What it is good at

The smart-slide system enforces visual hierarchy automatically, so decks come out professionally formatted without design instruction — useful when the grading objective is the argument, not the aesthetics. Verified students with a .edu address get a free year of Pro, making it deployable in a semester course at no student cost. Presenter analytics show how viewers engaged with a shared deck.

Use it for

Building a business-plan pitch deck, then using view analytics on a shared link to find which slides lost the audience and revising. Generating a first-draft deck from a written market analysis, then requiring students to replace every AI-written claim with a sourced one. A constrained ten-slide investor pitch where students defend what they cut.

Where it falls short

No permanent free tier, so course continuity depends on students claiming and maintaining the .edu offer — verify it is still live each term before building it into a syllabus. Template rigidity that produces clean slides also constrains custom layouts. Gamma.app, already in this directory, overlaps heavily; adopting both is probably redundant.
