PowerPoint may soon be facing match point. People have been predicting the death of presentation software for decades, but AI strategist Peter Gostev<\/a> reignited the debate last week with a LinkedIn post declaring \u201cGoogle Slides & PowerPoint are dead,\u201d according to LinkedIn News<\/a>.<\/p>\n Why? The argument is that AI can now build interactive, web-based presentations from a simple prompt. Anthropic\u2019s Claude Design<\/a> turns a rough outline into an on-brand deck that exports as standalone HTML, as well as PowerPoint. Microsoft is fighting back by building AI editing directly into PowerPoint<\/a>, and says new-user retention for the feature jumped 36%.<\/p>\n But some business owners are hungry for a new way to communicate. AI coach Braydon Carter<\/a> says entrepreneurs at a recent mastermind asked him to teach them how he builds his presentations as websites using AI coding tools.<\/p>\n Not everyone is a fan. Skeptics point out that HTML decks are hard to edit without AI, and some corporate email filters block HTML attachments. E-Tabs founder Benjamin Rietti<\/a> doesn\u2019t think PowerPoint is going anywhere. What\u2019s dying, he says, is \u201cthe old way of producing those decks\u201d: the late nights, endless copying and pasting, and last-minute number checks.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n PowerPoint may soon be facing match point.
