ChatGPT gets shared presentations in Space

What's new

OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Slides in its release notes on October 16, 2026. It is a presentation tool that lives in Space, a shared workspace in ChatGPT. Space was unveiled together with the writing tool Pages at the DevDay developer conference in San Francisco on September 29, 2026. At that event, collaborative slides were announced as coming within the next few weeks.

In Space, teams keep their files and documents together with ChatGPT and OpenAI's Dots agents. Sam Altman, OpenAI, described Space as the place where pages and files are kept together, like in a drive. In the same update, GPT-6 Pro got faster responses, better use of tools and support for multiple agents that solve parts of a task in parallel.

What's smart about it

You can create, edit, present and export presentations in one place. Text, images, shapes and charts can be edited, and you can ask the AI to make changes instead of clicking through everything yourself. Several people can work in real time and leave shared comments.

You can start from a conversation, some files or an outline. You can also share an example presentation as a guide to style and layout. You start by asking ChatGPT in Work to create a presentation in Space. At DevDay, it was also mentioned that slides should be possible to create from voice or conversation, and that both employees and agents can edit and comment at the same time.

Export from the web version can be done to PowerPoint, PDF or Google Slides. From the desktop app, you can export to PowerPoint or Keynote if the program is installed. So you are not locked into ChatGPT.

Cheaper or better?

The price has not been disclosed. It also isn't clear whether Slides costs extra on top of the subscriptions that provide access. Slides is rolling out to eligible Pro, Business and Enterprise users with access to Space, on the web and in the desktop app. Free users are not mentioned.

The rollout is gradual. In managed workspaces, access depends on the workspace's settings. The sources do not say whether Slides is available in Denmark and the EU.

The sources do not directly name competitors to Slides. TechCrunch, however, sees the launch of Space and Pages as a direct attack on Microsoft's office suite and traditional software companies, and names Google Docs and Microsoft Word as comparable products to Pages. There are no benchmarks or tests showing whether Slides is better than PowerPoint or Google Slides. The export options suggest that OpenAI is aiming to work alongside them.

What it's good for

Slides is aimed at teams that build presentations together: sales pitches, internal status meetings or teaching materials. Here it can save time to have the AI produce a first draft from a conversation, some documents or an outline, and to let colleagues comment in the same document.

If your company already uses ChatGPT Business or Enterprise, it makes sense to try it out once access arrives. And because you can export to PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides, you can finish a presentation in the tools you know. Individuals without a Pro subscription will have to wait for further word.
