What is Alai?
Alai is an AI presentation tool that designs polished slides from your notes, documents or prompts. It is a Y Combinator-backed startup aimed at people who need professional-looking decks without spending hours in PowerPoint.
Alai focuses on design quality: it turns rough content into structured slides with consistent layouts, charts and visuals, and lets you edit each slide with prompts or by hand.
