Google has announced that Gemini can redesign entire presentations in Google Slides. In one test, the feature did not appear to be available in Slides, so the presentation was uploaded directly to the Gemini chatbot instead.
The test used a school presentation about perspective drawing. Its original slides were described as colorful and fun, though amateurish. Gemini’s first redesign looked more polished, but it also introduced a formal teaching structure, including learning objectives, sections on spatial depth and architectural techniques, and a two-week project timeline.
The redesigned slides added instructional material and reorganized the lesson. Terms such as “Architectural Precision” and “Progressive Interval Spacing” appeared in the deck, making it feel more like a professional design course than an art project for children. The experiment’s author said this went beyond improving the layout and changed the presentation’s tone and purpose.
The prompt had asked Gemini to make the deck look professionally designed while preserving its factual information and keeping the slides editable. The author later asked the chatbot to make the result fun and appropriate for young students. Gemini said it would create a more vibrant, welcoming style, but the second version largely retained the first redesign, with somewhat friendlier fonts and wording. Many of the original visual elements were still gone.
The test suggests that Gemini can give a presentation a more consistent, professional appearance, but may not preserve the qualities that suit its audience. In this case, the redesign made a children’s art lesson feel more formal, despite a follow-up request to restore its playful character.
