Thesis defense presentation with AI from your thesis PDF to editable slides

1. Drop your file. PDF or Word (.docx) of the thesis, or paste the abstract and conclusion if the full file is too long or scanned (more on PDF to PowerPoint). Slidy writes the slides in the language of your document.
2. Ask for the right length. Choose between 5 and 35 slides. For a 20-minute defense, 15 to 20 slides is a common target (see the timing table below).
3. Check every number. Slidy never invents figures: results, sample sizes and percentages come from your text. If a slide needs a figure your file does not give, it shows "XX" so you can fill it in. Edit any text or figure in the browser.
4. Export to PowerPoint. You get a native, editable .pptx that opens in PowerPoint, Google Slides and Keynote, so you can add your own charts, lab logo or university template before the day.

Whatever the field, most juries want to follow one line of reasoning. Ask Slidy for these parts, in this order:

• Problem: the question in one sentence, why it matters, and what was missing before your work.
• Method: data, protocol or approach, shown as a step-by-step process slide rather than a wall of text.
• Results: two or three key figures, each with one takeaway. Slidy has key-figure, comparison table and 2x2 matrix layouts for this.
• Limits: say them before the jury does. A dedicated slide shows you know where your work stops.
• Contribution: what your thesis adds, then future work. End on a single statement slide, not "Thank you, questions?".

• Rehearse with a timer at least three times; cut slides rather than talk faster.
• Keep backup slides after the conclusion for detailed tables and secondary results: they answer likely questions without cluttering the talk.
• Read your own thesis again, especially the limits and methods chapters. The AI draft is a starting point, not a substitute for knowing your work.
• Use your own charts for results. Slidy adds free, credited photos for context slides, but data charts from your thesis carry more weight.

Slidy writes a structured draft from your document; it does not check your science or replace your supervisor's review. Scanned PDFs without selectable text are refused with a clear message. There is no real-time co-editing or comments, and no university template import: add your template in PowerPoint after export. Previews and editing are free (2 AI decks every week); the PowerPoint download is €2.99, or €9.99 for 5 exports, paid by card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Nothing renews.
