Most presentations go out of date the moment you finish them. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use Manus to create slide decks that don’t just look professional, but also update themselves as fresh data appears.
Define goal
Decide what the deck is for before starting. A clear goal helps Manus stay focused and avoid unnecessary slides.
Think about the audience, the main takeaway, and the level of detail needed.
Write clear prompt
Launch the Manus dashboard and enter a specific, well-scoped prompt that explains what you want.
Example prompt:
“Create a 12-slide presentation on emerging AI use cases for ecommerce brands, including market data, practical examples, and one slide on short-term adoption risks.”
Add structure and limits
Guide Manus by setting clear boundaries so the output matches your expectations.
You can specify:
- Number of slides
- Required sections
- Overall tone or style
Select Slides as output
Choose Slides as the output format, pick a suitable theme, and confirm to start the workflow.
Let Manus handle work in cloud
Manus runs the entire process on its own. It will:
- Research current information
- Summarize key insights
- Create charts and visuals
You don’t need to stay involved during this stage.
Review generated deck
Once complete, quickly review the slides to polish the result. You may want to:
- Reorder slides
- Edit headlines
- Remove anything unnecessary
This is light refinement, not heavy editing.
Export for final edits
Export the deck to Google Slides or another editor to apply branding, collaborate, or make small design tweaks.
Enable automatic updates
If the topic changes over time, turn on automatic updates so Manus refreshes data and insights without rebuilding the deck.
Note: After exporting to Google Slides, lock finalized design elements so updates affect content, not layout.
