How do I add charts and infographics to my AI presentation?
✨ Great news! SlideSpeak now fully supports charts and infographics in your AI-generated presentations!
You can add various chart types including bar charts, column charts, line charts, pie charts, donut charts, and more. There are two ways to add charts to your SlideSpeak presentations:
Method 1: Using the Chart Button (Manual)
The quickest way to add a chart is through the chart icon in the bottom toolbar of the presentation editor.
Step 1: Open your presentation
Navigate to your presentation in SlideSpeak. You’ll see the main editor with your slides on the left and the editing area in the center.
Step 2: Click the Chart icon
Look at the bottom toolbar in the editor. Click on the chart icon (second from last in the toolbar). This will open the chart type selection menu.
Step 3: Choose your chart type
Select from the available chart types:
- Column chart – Vertical bars for comparing categories
- Stacked chart – Shows parts of a whole across categories
- Bar chart – Horizontal bars for easy comparison
- Line chart – Shows trends over time
- Pie chart – Displays proportions of a whole
- Donut chart – Like pie chart with a hollow center
Step 4: Customize your chart
After adding a chart, you can customize it using the toolbar that appears above the chart. Click “Edit data” to modify the chart values, or use “Options” to adjust the chart appearance.
Method 2: Using the AI Assistant
You can also ask the AI Assistant to create charts for you. Simply describe what kind of chart you want, and the AI will generate it automatically.
Step 1: Open the AI Assistant
Click on the AI Assistant button in the right panel. You’ll see a text input where you can type your request.
Step 2: Describe the chart you want
Type a request like “Add a bar chart showing quarterly sales data” or “Create a pie chart of market share percentages”. The AI will understand your request and create an appropriate chart.
Step 3: Review and customize
The AI will add the chart to your slide. You can then click on the chart to customize it further – change the data, colors, or chart type as needed.
