts such as "How to create an effective presentation," "Basics of social media management," "New business plan," "Writing meeting minutes," and "Sales performance analysis." You can choose the appropriate one from here to create your own prompt.
Once you have decided on the prompt, click the "Generate now for free" button to generate it.
Then, an outline is proposed. I was impressed with the structure of the flow. It's really helpful to have a structure proposed.
If there are no problems, click the "Next" button.
Next, you can decide the theme color of your PowerPoint presentation here. *You can change it later.
Dark color themes are also available, allowing you to create impactful PowerPoint presentations.
Once you have decided on a theme, click "Create Now."
Things are going pretty well and it's only taken about three minutes to get to this point.
Powerpoint presentation generated by Vidwud
This concludes the PowerPoint presentation created by the generation AI.
As you can see, even with few prompts, the pagination is good and the draft version can be brought to the final version with a little tweaking on each slide. The decoration of each slide is also tasteful and looks very good. If there is some variation, it will be a unique design. No, I hope so.
Edit the draft PowerPoint presentation to make it into a final version.
The PowerPoint presentations created by the AI-generated presentations are just drafts, so they are not meant to be used as is. (In the future, I think we will be able to create the final version using only text prompts.) Therefore, at this stage, we will be brushing up the presentations in two ways.
The PowerPoint presentation generated by Vidwud can be downloaded in pptx format. So the first thing to do is to draft it in this app and then bring it to completion in PowerPoint. The second thing to do is to use the editing function of the Vidwud app to bring it to completion. This is really easy to use.
I believe that UI is the most important aspect of this type of app, so no matter how functional an app is, if the UI is bad, I won't accept it. In that respect, Vidwud has a neat toolbar, so you can see at a glance where everything is. (Even if you don't know where it is, it will tell you by hovering your mouse over it → this is important)
So I was able to edit quickly.
And it's easy to insert images.
Select "Images" from the top toolbar to display stock photos. Vidwud has a large number of stock photos, which is sure to be a very powerful tool for creating presentation materials. Is this really a free app? There are elements here and there that make me wish the original PowerPoint was like this.
Let's actually apply a stock photo image.
The image was applied like this. I made the text white and added a drop shadow effect. It's been polished up a bit. Of course, you can also change the order of the images.
However, one thing that bothered me about working with images was that you couldn't scale the image while keeping its ratio fixed. I'd love to see this addressed, so I'm looking forward to it being updated in the future.
Of course, you can also create a new slide manually. You can create a new slide from an existing template or a blank pattern. In this case, you can select an existing template and create a new slide.
By the way, you can freely rearrange the pagination on the left.
The operation is very light and easy to handle. It feels good.
I actually exported the slides in PowerPoint format and imported them into PowerPoint. (Currently, only pptx format is supported. PDF support is also being considered for the future.) This kind of pattern may look good on the web, but when you actually import it into PowerPoint, the layout often falls apart and compatibility is poor, but with Vidwud, all I had to do was replace the font (Gothic → Mincho).
No other layout issues were observed.
I think you can use this with confidence.
About other functions
The text toolbar and the top toolbar are very simple and easy to see. If you are used to PowerPoint, the slightly cluttered toolbars can be quite annoying.
Right-click to use functions such as stacking and alignment.
It is functional down to the smallest details and extremely comfortable.
This is also a slide that I created from scratch.
To be honest, if I can create slides with this level of perfection, I don't have many expectations. It's almost the same as creating slides with PowerPoint.
However, one thing that bothered me was that the range of text selection was quite large. Because of this, I couldn't select the bars in the background, and I had to shift the text to copy it. I'd like this to be fixed.
By the way, it seems that you can create at least 30 pages of slides, which is enough to create a full-fledged presentation document.
When you press the "Theme" button at the top of the screen, 10 different themes will appear, allowing you to instantly change to your favorite color theme.
Summary
Conclusion
Powerpoint draft,
Comfortable for draft production!
※You can take it all the way to the finish
To be honest, I didn't think it would be this good. There are still some areas that are immature, but I think in another year it will appear before us as a fairly complete product.
It was such an easy-to-use app.
Looking back on this review, I have summarized what was good and what could be improved.
- The AI seems pretty good, able to generate rough drafts with just a few quick prompts.
- The editing features are so comprehensive that it's hard to believe it's a free app.
- The materials you create can be exported in pptx format.
- Even when opened in PowerPoint, the layout remains almost unchanged.
- The fine details can be operated comfortably without any frustration.
- Anyone familiar with PowerPoint can get started right away.
- There is an auto-save feature for those who like to work on things.
- The number of characters allowed in the prompt text field is too short.
- It is not possible to expand or shrink while maintaining the ratio.
- You cannot move an object in place by dragging it while holding down the Shift key.
- The variety of shapes is a little lacking. It would be nice to have clouds, speech bubbles, and double-enclosed shapes.
- On the other hand, it might be interesting if there was a PowerPoint import function.
- I would like there to be more variations so that the templates don't overlap with other people's.
When I actually used it, I was impressed by how the operation method was very simple and streamlined. There was no way to get lost. It was comfortable and light. I hope that this aspect will be maintained even if the app is improved in the future. I'm happy to have found such a good service.
