DESIGN
Velocity0.0

Presentation software rebuilt around a generation workflow that finally holds the brief

presentationsai-generationdesign-automationtemplatesworkflow
◆Current state
Beautiful.ai 3.0 shipped in March as the Create with AI workflow, positioned bluntly as AI that creates what was actually asked for — an admission that earlier generation did not. Around it sit incremental additions: five new Smart Slides for step, progression and category layouts, an AI generation flow reworked for clarity, control, image creation and theme selection, and a refreshed slide editor. The feed records each release twice.
◆Where it's heading
The product's original premise was that templates enforce design so users cannot make ugly slides. The AI work extends that from layout to content, and the sequence shows the order it happened in: fix the editor, improve image generation and theme selection, then rebuild the whole creation path around a prompt. Smart Slides remain the underlying structure the generated output is assembled from, which is what keeps the design guarantee intact.
◆Prediction
With generation reworked and Smart Slides expanding, the likely next step is generation that spans a whole deck's narrative rather than slides in isolation — though the entries describe the workflow without specifying that scope.

    Five new Smart Slides for faster storytelling

    Five new Smart Slides covering steps, progression and categories with puzzle, diamond, hexagon and circle layouts. These templates are what generated decks get assembled from, so expanding them widens what the AI workflow can produce.

    Improved AI images

    The AI generation flow reworked for clarity, control, image creation and theme selection, aimed at the first few minutes of use. In retrospect this was the groundwork the 3.0 workflow needed.
