Gemini in Google Slides can now edit a whole presentation from one prompt
Gemini in Google Slides can now change many slides, or a whole deck, from one request in the side panel. Google says Gemini decides which slides need to change and edits the real slides, so you can keep editing them by hand. The rollout started on October 29 and can take more than 15 days to reach everyone.
Google lists four kinds of change: restyle fonts, backgrounds and colors across the deck; rewrite or refocus content using your files in Google Drive; merge or add slides; and make titles and other formatting consistent. When Gemini finishes, it shows a summary of what it changed. You can undo the edits or use version history.
It works in English only at launch. It is in Business Standard and Plus, Enterprise Standard and Plus, Google AI Pro and Ultra, and Google AI Pro for Education. There is no admin setting for it. Google gives higher limits for it through at least December 1. After that, per-user limits apply.
What it means for your work
- Reused decks: Point Gemini at a newer file in Drive and ask it to update the deck from it, instead of fixing slides one by one.
- Brand changes: Ask it to match the style of a reference deck.
- Check the result: Read the change summary, then check every number and name against your source before you present. Version history lets you go back.
