What is an AI Editor Assistant?
AI Editor Assistant is a chat-based assistant built into the editor that helps you improve an existing slide without starting from scratch. It can review the active slide, suggest better wording, update content, and help make design-oriented edits.
This feature is best for quick iteration when you already have a slide in place and want to:
rewrite or polish text
tailor messaging for a specific audience
summarize long source material into slide-ready copy
make visual or layout-related updates
generate fresh content ideas based on the slide context
The AI Editor Assistant can be found in the bottom right border while editing a presentation or master deck library slide.
What AI Editor Assistant can do
Depending on your setup and permissions, AI Editor Assistant can help you:
Modify text on the current slide
Rewrite content for tone, clarity, or audience
Summarize notes, transcripts, or long-form content into shorter slide copy
Generate new content based on a prompt
Suggest improvements to slide messaging
Make visual edits such as adjusting component styling or other slide-level changes
Update layouts or components through natural-language prompts
Use web-backed prompts to bring in supporting ideas or research when available
Before you start
For the best experience:
Open the presentation in the editor
Navigate to the slide you want to update
Make sure the slide you want to edit is the active slide
If you want the AI to work from existing copy, select or reference that content in your prompt
How to use AI Editor Assistant
Open your presentation in the DIGIDECK editor.
Click into the slide you want to update.
Open AI Editor Assistant from the editor.
Enter a prompt describing what you want to change.
Review the response and apply or refine the result with follow-up prompts.
Continue iterating until the slide looks the way you want.
When giving a prompt to the Editor Assistant be as descriptive as possible, even though your prompt may seem redundant.
The Editor Assistant will edit the side you are on but will not save any changes; make sure to click the Save button at the top of the slide area to confirm any Editor Assistant edits you want saved to the slide.

Include formatting guidance such as bullet count, length, or style
Use follow-up prompts to refine the first result
Review AI-generated content before sharing externally
Current limitations
AI Editor Assistant is designed to help with slide-level editing. Keep these limitations in mind:
The initial experience focuses on the current active slide, not the full presentation
Some changes may apply to one text area or multiple text areas depending on how the request is interpreted
Complex presentation-wide requests may need to be completed manually or in future product updates
Locked content may not be editable
Results may vary based on prompt clarity and slide structure
When to use AI Editor Assistant vs. other AI workflows
Use AI Editor Assistant when you already have a slide and want to improve it.
Use other AI creation workflows when you want to:
build a new slide from a prompt
generate a larger presentation
start from source content instead of an existing slide
Tips for better prompting
A strong prompt usually includes:
what you want changed
who the slide is for
how you want it to sound
what format you want back
Example Prompt:
Rewrite this slide for a C-level audience in the financial services industry. Keep the headline under 8 words and turn the body copy into 3 concise bullets.
Need more help?
If the first output is not quite right, keep going. AI Editor Assistant works best as an iterative tool. Ask follow-up questions, narrow the scope, or specify the format you want until the slide matches your goal.
