Slides & presentations

Apps that draft, design and restyle presentations from a prompt, an outline or a document, the slide features of the office suites, and the models that build decks themselves.

Models are ranked by Design Arena Python-PPTX Slides, then Design Arena HTML Slides for models without a result on the first. Tools with their own result on Design Arena Slides (proprietary harness slides) are ranked by it (each board ranks one kind of product); other tools inherit the tier of the best model they offer.

Design Arena Python-PPTX Slides by Design Arena (blind human votes, Elo rating from crowdsourced blind pairwise votes on PowerPoint decks that models build with python-pptx in Design Arena's agent harness) · snapshot 18 Oct 2026
31 model entries, 22,291 votes (API metadata lastUpdateTime 2026-10-18T18:08Z), incl. reasoning-effort variants and older versions. Page renders client-side; rows read from POST https://www.designarena.ai/api/leaderboard with arenaType 'agents', category 'agon_slides'. Only useful if the presentations task gets model-based inheritance; the task is currently tools-only.
