Product Release Notes - August 1, 2025 Smoother logins, smarter AI, and thoughtful design update

🚀 Enhancements

🗝️ SSO login for PowerPoint add-in

Our PowerPoint add-in now supports seamless login with Microsoft accounts and Single Sign-On (SSO), making it easier than ever to get started and stay connected. If your organisation has an enterprise account with SSO enabled through AhaSlides, you can now take full advantage of this streamlined authentication right within PowerPoint.



🤖 AI Chatbot 2.0 Update

The presentation whisperer gets even smarter Our AI had another growth spurt and learned some powerful new tricks that are now live for 100% of users:

  • Thought Chain: Watch the AI's reasoning process unfold in real-time as it works through your requests

  • Smart Memory: Your AI assistant now remembers your preferences and adapts to your unique working style


🎨 A fresh look that gets out of your way

Refreshed Slide Type Icons & UI Improvements (following the brand refresh). You might have spotted them already — our slide type icons got a makeover. But this isn't just about looking pretty.


We've embraced a design philosophy that puts you first: "Good design is unobtrusive." As our Head of Design, Valen Tran, puts it:


QuoteProducts fulfilling a purpose are like tools. They are neither decorative objects nor works of art. Their design should therefore be both neutral and restrained, to leave room for the users' self-expression.

What does this mean for you? A cleaner, more focused interface that steps back so your content can step up. We've refined various UI elements to be more confident and timeless — just like our mission to help you create presentations that truly connect.

Same AhaSlides magic. Sharper look. More space for your creativity to shine.

📁 Folder Management Improvements

Enhanced Presentation Moving Experience We've improved the presentation moving process with new safeguards to protect your sharing permissions. Users will now receive clear warnings and confirmation prompts when moving presentations in these scenarios:

  • Private to Shared Folder: Moving from your personal workspace to a collaborative space

  • Shared to Private Folder: Moving from a collaborative space to your personal workspace

  • Between Shared Folders: Moving between different collaborative spaces

These confirmations help ensure you maintain the right access controls and avoid unintended permission changes.

​

Note: Private folders are accessible only to you, while shared folders include additional team members with various permission levels.

Learn more about moving presentations across folders in our updated KB.
