Our take
Alai targets the usual complaints about AI deck makers: one rigid layout and broken exports. It offers four layouts per slide, keeps terminology consistent across the deck, and exports cleanly to PowerPoint and PDF. CRM connections auto-build sales decks, and view analytics show which slides land. Free tier (200 credits) to try; newer than Gamma but with more design control.
Best for
Sales and marketing teams that need on-brand decks with layout control and CRM-driven generation.
Pros
- Four layout options per slide; context-aware, consistent decks
- Clean PowerPoint and PDF export
- CRM integration (Salesforce, HubSpot) for auto-built decks
- Free plan with 200 AI credits to start
Cons
- Younger product than Gamma or Beautiful.ai
- Strongest in the sales/marketing use case, less so for general slides
How it compares
Against Gamma and Beautiful.ai in our catalog, Alai competes on layout control, reliable PPT export and CRM-driven deck generation.
Full review
Alai is an AI presentation maker built around the gripes people have with tools like Gamma: a single layout per idea and exports that mangle formatting. It gives four layout options per slide, understands the full deck so terminology stays consistent from intro to close, and includes native marketing visuals - funnels, comparison matrices, timelines - rather than only bullet slides.
It exports cleanly to PowerPoint and PDF, connects to Salesforce, HubSpot and other CRMs to auto-generate sales decks, and tracks who viewed which slides. A free tier with 200 credits lets you trial it before the Plus or Pro plans. It's younger than the incumbents, but for sales and marketing teams the layout control plus CRM hooks are a real differentiator.
