Folio AI review
A deck-focused assistant for generating slides and restyling existing presentations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Folio AI works inside PowerPoint and Google Slides to generate presentations from prompts and revise existing decks. It is aimed at users who want to adapt a presentation without rebuilding its visual system: Folio can preserve templates, fonts, colors, and layouts while keeping slide elements editable. Uploading files such as logos, images, data, or inspiration decks provides context for prompts. That makes it a focused option for consulting and strategy teams, as well as others restyling decks they already have. It is less suited to buyers seeking a presentation tool with a broad set of integrations beyond the two named slide platforms.
Its workflow is centered on editing rather than only prompt-to-deck generation. Users can restructure, rewrite, reformat, or extend an existing presentation, and adjust slide content for tone, length, or audience. Folio also supports full-deck generation from a text prompt and exports in multiple formats. PowerPoint and Google Slides are available through an add-in or add-on, with web, Windows, and macOS listed as platforms. The ability to work with editable objects and retain a deck's design is the key distinction for teams with established templates; buyers who need a standalone design environment or other integrations should compare alternatives.
The Starter plan provides 500 credits to start, along with AI-powered slide editing, the PowerPoint add-in, Google Slides add-on, and multi-format exports; the pricing page describes the credits as a free trial, so this is a finite starting allowance rather than an ongoing free plan. Plus provides 2,000 credits per month and unlocks Folio Medium, while Pro provides 5,000 and unlocks Folio Max. Enterprise adds 20,000 monthly credits, stored instructions, and agent external research. Ultimate adds 50,000 monthly credits, SSO and MFA login, and a dedicated account manager. Folio is a better fit for recurring deck work where those editing and template-preservation capabilities matter than for occasional users needing only a simple one-off presentation.
