Why AI Is the End of PowerPoint
For decades, PowerPoint was the main tool for business and education. People used slides to explain ideas, teach lessons, and share updates. Over time, it became less of a help and more of a habit. Presentations began to feel static, slow to make, and uninspiring. Now, a new format is taking over: AI-generated video. Once you see how simple and effective it is, traditional slides no longer make sense.

For decades, PowerPoint was the main tool for business and education. People used slides to explain ideas, teach lessons, and share updates. Over time, it became less of a help and more of a habit. Presentations began to feel static, slow to make, and uninspiring. Now, a new format is taking over: AI-generated video. Once you see how simple and effective it is, traditional slides no longer make sense.
PowerPoint was created in a time when meetings happened in person, attention spans were longer, and every presentation had a live speaker. In 2025, communication looks different. Work happens online, learning is often remote, and people prefer information that is quick and clear. Old slide decks struggle in this environment. They cannot show movement or explain relationships. They take too much time to design. They also depend on someone to present them in real time. As a result, millions of slides are made, but few leave a lasting impact.
Video has already proven to be more effective. People remember about 95% of what they see and hear in a video, compared to only 10% of what they read or see in slides. The reason most teams still use PowerPoint is that video creation used to be difficult. It required technical editing, a sense of design, and a lot of time. Many people stayed with slides simply because they were easier to make.
AI has now removed those barriers. With tools like Golpo AI, you can type a simple idea or upload a document, and it automatically creates a clear, well-paced video. You can, for example, write “Explain the onboarding process for new employees,” and within seconds, receive a full narrated video with animations and highlights. It is accurate, consistent, and can be produced in multiple languages if needed. There are no slides to build and no editing steps to manage.
AI-generated videos address the main weaknesses of slides. They replace static visuals with motion that helps explain ideas. They remove the need for manual formatting by handling layout and pacing automatically. They tell a full story without needing a presenter. They support multiple languages with subtitles and voice options. And because they use visual storytelling, they hold attention far better than a list of bullet points.
This shift is already visible. Teachers use AI tools to turn lessons into simple whiteboard videos. HR teams turn onboarding materials into short visual guides. Marketers use them to explain products directly from their launch documents. Executives send updates as videos instead of slide decks. Wherever PowerPoint once played a role, AI video now fits more naturally.
PowerPoint transformed how people shared ideas when it was first introduced in 1990. In 2025, AI is transforming how people explain those ideas. The next generation will not start by making slides when they want to teach, train, or present. They will start by creating a video that speaks for itself.
