Adobe is expanding its AI-powered content automation efforts with Project Slide Wow, a new tool designed to transform raw customer data into PowerPoint presentations.
Currently in a preview phase, the feature integrates with Adobe Customer Journey Analytics (CJA), automatically assembling slides that include speaker notes, data visualizations, and formatted layouts. The company is positioning this as a solution for marketing teams, analysts, and executives who regularly present performance metrics and trends.
With AI increasingly shaping workplace productivity tools, Project Slide Wow reflects Adobe’s broader strategy of enhancing business communication through automation. The tool aims to streamline the process of structuring data-driven presentations, allowing users to bypass manual slide creation.
Interactive AI Features for PowerPoint
Unlike traditional PowerPoint tools, Project Slide Wow includes an interactive AI agent that enables real-time adjustments during presentations. Users can modify visualizations, request additional insights, and refine key messages dynamically, enhancing flexibility in meetings.
At Adobe Summit 2025, the company framed Project Slide Wow as a tool for data storytelling, emphasizing how AI can help presenters highlight key insights more effectively. In his keynote speech, CEO Shantanu Narayen stated, “Creativity is the new productivity.” This perspective underscores Adobe’s focus on AI-driven automation that enhances business workflows rather than replacing human input.
How Adobe’s AI Ranks and Prioritizes Data
Instead of relying solely on large language models, Adobe has built a proprietary ranking system for Project Slide Wow that determines the most relevant insights based on:
- How frequently a data point appears in analyses.
- Its importance within the dataset.
- Context from prior reports and presentations.
By scoring and filtering information before generating slides, the tool aims to avoid the pitfalls of AI-driven content bloat, which often requires significant manual revision. This ranking system ensures that presentations remain concise and relevant.
Real-Time Data Updates and Enterprise Adoption
One of Project Slide Wow’s most practical features is its ability to synchronize with live data sources. As new metrics become available in CJA, users can refresh their slides to incorporate the latest figures, ensuring their presentations stay current.
Adobe has been integrating AI-powered automation across its product suite, with tools like the AI Assistant for Acrobat and Reader already enhancing document navigation, summarization, and formatting. This broader push into AI-enhanced productivity tools suggests that Project Slide Wow may eventually become part of Adobe’s enterprise suite.
Adobe’s move into AI-powered presentations puts it in direct competition with Microsoft’s Copilot AI, which already offers features like AI-assisted slide design and real-time content recommendations in PowerPoint.
However, while Copilot provides general AI assistance across Microsoft 365, Adobe is focusing on automating data-driven storytelling with deeper analytics integration.
Other AI-powered presentation platforms, such as Tome and Gamma, have also gained traction, offering automated slide generation with minimal user input. However, Adobe differentiates itself by leveraging its analytics and enterprise tools, making Project Slide Wow particularly suited for business intelligence applications.
Looking ahead, Adobe may expand the tool’s capabilities by incorporating Firefly AI-powered image generation to enhance slide visuals. Whether Project Slide Wow becomes a standalone enterprise tool or a feature within Adobe Creative Cloud remains to be seen, but its focus on data-driven automation places it among emerging AI-powered business presentation tools.
