Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Alai is a web-based AI presentation maker for individuals and teams creating editable decks from ideas, documents, PDFs, links, and other source content. It generates slide layouts, applies themes and brand design systems, and supports manual editing of text, icons, images, and layouts. Presentations can be delivered directly in Alai or exported as PDF and PowerPoint files. The product is aimed at recurring sales, onboarding, investor, proposal, and reporting workflows, with an API for presentation generation and editing.
Pricing is structured around a free tier and three paid monthly plans. Free includes unlimited presentations, 300 AI credits, and PDF and PPT export, but watermarks cannot be removed. Plus costs $20 per month and includes 800 AI credits, watermark-free slides, exports, and priority support via Discord and email. Pro costs $30 per month with 1,600 AI credits, watermark-free slides, exports, and priority support from founders. Ultra costs $80 per month with 5,000 AI credits, watermark-free slides, exports, and direct feature requests to founders. The main paid upgrade is higher AI capacity and watermark removal, with support options varying by tier.
Alai’s standout capability is the combination of source conversion and presentation editing. It supports PDF, Word, and link-to-PowerPoint conversion workflows, then lets users adjust slide content and layouts manually or with AI assistance. Reusable brand rules help keep visual output consistent, while the API extends generation and editing into automated workflows. It is a strong fit for users who want AI-assisted deck creation without giving up slide-level control. Users who need watermark-free output should start with a paid plan, while those with high-volume generation needs should consider the credit limits and select a higher tier.
