After the launch of ChatGPT, the popularity of AI chatbots has dramatically increased due to their ability to carry out tedious tasks with very little human intervention. They can generate code, write emails, draft reports, and whatnot at your command. DeepSeek AI is a recently launched chatbot that can do all this and more.
Within a very short time of its release, DeepSeek AI topped app download charts and made headlines around the globe. Alongside solving complex problems, this AI chatbot can also be used to generate PowerPoint slides saving you time and energy.
In this article, we will go through the steps to create a presentation using DeepSeek. Let’s dive right in.
In this article
Part 1: What is DeepSeek
DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company and their product's name, gained global attention in a short time one of the reasons being its AI chatbot’s alleged resource efficiency.
While popular AI companies depend upon substantial computing power for their model’s performance, DeepSeek claims to have accomplished similar results with fewer resources.Though DeepSeek’s AI models offer advanced reasoning and text generation features like other chatbots such as ChatGPT, it’s different.
This Chinese AI is open source. Meaning, that anyone can download or copy it and also build upon it. Its source code and technical explanations are publicly available so developers can modify and implement it.
Although Google and Meta’s models are also open for anyone to view, they’re not seen as truly open source due to legal restrictions on how users can implement them. Additionally, their datasets are also not freely shared.
Part 2: DeepSeek Vs ChatGPT: Performance Benchmarks
Here’s a comparison between DeepSeek-R1’s performance in certain tests against ChatGPT-o1.
Mathematics
DeepSeek’s R1 model achieved 90.2% accuracy on the MATH-500 benchmark while OpenAI’s o1 scored 96.4%.
R1, DeepSeek’s earlier model, generating comparable results against OpenAI’s latest model is truly plausible.
Coding Tests
DeepSeek-R1 scored 96.3% on the codeforces benchmark while ChatGPT achieved a slightly higher score of 96.6% on the same assessment.
DeepSeek Accessibility
DeepSeek AI is available completely free through a web app and iOS and Android mobile applications. You can also download it and run it locally on your machine.
Part 3: How to Generate Slides Using DeepSeek?
Although there’s no separate option to generate and export PowerPoint presentations using Deepseek, you can ask the AI to generate content on your chosen topic and then paste it into slide creation apps.
Here’s how you can do that:
Step 1
Go to DeepSeek’s website and click Start Now or download the app. Then log in or sign up if you don’t already have an account.

Step 2
Build a prompt containing your presentation topic, supporting data, and key ideas you want to be included. A proper and detailed prompt will result in more accurate and personalized results.

Step 3
Once it has generated the content copy, paste it into PowerPoint. Open the app and click More Themes to view the template collection

Step 4
Either pick a theme from the ones you see in front of you or use the search bar to search for a template on a specific topic. Click on the selected theme then hit Create.

Step 5
Now one by one, copy the content of each slide and paste it into the app. Adjust font and page style as per your preference.

Step 6
Lastly, make sure to fact-check the content as AI can generate biased or inaccurate results.
Generate Slides Using DeepSeek and VBA
This method is quicker as compared to the one I discussed above; however, this may require some understanding of Visual Basic programming language if you want to modify the code generated by the chatbot.
Step 1
Build your prompt including the details for a more personalized response. Be sure to include that you want VBA code for the PowerPoint presentation.
For example: “Generate VBA code for 6-slide PowerPoint presentation on the topic: Top Ten Tourist Destinations in Viet Nam. Include tips for international tourists to enhance the travel experience.”. Feel free to add additional details regarding styling.

Step 2
If you can’t see the Developer tab on the top bar, go back to Home and click Options in the bottom-left corner. Hit Customize Ribbons in the window that just opened then scroll down and check Developer. Click Ok to save changes.

Step 3
To insert your VBA code, go to Visual Basic in the top-left corner and click the module icon. Paste your code and click the green triangle button to create the presentation.

Step 4
Once you’ve run the code, you’ll be taken to the slides. To style your presentation, pick a theme from the ones available under the Design tab. Or, click Browse for Themes to insert a custom theme.

Step 5
Fact-check and proofread the content for accuracy.
Save Your Slides
Once you’re happy with your design and content, click the save icon in the top-left corner, name your document, select the desired location, and then hit Save.
