🤖 Let Slides Agent do the pre-flight check

Think of it as your personal assistant for every session. Before you go live, ask Slides Agent to review your entire presentation — it'll scan for grammar and spelling errors, quiz timing issues, and gaps in your interactive content, flag what needs attention, then ask if you'd like it fixed. One reply and it's done.

It can also now update settings for Spinner Wheel, Open Ended, Word Cloud, and Brainstorm slides directly through conversation. Configure multiple slides at once, without navigating menus. One less reason to click around before a session.

⏭️ Skip slides

You can now hide slides during a session without deleting them. Perfect for when your agenda changes last minute, or when you want one deck that works for different audiences.

How it works: open the slide settings kebab menu and select "skip slide." Skipped slides disappear from the presenting screen, audience view, share view, and preview — but stay in your editor for next time. Unskip them just as easily when you need them back.

🆕 Three new slide types are here (beta) — and you can be first

You asked for these. A lot. And they're finally ready.

We're launching three new slide types in beta, and we want your feedback to help us get them right.

Ranking slide — ask your audience to put things in order. Perfect for prioritisation exercises, preference polls, and any time "which matters most?" is the question on the table.

Pin on image — participants drop a pin anywhere on an image you choose. Heatmap data, spatial thinking, visual feedback. You've been asking for this one for a while — it's here.

Idea board — a collaborative canvas where participants can add, view, and build on each other's ideas in real time.

📄 Read our new whitepaper: the science of distraction

Most presenters think the problem is their slides. Or their delivery. Or the fact that everyone's on their phones.

It's more interesting than that.

We surveyed 1,048 presenters and dug into the neuroscience of why attention disappears — and what you can actually do to get it back. Turns out the goldfish stat is completely made up, your audience's brain is working against you in ways you can't see, and a few small changes to how you structure a session can make a real difference.
