This feature was released on April 4, 2026.
You can now ask Sparky to generate themed slide presentations with AI-generated visuals. In this article, we'll be covering:
How do you generate slides?
You can ask Sparky to generate slides in both chats and activities.
Start a chat or activity
Navigate to the Flint home screen and start a new chat or activity with Sparky.
Ask Sparky to create slides
Use clear language like:
"Create a presentation on..."
"Generate slides about..."
"Make a slide deck that explains..."
Optionally include a document or link
You can attach files, documents, or share links to give Sparky additional context for the presentation content.
Let Sparky create the slides
It may take a minute for Sparky to generate the slides. Do not exit out of your window while Sparky is generating!
How do you customize, present, or download slides?
How to change the color theme
Click the theme picker in the slide viewer's navigation bar.
You can choose from 6 different color themes (see theme options below). Theme changes are applied instantly and will be reflected when you download.
How to present in fullscreen
Click the Present button to enter fullscreen presentation mode.
Navigate between slides using:
Arrow keys (left/right)
Spacebar
Clicking anywhere on the slide
Press Escape to exit fullscreen.
How to download slides
Click the Download button to download your slides as a PowerPoint (PPTX) file.
The downloaded file will use whatever theme you currently have selected.
How to edit the slides
You can ask Sparky to make changes to your slides by simply typing your request.
For example:
"Add another slide about the water cycle"
"Make the introduction slide more detailed"
"Include more examples on slide 3"
What color themes are available?
There are six color themes available:
Professional: Navy blue with gold accents on white background
Warm: Orange with terracotta accents on cream background
Cool: Blue with sky blue accents on ice white background
Bold: Red with amber accents on dark background
Nature: Green with mint accents on soft green background
Flint: Flint orange on white background
What are best practices for slide generation?
Tell Sparky how to teach
Be specific about your audience, including:
Grade level
Background knowledge
Learning objectives
You can also provide context by:
Pasting notes or curriculum text
Attaching documents like a syllabus or lesson plan
Including links to readings or resources
Be clear that you want slides
Use language like "create a presentation," "generate slides," or "make a slide deck" so Sparky knows the format you want.
Ask for specific slide types
You can request specific layouts:
Title slides
Content slides with images
Section headers
Comparison slides
Summary/closing slides
Are there any limitations?
Currently, there are a few limitations to the slide generation feature:
AI-generated images: Each content slide includes an AI-generated visual. Images use a neutral style designed to work well with all color themes.
Watermarks: If your workspace has slide watermarks enabled, an "AI-generated content" badge will appear on each slide.
File format: Slides download as PPTX (PowerPoint) format. Google Slides import is not yet directly supported, but you can upload the PPTX to Google Drive and convert it.
