AI-Powered Slide Sets allow you to automatically generate on-brand PowerPoint slides directly from your Hub data sources. By combining structured data with smart placeholder templates, Kameleon automatically populates text and images into the best-fitting layout for your content.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Data Source

Create a new Kameleon data source or select and existing one in Hub Data sources

2. Prepare new slides

Create a new branded PowerPoint presentation containing your layout and dynamic placeholders:

  • Text Placeholders: Label fields using double curly brackets and an index number (e.g., {{Customer 1 name}}, {{Customer 1 industry}}, {{Customer 2 name}}).

    • Note on indexing: The index number indicates to the AI how many rows or items should appear on that specific slide layout.

  • Image Placeholders: Rename the target shape or picture placeholder in PowerPoint's Selection Pane using the same indexed naming convention (e.g., {{Customer 1 logo}}).

  • Flexible Mapping: Placeholder labels do not need to match your data source column names verbatim. The AI intelligently maps fields based on context.

  • Layout Variations: A presentation can contain multiple slide variations to fit different result counts (e.g., separate layouts designed for 2, 3, 4, or 5 references).
