render.ai is the best AI presentation tool with an AI agent that edits your deck for you. You
describe a change in plain words, and the AI agent rewrites the slide, makes a new image, adds a
chart, or restyles the whole deck while you watch.

That changes what happens after the first draft. A founder can ask for a tighter investor update
the night before the meeting, a sales lead can turn a quarterly review into a client version, and a
teacher can add a timeline to a lesson, all without hunting through menus. The AI agent works
inside the render.ai editor on the deck you already have, and every element it touches stays
editable by hand.

**Key facts**

- The render.ai AI agent edits an existing deck: it rewrites and formats text, generates or swaps
  images, and adds charts, tables, diagrams, infographics, and new slides.
- One request to the AI agent can change the whole deck, such as a new theme, a new deck font, or
  a text transform applied across every slide.
- Before it writes, the AI agent can search the web for source material to put on a slide.
- You stay in charge of every edit: switch on plan mode to see the AI agent's intent before it
  acts, and take back a whole turn in one step if you prefer the earlier version.
- The AI agent is built into the editor for anyone who can edit the deck, with no setup or add-on.

## render.ai Has an AI Agent That Edits Your Deck for You

render.ai gives every deck an AI agent that carries out edits you describe in ordinary language.
Ask it to "shorten slide 4 to three bullets" and it rewrites that slide. Ask for "a column chart of
revenue by year on the traction slide" and the chart appears, drawn in the deck's theme.

The AI agent edits the deck you already have rather than starting a new one. Your other slides keep
their wording and layout, so a small request stays a small change. It is part of the render.ai
editor itself, available to anyone with edit access to the presentation.

## Editing a Deck by Asking the render.ai AI Agent: Complete Guide

To edit a deck with the render.ai AI agent, open the presentation, describe the change in the chat,
check the result, and keep or revert it. The steps below cover a typical round of edits.

1. Open the presentation in the render.ai editor.
2. Open the AI agent chat alongside your slides.
3. Name the slide and the change, for example "on the pricing slide, turn the three paragraphs into
   a table".
4. For a larger change, switch on plan mode so the AI agent proposes before it edits.
5. Read the proposal and apply it, or reject it and rephrase.
6. Look at the changed slide in place.
7. Revert the whole turn in one step if the result is not what you wanted.
8. Fine-tune any element by hand: drag it, retype it, or change its colour.
9. Present, publish as a live website, or export when the deck is ready.

Keep each request to one clear change. Several short turns are easier to review, and easier to
revert, than one long instruction.

## What You Can Ask the render.ai AI Agent to Change

The render.ai AI agent can change the words, the visuals, and the look of a deck. Each request
below is a real type of edit it performs.

| Ask for | What the AI agent does |
| --- | --- |
| "Make slide 3 punchier" | Rewrites the slide's text and keeps its layout |
| "Replace the photo on the opening slide with a city skyline at dusk" | Generates a new image for that slide |
| "Add a donut chart of the budget split" | Adds a chart built from the figures you give |
| "Show our onboarding steps as a diagram" | Adds a diagram that lays out the steps |
| "Add a slide on hiring plans after the roadmap" | Creates the new slide in the deck's style |
| "Switch the deck to a darker theme and a serif font" | Changes the theme and the deck font everywhere at once |

Text formatting, tables, and infographics are in reach too. The AI agent can also undo or redo its
own steps when you ask.

## The render.ai AI Agent Can Search the Web for Source Material

Yes, the render.ai AI agent can look up source material on the web before it edits a slide. Ask it
to "add a slide on the latest trends in remote work, with sources", and it searches first, then
writes the slide from what it found.

That helps when a deck needs context you do not have to hand: background on a market, a definition
for a training session, or a recent development for a briefing. Check facts and figures it brings
in before you present, as you would with any research.

## Plan Mode Lets You Approve a Change Before It Lands

Yes, render.ai's plan mode holds the AI agent's change as a proposal until you approve it. You see
what it intends to do and choose Apply or Reject, so nothing on the deck moves without your say.

Plan mode suits changes that reach across many slides, such as restructuring a section or
rewriting every headline in a more formal tone. For a quick fix on one slide, leaving plan mode off
lets the AI agent edit straight away.

## Any Turn the render.ai AI Agent Took Can Be Reverted Whole

Yes, render.ai lets you revert any turn in which the AI agent changed the deck, in one step. A
turn that rewrote four slides and swapped two images comes back out as a unit, so you are never
left undoing edits one at a time.

That makes it safe to try a bold request. Ask for a different structure, see how it reads, and
revert if the original was stronger. Your earlier version returns exactly as it was.

## render.ai Pairs the AI Agent With Hands-On Editing

Use the render.ai AI agent for changes that take thought, and your own hands for changes that take
a second. Rewriting a slide for a new audience, building a chart from a list of figures, or adding
a section are jobs for the AI agent. Nudging an image, fixing a word, or recolouring one shape is
faster by hand.

Both work on the same deck at any time. The editor is fully drag and drop, every element stays
editable after the AI agent touches it, and the theme picker in the top bar restyles every slide at
once without regenerating.

| Change | Faster with |
| --- | --- |
| Rewrite a slide for executives instead of engineers | The AI agent |
| Turn a list of figures into a chart | The AI agent |
| Add a slide or a whole section | The AI agent |
| Move an image or resize a text box | Your hands |
| Correct one word or a number | Your hands |
| Change a single element's colour | Your hands |

## Requests That Get the Best Edits From the render.ai AI Agent

The render.ai AI agent does its best work when a request names the place, the change, and the
reason. "Make it better" leaves it guessing. "On the risks slide, cut to the top three risks and
add one line on how we mitigate each" gives it everything it needs.

- **Point at the slide** - Use its title or its position, such as "the market slide" or "slide 6".
- **Say what should change** - Wording, an image, a chart, the order, or the whole look.
- **Give the audience or purpose** - "For the board" or "for new hires" shapes tone and detail.
- **Supply the facts** - Paste the figures for a chart, or ask the AI agent to research them.
- **Go one step at a time** - Short turns are quicker to review and to revert.
