Luminotes

Luminotes is an AI presentation generator that takes the blank-slide problem off your hands: paste raw notes, drop in a PDF or a URL, or type a single topic line, and it drafts the outline, writes the slide copy and lays the whole deck out against a chosen template.

Where it goes beyond a plain text-to-slides tool is its Deep Research mode, which gathers sources, adds citations and cross-checks claims across several models before the copy is written — useful when the deck has to survive questions rather than just look finished. Generated decks stay editable: you can rewrite individual slides with AI, regenerate the outline, and add speaker notes.

The template library is built around real use cases — startup pitch, business review, lecture, creative portfolio — with named designs such as Neo Memphis, Monolith and Aurora rather than a single generic house style. Finished decks export to PPTX and PDF, so they open cleanly in PowerPoint, Google Slides and Figma instead of locking you into the editor.

You can generate a first deck free without a credit card. Paid plans unlock unlimited generation, premium templates, priority generation speed and watermark-free export at $19.99/month, or $9.99/month billed annually ($119.88/year); a one-time $2 pass buys 7 days of full access for a single project.

Best suited to consultants, founders, students and anyone who writes the content long before they want to think about slide design.
