I recently moved to London with my wife, left Impetus, and lost access to all PowerPoint add-ins (tragic, I know). AI hasn't really replaced the need to edit presentations (for me). It gives you a great draft, but I want to align every pixel to my "vision". I can't leave it up to the AI's mood. Plus, editing slides builds character (especially under pressure. Ever had to rearrange slides at the last minute and manually change the agenda slides across the deck?!?). Also gives me time to slow down from the heavy thinking. Hence, I built the Character Builder (v1) add-in. It currently features some of my most-used PowerPoint functions that make editing easier, including auto-syncing agenda slides (you're welcome). You can try it for free here (and live a consultant's life): https://lnkd.in/eHWWarqT Note: It only works on Windows for now and is safe to use. Run the file as administrator. Installation might trigger Windows to ask if you trust the publisher. Just say yes (trust me, bro), and it should automatically be added to your PowerPoint. I plan to keep updating the add-in (add more buttons and maybe hand-draw custom icons?). Might also post some explainer videos. Would really appreciate your feedback and the functions you'd like to be added. Happy slide making.
