AI Will Kill PowerPoint? Consultants Don't Think So.

In professional services, predictability beats gimmicks. Firms still value tools that provide control, consistency, and uniform results over flashy but unreliable alternatives.
For the last two years, the consulting world has been split into two camps. On one side, the believers: those convinced that AI-generated slide tools will automate away the tedious parts of PowerPoint, making consultants faster or even unnecessary. On the other side, the skeptics: those who have actually tried these tools and found them flashy but unreliable, riddled with hallucinations, and absolutely not client-ready.

What has emerged is a familiar pattern in technology, the trough of disillusionment. Firms that once poured time and money into AI slide-generation software are realizing that most of these solutions are little more than impressive gimmicks. In professional services, where client deliverables need to be polished, accurate, and airtight, deterministic software (tools that produce predictable, uniform results) remain the trusted choice.

That's why, amidst the AI hype, traditional PowerPoint software continues to evolve. Case in point: this month, PowerTools [https://pptpowertools.com/] released version 3.0 of its popular PowerPoint add-in, showing that consultants and analysts are doubling down on the proven backbone of their craft: clear, reliable, professional slides.

PowerTools is the leading PowerPoint productivity add-in for professionals. Built by former consultants who were tired of wasting hours on formatting, the non-AI-powered software is designed to help you build professional slides faster with hundreds of time-saving tools built right into your PowerPoint ribbon.

With over 140+ shortcuts and bulk actions, the add-in lets users format, align, resize, and clean up slides in a fraction of the time. Its built-in slide library and templates mean you never start from scratch, and smart automations like an automatically refreshing table of contents streamline workflows that would normally eat up hours. For consultants and finance professionals who spend up to 40% of their week in PowerPoint, those gains are transformative.

The bigger picture is clear: while AI will continue to shape the consulting industry, it has not replaced the day-to-day realities of building decks. Consultants need precision, consistency, and tools that integrate seamlessly into their workflow, not black-box outputs that require rework. Add-ins like PowerTools are reminders that, for professional services, the most valuable software isn't the flashiest, but the one that makes real work faster, clearer, and more reliable.
