# Pretty for PowerPoint

> An AI deck assistant that lives inside PowerPoint. It researches, drafts slides and charts, and assembles full decks on your firm's template.

Pretty is an add-in that puts an AI assistant in a task pane next to your slides. You describe
what you need, and it builds native PowerPoint shapes on the deck you already have open:
editable text, real charts, real freeform shapes, never a flat image pasted onto a slide.

Because Pretty inherits the master of the deck you are working in, what it produces comes out
in your firm's colours, fonts and layouts.

<Note>
  These docs cover the **PowerPoint add-in**. The web editor is in beta and is documented
  separately once it ships.

## What makes it different

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Everything it inserts is native PowerPoint" icon="shapes">
    Charts are real charts. Maps are freeform region shapes you can recolour district by
    district. Logos and icons are vectors. You can select any of it, nudge it, restyle it, or
    hand it to a colleague who has never heard of Pretty.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="It follows your firm's visual system" icon="palette">
    Pretty reads the master of the deck you are in, so colours, fonts, shapes and placeholder
    layouts come from your template rather than a generic theme. Upload your approved decks as
    a [slide pool](/slide-pools/overview) and it will reuse those layouts too.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="You choose the model" icon="cpu">
    Switch the model behind any chat at any time. Workspaces can also
    [bring their own provider key](/admin/model-providers) (OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Google AI
    Studio or a LiteLLM proxy) so requests run on your own account.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Chats run in parallel" icon="layers">
    Open several chats and build several slides at once. Each chat keeps its own history, model
    and context.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
