The "Formatting Tax" is such a perfect way to put it. Most people think they are being productive when they are really just wrestling with text boxes and alignment grids.
Moving the focus from the design UI back to the actual narrative is where the real leverage is. If the story lands, nobody cares if the slide came from PowerPoint or a Claude artifact.
I have found that over time Claude outputs and presentation styles start looking similar. With more training date , hope presentations become differentiated.
Super helpful!
Glad to hear, Daniel!
Very nice Joel. Huge time savings, plus it keep your image consistent. Sooo useful
Glad to hear!! Yeah brand consistency is not easy
"I love creating powerpoint slides by hand" - said no one ever.
And now with Claude folks can create branded presentations without having to switch between 2-3 different apps!

Exactly! I knew this would resonate with you, we care about the result
The formatting was never the work it was always the tax on the work.
Yes, and the opportunity cost was huge

Bandan, good point. My Slide deck skill for each brand is about 12 pages long, specificity really helps
