For years, the gold standard in PowerPoint was the McKinsey/BCG/Bain look. Dense slides, action titles, perfect alignment, built by some designer in India...

Now:

  • McKinsey's Lilli generates slides from prompts
  • BCG's Deckster auto-polishes decks
  • Tools like Deckary bring waterfall and Marimekko charts to anyone for $50/yr

Meanwhile, 2026 design trends are pulling the opposite way. Bento grids, huge typography, one insight per slide. More Apple keynote, less consulting report.

  • Are you still building in the classic consulting style, or have you moved on?
  • For anyone using Copilot or AI deck toolsis the output actually usable, or still 80% rework?

Curious?🤔
