Google Slides
· #188 most-usedBuild, personalise, and deliver slide decks on autopilot
Google Slides is Google's browser-native presentation tool — the go-to platform for pitch decks, board packs, product roadmaps, and team reports that live alongside your Drive, Docs, and Sheets data. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can create presentations from templates, replace placeholder text across every slide, refresh live-linked charts, find the right deck in Drive, and share it with exactly the right people — all without a human opening a browser tab. The result: decks that are always current, always on-brand, and ready the moment they're needed.
Eliminates manual work. Agents handle the full presentation lifecycle — building decks from templates, inserting live figures, refreshing charts, and distributing to stakeholders — eliminating the 30–60 minutes of repetitive preparation that goes into every pitch, report, or QBR deck.
What your Google Slides agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Google Slides × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
QBR deck auto-built from support data
When a customer's quarterly business review is scheduled in Gmail, your agent pulls their ticket volume, CSAT scores, and feature adoption metrics from the support platform, finds the QBR template in Google Slides, and populates a personalised deck — cover slide, KPI slide, and roadmap preview all filled in — before sharing it with the CSM and adding a prep reminder to their calendar.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot
