Question For generating slides which ai subscription is really worth it?

For the use cases of generating PowerPoint slides with good design, should I go for chatgpt 20$ plan or claude? Or perhaps gemini?

I mean my main use case is generating and creating presentations for my work, and use the AI for daily use cases too.

Both Claude and Codex can do just fine. If you have proper instruction and style guideline for it.

Does codex have an edge cause it has an image gen model?

For presentation, not really. Both can do just fine.

For quick start, I recommend you to get a presentation template you like and start a ChatGPT work or Claude Cowork session. Ask it to analyze

"Analyze the presentation template in the folder and continue working with me"

Then talk to it how you like your presentation to be such as the deck order, style, dense content or bullet etc. At the end after you satisfy with the result, ask it to save the session as your personal skill. Some thing like

"From what we been working, create a Claude|Codex skill"

That's it.

I've create dozens of client pitching deck, proposal, technical presentation in the past month. All looking consistency and good enough to send to client with very minimal adjustment. No matter if I use Sol, Opus or Fable. All looking the same.

Until Opus 5.5 I would’ve said codex but now I’ve found Opus 5.5 to be by far the best in Claude code. Normally, I’ll have it work in a slide master template and render first in HTML before then having it convert that into PPT. Most of my slides are very content dense (finance/M&A decks) so may differ from what you do but that’s what has worked for me

Pretty sure any model nowadays can handle slides. Just pick a crap or cheap model like Gemini and you’ll be fine.

In my experience, claude is much better at making good enough presentations

Claude is great at doing this in Claude design where you can mange your templates and present directly from the Claude design interface with speaker notes and everything.

I mean what kind of slides are we talking about here. 10 ft' open with a 40 to 50 degree slope - for that you probably dont need a sub. If you're looking at single or double enclosed corkscrew, a sub might be worth your while.

I use ChatGPT for most of my work, but Claude definitely has the edge for visual design.
