Chief can turn your research, notes, or analysis into a slide presentation — a real deck with themed slides, not a wall of bullet points. This article covers asking Chief to build a presentation, changing its theme, presenting it, and saving it.

​
Build a presentation

Chief presentations - slide navigation and Full Screen controls
  1. In a conversation, ask Chief to create a presentation, for example “Turn this into a 6-slide presentation for our leadership team.”
  2. Chief generates the deck (you’ll see a Generating presentation… status while it works).
  3. When it finishes, the presentation is created as a File and opens in the Presentation tab.

​
Choose a theme

Chief presentations - the Select theme picker with theme categories
  1. Open the presentation.
  2. Click the theme control (Select theme).
  3. Choose a theme. Themes are grouped into categories — Classic (Professional, Modern, Minimal, Dark, Vibrant), Corporate (Executive, Startup), and Creative (Gradient, Nature, Neon, Pastel).
The deck re-renders in the new theme immediately.
ℹ️ Good to Know: You can’t change the theme while the presentation is still streaming in — the Select theme control is disabled until generation finishes. Wait for it to complete, then switch themes.

​
Present and navigate

Chief presentations - slide navigation and Full Screen controls
  • Click Full Screen to present.
  • Use the next-slide and previous-slide controls (the ‹ › arrows, or your keyboard arrow keys) to move through the slides — the counter shows your position (for example 1 / 5).
  • Click Exit Full Screen when you’re done.

​
Save the presentation

Chief presentations - Add to Library to save the deck
Click Add to Library in the presentation toolbar to save the deck to your Project Library, so you and your team can find it later.

FAQ

The theme can’t be changed while the presentation is still generating. Wait for it to finish, then pick a theme.
If you see “Failed to save presentation to Project Library,” try again. If it keeps failing, confirm you have edit access to the Project.
Google Slides export is an early-access feature and isn’t enabled for every account yet. If you see the Export to Google Slides button in the presentation toolbar, you can use it. Otherwise, save the deck to your Library or download it.
