Step 2: Access Length Settings

After selecting your presentation method (from a topic or document), look for the “Auto Length” button in the prompt area.

Step 3: Choose Your Preferred Length

Clicking the length button will open a menu with several options:

  • Automatic: Let the AI decide the optimal number of slides based on your content.
  • Short: Generates 3-8 slides, perfect for quick summaries.
  • Informative: Generates 8-12 slides, ideal for standard presentations.
  • Detailed: Generates 12+ slides for comprehensive coverage.
  • Custom: Manually enter the exact number of slides you want (e.g., 15 or 20 slides).
