SlideWareBear is a simple way to make a slide deck. You tell an AI chatbot what you want your slides to cover, it writes them for you, and you can show the result on screen or save it as a PDF. No account, no design work, and everything stays on your own computer.

❖What it does

Most slide tools ask you to place every text box, pick every font, and line everything up yourself. SlideWareBear works differently. You provide the ideas, and an AI writes the words and arranges the layout, so you end up with a clean, finished deck.

You can use whichever AI chatbot you prefer, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot. SlideWareBear writes a set of instructions for it, the chatbot builds your deck, and you paste the result back into the app.

✦Making a deck with AI

Follow these four steps:

1. Click the ✦ Generate with AI button at the top. This copies a set of instructions to your clipboard.
2. Open your AI chatbot, paste the instructions in, and then tell it what your slides should cover. There are a few ways to do this, shown below.
3. The chatbot writes the deck and gives it back to you. Copy its response.
4. Return to SlideWareBear and paste it into the large box on the left. Your slides appear on the right.

Telling the AI what to cover

You can describe your slides to the chatbot in a few different ways:

To change a slide, tell the chatbot what you want different (for example, "make slide 3 shorter" or "add a closing slide"), then copy its new version and paste it back in. Repeat until the deck looks right.

▤What your slides can include

Your slides are not limited to bullet points. When you ask, the chatbot can also build:

• Section dividers and large statement slides to break up a longer talk.
• Two columns side by side, which work well for comparisons.
• Quotes, with the person or source credited underneath.
• Simple diagrams and flowcharts, for showing a process or how things connect.
• Code samples, if you are giving a technical talk.
• Math and scientific notation, such as equations, exponents, and Greek letters, for science and technical talks. They look the same on screen and in the saved PDF.
• Speaker notes, which are private notes for you as the presenter that do not appear on the slide.

Just ask for what you need, for example "add a flowchart of the steps," "write Einstein's equation as math," or "put speaker notes on each slide."

▭What you're looking at

The screen is split in two. The left side holds the text of your deck. The right side shows the finished slides. When you change the text, the slides update right away, so you can always see the result.

Just above the slides is a small View bar with two options: Inline editing, for changing slides by clicking on them, and Deck Outline, for rearranging your slides. Both are explained below.

If you type something the app cannot read, a short message appears at the bottom of the left side and explains the problem.

✎Editing your slides

You can fine-tune a finished deck by hand in two ways, and you can mix them freely.

Edit right on the slide

Click a title, a line of text, or a bullet on a slide and type to change it. Hover over a picture to swap it out or adjust how it sits, and hover over a block of content to get small buttons that move it up or down or remove it. Everything you change is saved into your deck as you go.

These on-slide handles are controlled by the Inline editing switch on the View bar above the slides. Leave it on to edit directly on your slides, or turn it off any time you would rather see a clean, uncluttered preview. The text on the left keeps working either way.

Edit the text on the left

You can also edit the plain list of your slides on the left. Click into it and type to fix a word or a typo, and the slides update as you go.

☰Rearranging slides

Click Deck Outline on the View bar above the slides to open a strip of slide thumbnails alongside your deck. From there you can:

• Reorder - drag a slide up or down to move it.
• Duplicate - make a copy of a slide to tweak.
• Delete - remove a slide you don't need.
• Add - insert a new slide and choose its layout (a title, content, two columns, a section divider, or a quote).
• Jump - click any thumbnail to scroll straight to that slide.

Close the outline with the ✕ at the top of the strip, or by clicking Deck Outline again. As with editing, Ctrl+Z undoes a move or a deletion.

◐Changing the look

Use the Theme picker at the top to switch between different looks, including corporate, colorful, dark, and minimal styles. Click through them to preview each one on your slides, and keep the one that fits your talk.

For finer control, open the Design menu at the top and choose Colors & fonts. A panel slides out where you can adjust the accent and background colors and pick the body and heading fonts, with the slides updating as you go; click Apply to deck to keep your changes. You can also ask the chatbot to use your own brand colors and add your logo to every slide. Either way, that styling stays with the deck.

Using a different font

The font comes from the theme you pick, and a few themes use a classic serif or a bold modern font for the headings. To change it yourself, open Design → Colors & fonts and pick a body and heading font - there are a clean everyday font (the standard), a classic serif, and a bold display font. You can also just ask the chatbot, for example "use a serif font." Whatever you choose travels with the deck and shows up in the saved PDF too.

▣Adding pictures

There are three ways to add a photo or logo. Open the Design menu at the top and choose Images to pick pictures from your computer, drag a picture onto the left side, or copy a picture and paste it in. SlideWareBear resizes each image to fit the slide so it is not stretched or blurry.

Sometimes the AI leaves a labeled blank space where a picture should go. You will see a placeholder on the slide. Click it, or drop a picture onto it, to fill the space. To change a picture that's already there, hover over it on the slide and use the buttons that appear to swap it out or adjust how it fits.

⧉Reusing and sharing decks

If you make a lot of decks, you do not have to start from scratch each time. Open the Design menu at the top and choose Templates to see your options.

• Start from a ready-made template. Pick one of the built-in starters (a sales pitch, a lecture, or a status update) and edit it to suit your needs.
• Save your own deck as a template. Turn a deck you like into a reusable starting point. On the website it is remembered in your browser, and you can also download it as a file.
• Share it with others. Send that file to a coworker so everyone starts from the same design. Your colors and logo travel with it.

↧Saving and reopening

Open the File menu at the top and choose Save deck to store your entire deck, including its pictures, in a single file on your computer. Choose Open deck to load that file again and continue where you left off. This file is your saved copy, so keep it somewhere safe.

If you use the website version instead of the downloaded one, it also remembers your recent decks automatically, so your work is ready when you return.

▶Presenting your deck

When you're ready to present, click ▶ Present at the top (or press F5). Your deck fills the screen and you get a presenter view made for speaking from.

It shows you, in one place:

• The slide you're on now, large.
• A preview of the next slide, so you can speak into what's coming.
• Your speaker notes for this slide, in large, easy-to-read text.
• A timer and a clock, to help you keep to time.

Move through the slides with the arrow keys, the space bar, by clicking, or with a presentation remote. Press ? to see every shortcut, and Esc to leave.

Showing it to an audience

Your notes and timer are just for you - the audience should see only the slides. There are two ways to do that:

• One screen. Press F for full screen, then use Audience view (or the T key) to flip the screen between your private dashboard and a clean, slides-only view.
• A projector or a video call. Click Open audience window. A separate, slides-only window opens and stays in step with you. Drag it onto a projector - or, in a call like Teams, Zoom, or Meet, share just that one window. The audience sees only the slides while your notes stay in front of you.

↓Getting a PDF

When the deck is ready, click Export PDF. You will get a widescreen PDF that looks the same on any computer, which is useful for emailing, printing, or presenting. The text stays selectable, so others can copy from it if they need to.

◆Is my stuff private?

The only time your computer connects to the internet is when you paste a link to an online picture, because it has to load that picture to display it.
