AI Slides: Standard mode (Gen1-Slides )vs Ultra mode
Hi everyone, Henry from Genspark here.
We recently launched Gen-1 Slides, our first in-house model trained for Standard mode in AI Slides (Included in Free Quota). I wanted to test the Gen-1 slides against our Ultra tier mode and see what the differences are. In this comparison, I am tracking how long it took to generate the slide deck, how many credits it took, and the overall quality of the final deck.
I used the same prompt for both modes and let each one build an AI industry slide deck, going over trends, adoption, and how it's changing the way we work. The prompt used:
“Create a business presentation titled "How the World Actually Uses AI in 2026". Cover the latest adoption and usage trends — who is using AI, what they use it for, and how it's changing work — and end with what this means for businesses. Keep it clear and data-driven.”
Gen1-Slides (Standard mode) produced a 10 page slide deck in ~10 minutes from scratch and consumed 244 credits. The final output was a warm and informative presentation that is easy to read, explains how the AI has been adopted across the world, the top uses of AI, and AI governance.
There are a few areas where the visual layout of the design seems squished or could have better spacing between text blocks but overall I really liked the presentation it gave. The most interesting thing I noticed when generating the slides was it did research on this topic first, asked me clarifying questions on what I wanted, generated a basic slide deck, then re-designed the deck to be more visually appealing.
Ultra Mode created an 8 page slide deck in ~8-10 minutes and used 766 credits. This deck had a warm tone and was very informative but has a lot more visual elements going on in each slide. Before AI Slides started doing anything, it asked me a few questions to get a better understanding of what I was looking for, then did some deep research before starting the slides. It provided similar information as Gen1 Slides mode but it focused on the AI assistant use case. It did a good job detailing how people use it, its adoption, and what it provides. Ultra mode jumped right into the important slides right away in the presentation without giving much context but provided a recap of everything at the very end.
Overall, each slide deck had a similar tone and provided its sources but the content of each slide was quite different. I liked how Ultra mode asked me clarifying questions first, had a focus on a specific AI use case, and the visual layout was more eyecatching. I liked how Gen1 Slides re-designed the deck once its first draft was complete, had a more broad information approach to AI in all industries, and had information about governance. I’m happy with both outcomes and to be able to see the comparison side by side and know exactly the credit usage difference between these modes. Let me know what you would like to see next!
