Turn your text into a Google Slides deck
Connect Google Slides to the AI agent: slides, text in shapes, tables and images. The agent drafts a new deck and refreshes numbers in an existing one on schedule.
How the agent works with Google Slides
The agent works with the Google Slides API v1 and opens a deck by link or by the identifier between /presentation/d/ and /edit: it reads slides, text in shapes and tables, images, page design and thumbnails of individual slides. On that basis it lays your text out across slides — title, key points, conclusions — refreshes metrics and captions across the whole deck at once, and drops data into a ready template without touching its design.
A presentation is built differently from a document: it is not a stream of text but pages of objects, each with its own position and size, and the text itself lives inside shapes and table cells. So replacing something across the whole deck means, for the agent, walking the text shapes of every slide. The look of a page comes from its layout and theme: a slide added from a template layout inherits the design, one assembled out of bare shapes does not.
Hence the caution when writing. The agent adds, duplicates and deletes slides, inserts and replaces text, creates shapes, tables and images, and changes text styles and page backgrounds — but for a reporting deck it prefers to duplicate a template slide and swap the text inside it rather than lay the slide out again by coordinates. Deleting a slide cannot be undone through the API, so the agent confirms it and checks the result against the thumbnail.
Connecting is a sign-in to a Google account in a separate window; access to presentations and to the account address is requested. Google Drive is not part of it, so a deck cannot be found by title — a link or an identifier is needed. Edits travel in a batch: several operations on a deck go out as one request, and if any of them fails none is applied, so the deck is never left half-rebuilt. The agent holds the request rate itself, and states missing permissions or an empty template directly.
Integration scenarios
A draft deck from your text
The agent lays your text out across slides — title, key points, conclusions — and returns a link to the assembled deck.
Refreshing the numbers in a deck
The agent updates metrics and captions across every slide of an existing deck at once, without going through them by hand and without breaking the layout.
Filling in a slide template
The agent drops your data into a ready template: it replaces text in placeholders and images, leaving the design of the deck untouched.
A monthly deck on schedule
On a schedule the agent rebuilds the reporting deck with fresh numbers: you approve the template once, and the updates run on their own after that.
Someone else's deck, retold
The agent reads the slides you link to — shape text, tables and captions — and retells what the deck argues and which numbers it claims, instead of you clicking through sixty pages.
A shorter cut of the deck
The agent drops the slides this audience does not need: it lists what would be deleted, waits for your confirmation and checks the result against the thumbnails.

Document · DOCXHow to connect
Before you connect
- A Google account that holds the presentations you need
- Third-party app access allowed in Google Workspace
- 1
Check the avatar at slides.google.com
Open slides.google.com and check the avatar top-right: the connection sees decks from this account only. For work decks sign in with Google Workspace.
- 2
Under “Share” give the account “Editor”
For someone else's deck the owner opens it → “Share” → adds your address with the “Editor” role. With “Viewer” the agent can only read the slides.
- 3
Copy the link to the presentation
The deck ID is the part of the link between https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/ and /edit. The access excludes Google Drive: no search by name.
- 4
Admin: allow access under “API controls”
In a corporate account sign-in can be blocked. The admin opens “Menu → Security → Access and data control” and allows access under “API controls”.
FAQ
By signing in to your Google account in a separate window: you approve access to presentations, there are no keys to copy. For someone else deck the owner grants that account the Editor role in the sharing settings, otherwise the agent can only read the slides.
The slides of the deck you link to: text in shapes and tables, images, page design and thumbnails of individual slides. Other presentations in the account are not visible.
Yes: it adds, duplicates and deletes slides, inserts and replaces text, creates shapes, tables and images, and changes text styles and page backgrounds.
The access we request does not include Google Drive, so a presentation cannot be found by title. You need a link or the identifier between /presentation/d/ and /edit.
