The story
I’m a designer turned builder. Over the last decade, I’ve bootstrapped successful products like aicarousels.com and resumemaker.online, serving thousands of users and winning "Product of the Week" on Product Hunt.
One lesson stood out during my years of building design tools: most users aren't trying to become designers. They don’t want a "powerful" platform. They want the job done.
I applied this logic to my previous work, and now I’m applying it to presentations with GeneratePPT. The goal is simple: when content matters most, get you to a clean, professional deck quickly so you can move on.
Why Software Gets Bad
I kept seeing the same pattern in software.
A tool starts out clean and helpful. Then, it gets funding. Investors demand growth. To get that growth, the product has to expand into every possible niche. The tool stops serving you and starts serving the roadmap.
"When tools get 'powerful,' they usually become harder to learn, slower to use, and weirdly less helpful."
You see this constantly with presentation builders. You go in to make a slide, but you end up fighting the interface just to align two boxes. You get buried in options when you only needed one good layout.
GeneratePPT is my refusal to play that game. This isn't a "creative suite". It is a productivity hack.
Why simple wins
The “good enough, fast” principle
- A deck is a communication tool. If your message lands, you’ve already won.
- Past a certain point, “better design” yields tiny gains for a huge time cost.
- A focused product is faster and clearer than a complex platform trying to satisfy everyone.
Who it is for
This tool is not for everyone. If you want a million knobs and sliders, you will hate this. But if you fall into these categories, I built specific workflows for you:
Investor updates and board decks that don't waste your weekend.
QBRs, strategy briefs, and board updates. Clarity over decoration.
Client-ready proposals and audits that look professional instantly.
Proposals and discovery recaps sent before the prospect gets cold.
Turn memos, rough notes, and PDFs into structured slides. Readability over decoration.
Launch decks, positioning docs, and competitive breakdowns. Make the story clear.
Turn docs into structured lessons, build workshops fast, and standardize onboarding.
Lecture decks, keynotes, and town halls. Build a narrative skeleton, export clean PPTX.
Lecture decks and course modules generated directly from reading lists.
Internal updates, product launches, and training decks that get to the point.
Summaries, lab reports, and thesis defenses without the formatting stress.
You have a deadline and no patience for bloat. You don't want a design project. You want the task finished.
Intentionally solo
GeneratePPT is a one-person operation. That is not a bug; it is a feature.
Tools get bloated when growth becomes the product. But I’m solo. I’m not forced to chase millions of users or support a thousand edge cases. I can afford to keep it simple, on purpose. Not “simple” as in limited, but simple as in focused for people who just want to get things done fast.
Building these products has given me something I value more than money: time. It lets me choose how I spend my days. That personal freedom is why I am obsessed with building tools that save your time, too.
