-: Imagine you're working on a new presentation,
but instead of spending hours tweaking slides,
formatting text,
and copying and pasting content,
you just click a button and bam,
a fully-structured, professional-looking Google Slides deck
appears in seconds.
Today, we're diving
into how you can actually make that happen
using Google Apps Script and ChatGPT.
So if you wanna supercharge your slide creation,
stick around.
This is gonna be a game changer.
All right, let's jump in and get this automation rolling.
Open up Google Slides and start a new presentation.
Think of it as your blank canvas,
ready to be built in seconds.
Now let's bring in ChatGPT to generate our content
and make the magic happen by using this prompt:
generate a five-second presentation outline
on digital marketing trends in 2025.
Include slide titles
and two-to-three bullet points per slide.
Great, in just a few seconds,
we've got a solid foundation to build from.
Now, let's take the rough draft
and instantly turn it
into a fully-formatted Google Slides deck,
with content and visuals placed exactly where they belong.
We're gonna generate a script
that builds and formats our Google Slides for us,
automating the entire process
so everything is structured and visually on point.
No more manually designing each slide.
ChatGPT's got this.
First, let's put AI to work
and have it generate the content for our slides.
Generate a Google Apps script to create
a Google Slides presentation titled
Digital Marketing Trends 2025, with five slides.
Each slide should have a title
and two bullet points,
ensuring the layout
is well-structured with the title on top
and bullet points below.
Make sure the bullet points
are formatted properly in App Script.
Use the getTextStyle for styling text.
Its content should include the following information.
Then we will drop in the presentation outline
from earlier to keep everything flowing smoothly,
making sure the script formats our content
exactly how we planned.
No extra steps, no mess,
just a seamless transition
from outline to final slides.
In just a few moments,
ChatGPT has generated
a fully-functional script designed
to automate your slide creation.
This script will build
and format your Google Slides presentations,
ensuring each slide
is structured correctly with the right content in place.
Now it's time to bring the automation to life.
We'll open Google Slides,
access the App Script Editor
and paste in the script ChatGPT generated.
Once it's in place,
we'll save the project to Google Drive,
locking in our automation setup.
With just a few clicks, we're all set.
Now it's time to make this all work.
Click Run in the App Script Editor and let the magic begin.
A popup will request permissions.
Go ahead and grant them so the script can do this job.
Uh-oh, we hit an error, but no stress.
We can ask ChatGPT to fix it for us.
Just copy the error message in the execution log
into ChatGPT, then simply press Enter and watch
as ChatGPT cleans up the code for us.
Now we just copy the updated code from ChatGPT,
paste it into App Script and run it again.
This time, everything should work flawlessly.
Now, head over to Google Drive,
and just like clockwork,
a brand new presentation titled
Digital Marketing Trends 2025 will appear.
Open it up and there it is.
Five structured slides,
complete with headlines and bullet points.
This is the power of AI-driven automation in action.
With just a few steps,
ChatGPT and Google App Script handle everything,
eliminating the repetitive grunt work
and delivering a polished professional result in no time.
Now that your slides are generated,
it's time to enhance their visual appeal.
A polished presentation isn't just about the content.
It's about making sure the design complements your message.
To give your slides
a more cohesive and professional feel, let's apply a theme.
Open your newly-generated Google Slide presentation,
click Slide, then Change theme from the top menu.
A slide bar will appear
with a selection of pre-designed themes.
Scroll through and pick one that best suits your content,
ensuring readability and visual harmony,
giving it a refined and consistent look.
Now, let's make sure each slide is structured effectively.
Select a slide that might need better organization.
Click Slide, then Apply layout
and explore different options.
If the slide doesn't follow
the layout right away, no problem.
Just copy and paste the text
into the placeholder boxes and you're good to go.
Ensure text alignment and spacing
are optimized for clarity and easy readability.
A well-designed presentation doesn't just look good.
It improves comprehension and keeps your audience engaged.
Taking the extra step to refine your slides
with the right theme
and layout can make all the difference
in how your message is received.
With ChatGPT handling content
and Google Apps Script automating execution,
creating polished presentations has never been easier.
No more tedious formatting,
just sleek, professional slides in seconds.
Experiment with your scripts, refine your style,
and unlock a new level of efficiency.
