Google Slides recently rolled out an AI feature called "Beautify" that converts editable content into static images, leaving users unable to make further modifications. This highlights a larger issue: the legacy slide file formats are hindering true AI-driven editing capabilities. Simpler, human-readable formats like Bento's single HTML file could enable more powerful, editable AI features.
While AI models are powerful enough to generate pictures and videos, the complex, backward-compatible slide data models limit AI integration. Switching to a lightweight, editable data model, such as TheOpenPresenter's plain JSON format, could pave the way for more seamless AI-enhanced presentations.
