Love it. Like some others here, I've been making html presentations with code-agents and they come out really nice. Other alternatives for that suit different purposes are these:

- slidev markdown-based slides, I often have a code-agent make these. https://github.com/slidevjs/slidev

- typst slides are great looking too, especially with math etc. Again easy for agents to do

One minor nit: Based on the title, I thought this was literally a tool that had something to do with PowerPoint, but "PowerPoint" is used here as a synonym for "Presentation", which is ironic/unfortunate given how many dislike PowerPoint.

Oh! I didn't know about slidev before. I like how it can embed Vue.js components. Typst kinda looks like LaTeX. Thanks for sharing.

I thought about whether to use Slidedeck Tool in the title, but powerpoint won out mainly because how often people talk about presentations as powerpoints.
