A. Why this matters
You’ve got the story, but no time to design the slides.Before you know it, you're stuck copy-pasting charts, formatting bullet points, and hunting for stats.
For teams working with data, deals or proposals, that’s wasted time.
With the right tools and a bit of AI, you can automatically generate a pitch deck based on:
scraped or structured data
AI-generated summaries
and clear, professional slides – without touching PowerPoint.
B. What you need
Step | Tool Options |
Data collection | Apify, Octoparse, PhantomBuster, Bright Data |
Storage | Airtable, Google Sheets |
Automation | Make, n8n |
AI content | ChatGPT (4o), Claude, Flowise |
Slide generation | Gamma.app*, Tome, ChatGPT (PDF/Markdown), Canva AI |

C. How it works
Collect input dataThink: company data, market stats, scraped profiles, CRM exports.
Organize the dataCreate structured entries per slide: titles, bullet points, links, quotes.
Use AI as your editorLet GPT or Claude write summaries, headlines or arguments based on your input.
Generate the slides
Use ChatGPT to generate a Markdown-based deck or a visual-ready PDF
Or use Gamma or Tome to visually turn the AI content into a clean, modern deck
Enhance with visuals (optional)Add logos, charts or product images to complete the deck.

F. Comparing the tools
G. Watch out for:
⚠️ Scraped data is only useful if structured and verified
⚠️ Gamma has no API yet, so fully automated decks require manual steps
⚠️ AI content still needs review before going live
⚠️ Markdown decks are fast, but less visual
H. Bonus use case
This approach is ideal for deal teams that want to:
Pre-qualify leads with scraped insights
Respond faster with custom pitchbooks
Automate internal updates for stakeholders
You collect the input. Let AI build the first draft.
