How to Create and Collaborate on Slides in ChatGPT

OpenAI rolled out ChatGPT Slides on 16 October 2026. Eligible Pro, Business, and Enterprise users with Space access can now build presentations inside ChatGPT, revise them with the model, and co-edit the same deck with teammates in real time.

This guide covers the official flow from OpenAI’s Help Center. You start from a conversation, uploaded files, or an outline. You edit directly or ask ChatGPT for changes. Then you present from ChatGPT or export to PowerPoint, PDF, or Google Slides.

What ChatGPT Slides does

ChatGPT Slides turns a prompt or source material into an editable presentation that lives in Space. You can refine text, images, shapes, and charts yourself, or hand the revision to ChatGPT. Teammates join the same deck, leave comments, and edit together. On the web you export to PowerPoint, PDF, or Google Slides. In the desktop app you open the deck in PowerPoint or Keynote when those apps are installed.

The feature is rolling out gradually. If you do not see it, your account may not have access yet. Windows devices without the required MXC component fall back to PowerPoint (.pptx) files for local AI creation and editing instead of collaborative Slides.

Who can use it

ChatGPT Slides is available to eligible accounts on the Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans that have Space access. Free, Go, and Plus plans are not listed in the initial rollout. Space is the shared workspace where you and ChatGPT build pages, documents, and presentations together.

Confirm your plan and Space access first. Then check the web or desktop app. If the Create > Slide option or the Work prompt for a presentation does not appear, wait for the rollout to reach your account.

Create a presentation

You have two main starting points.

Ask ChatGPT in Work

Open Work. Describe the topic, audience, and material. Attach source files or point to an existing conversation. ChatGPT returns an editable presentation you open in Space. If you prompt directly for a file, it can also hand back a PowerPoint or Google Slides version.

Example prompt: “Create a six-slide project update for the leadership team. Cover progress, risks, and next steps. Use only the facts in the attached notes. Match the style of our existing quarterly deck.”

Start in Space

In Space select Create > Slide. Begin with a blank slide or choose a template. You can also share an example deck so ChatGPT follows its layout and visual style.

Both paths produce a deck you can edit immediately. Review every claim, number, and chart before you share it.

Edit and collaborate

Once the deck is open you have two editing modes. Change text, images, shapes, and charts directly. Or type a request such as “Tighten the executive summary” or “Add a risks slide after the market overview and keep the existing style.” ChatGPT can also generate custom images or insert ones you upload.

Invite teammates to the same deck. They edit in real time and leave shared comments. Tag ChatGPT in a comment to revise wording, update a chart, or address feedback. Sharing a page does not give others access to your private chats or Memory; only the content written on the page is visible to viewers.

On Windows without the MXC component the collaborative Slides experience is replaced by PowerPoint files, so co-editing happens in the desktop app or after export.

Present and export

Present directly from ChatGPT. On the web export the deck to PowerPoint (.pptx), PDF, or Google Slides. In the desktop app open the deck in PowerPoint or Keynote when those applications are installed on your computer.

After export open the file and check formatting, charts, and any generated images. ChatGPT can make mistakes, so verify facts and numbers before the deck leaves your team.

Tips for cleaner decks

Start with a clear audience and decision. Name the number of slides and the sections you need. Attach the source material instead of relying on memory. Share an example deck when brand consistency matters.

Ask ChatGPT to outline the structure before it generates full slides. Request that it flag missing facts rather than invent them. After the first draft, edit one section at a time and confirm each change.

Keep sensitive data out of shared Space pages unless every viewer is authorized. Review the final export in PowerPoint or Google Slides for layout issues that do not appear inside ChatGPT.

Conclusion

ChatGPT Slides brings presentation creation into the same workspace where you already chat and collaborate. Eligible Pro, Business, and Enterprise users with Space can generate a deck from a conversation or files, edit it directly or with ChatGPT, invite teammates for real-time co-editing, and export to PowerPoint, PDF, or Google Slides.

Start in Work or Space, keep source material close, and review every output. The feature is still rolling out, so check your account if the options do not appear yet.
