Trial checklist
Use a real presentation task — not a demo prompt. Generate a deck from your actual topic using the create-page prompt with an AI agent. Verify whether the HTML deck format (animations, interactions, shareability) materially improves on your current slide workflow. Test sharing via link and embed. Check whether the free tier's 50MB storage and 10 templates are sufficient or if Pro features (video export, Speaker Mode, text editing) are needed. Compare output quality and sharing experience against Gamma or Canva for the same task.
