ChatGPT Slides lets teams build and edit presentations together, with ChatGPT as a co-editor
OpenAI's new Slides feature turns a conversation, files or an outline into a deck your team can edit at the same time. You can @mention ChatGPT in comments to request changes, then export to PowerPoint, PDF or Google Slides.

Key points
- Arrived with the October 16, 2026, ChatGPT update
- For ChatGPT Pro, Business and Enterprise plans with Space access
- Teammates can edit the same deck at once and @mention ChatGPT in comments
- Export to PowerPoint, PDF or Google Slides; open in PowerPoint or Keynote from the desktop app
AI tools that make slides aren't new. What OpenAI is adding with ChatGPT Slides is the part that usually happens after the first draft: a whole team editing the deck together, with ChatGPT working alongside them.
Slides arrived with ChatGPT's October 16 update.
Who can use ChatGPT Slides?
Slides is available on ChatGPT Pro, Business and Enterprise plans that have access to Space, the shared workspace where the collaboration happens. OpenAI's release notes say it's rolling out to eligible users, so it may not appear on every account at once.
How to make a deck
You can start a presentation from:
- a conversation you've already had,
- uploaded files,
- an outline,
- an example deck, if you want ChatGPT to copy its style and layout.
From Space, choose Create, then Slide, or simply ask ChatGPT to build one.
Working on it as a team
This is the main difference from one-shot slide generators:
- Teammates with edit access can change the same deck at the same time.
- Everyone can leave shared comments.
- You can @mention ChatGPT in a comment to ask for edits, for example to tighten a slide or rework a chart.
One limitation at launch: comment-only access isn't available, so you can't invite someone to comment without also letting them edit.

Getting your slides out
| Where | Options |
|---|---|
| Web | Export to PowerPoint, PDF or Google Slides |
| Desktop app | Open the deck in PowerPoint or Keynote |
On Windows machines missing a required component, the desktop app falls back to creating a regular PowerPoint (.pptx) file instead of a collaborative deck.
Why it matters
Presentations are one of the most common office chores, and they're usually a group effort. Building the AI into the shared document, rather than having one person generate slides and paste them around, is the same direction Google is taking with its Gemini agent inside Workspace and Microsoft with Copilot. Choosing an AI tool for work is increasingly about which suite your team already lives in.
Slides joins a string of ChatGPT updates this month, including GPT-6 with Intelligent UI and locked chats.
