Should you let AI generate your pitch deck, and which tools are worth it?

AI deck generators like Gamma, Beautiful.ai, and Slidebean will turn a paragraph about your company into a clean, structured 12-slide draft in about a minute, which is genuinely useful for a v1 and for founders with no designer. But investors now see a hundred AI-templated decks a week, so the generator should handle layout and polish while the story, the real numbers, and the one non-obvious insight still have to come from you.

A quick orientation. The real value is below: resources worth your time, from people who've actually done it.
