NotebookLM is leaning harder into presentations, and the latest slide deck update targets the parts that usually slow you down. You can now revise slides with a prompt, and you can hand the finished deck off as a PowerPoint-ready PPTX file.
That combination turns the Google studying tool from a quick generator into something closer to a drafting workspace. Build the structure from your notes, then refine it without rebuilding slides by hand. When you need to share or present, you don’t have to re-create everything in another app.
Slide edits without rebuilding
The best part is how changes work. Instead of regenerating the whole deck when one slide feels wrong, you can pick a slide and describe the fix. Tighten the language, reframe the takeaway, reorganize the content, then move on.
That matters because feedback rarely arrives once. You’ll get a second round, then a third, then the last-minute “can we also add” request. A slide-by-slide edit loop keeps those tweaks from turning into an all-night formatting job.
There’s one tradeoff to watch. The more you revise, the more you’ll notice whether layouts stay consistent across titles, spacing, and visuals. If the structure drifts, you’ll spend time cleaning up what the prompt changed.
PPTX export makes it shareable
PPTX export is the practical unlock. You can save a NotebookLM deck as a PowerPoint file, which fits most workplace workflows by default. It’s the fastest way to get your draft into an existing template, send it to a teammate who lives in Office, or deliver something that doesn’t require a new tool to open.
It also lowers the friction of trying NotebookLM for early versions. Do the fast thinking and sequencing in NotebookLM, then move the deck into PowerPoint for speaker notes, branding rules, and final cleanup.
Google has also teased a Google Slides export option. Timing and rollout details aren’t clearly pinned down here, so treat that as a next step rather than a guaranteed feature today.
What to watch next
If you make decks regularly, test this on a real assignment, not a throwaway. Draft inside NotebookLM, run a few revision rounds, then open the PPTX and see what stays editable once you start tweaking.
For now, use NotebookLM for the outline and first build, then shift to PowerPoint when you’re ready to tighten and deliver. If Slides export lands soon, it could make the handoff even smoother for Slides-first teams.
