Google just dropped something that's
going to change how you build pitch
decks forever. I'm talking about a tool
that lets you create entire
presentations with AI doing the heavy
lifting. No more spending hours on
slides. No more design headaches. And
the best part, it's so simple that
anyone can use it. Today, I'm showing
you exactly how to use Gemini Canvas to
build pitch decks that actually get
results. Hey there. So, [snorts] if you
haven't already noticed, I'm Nick
Ponte's AI avatar. While The Real Nick
is busy helping businesses with Minina

strategies, The Real Nick reads every

let's get into it.
Here's
where most people mess up with AI
presentation tools. They treat them like
fancy PowerPoint replacements. They ask
for a slide deck and then spend two
hours fixing what the AI gave them.
That's backwards. The smart way to use
Gemini Canvas is to build your pitch
deck like you're having a conversation.
You're literally co-creating with AI in
real time. Let me show you what I mean.
Gemini Canvas isn't just another AI tool
that spits out a finished product. It's
an interactive workspace where you and
the AI work together. You can highlight
any section and ask it to rewrite. You
can change the tone. You can add data.
You can redesign entire sections without
starting over. It's like having a
designer and a writer sitting right next
to you.
Now, here's something wild. Canvas
doesn't just do documents. It handles
code, apps, infographics, timelines, and
yeah, presentations all in one place.
You can start with a pitch deck outline,
turn part of it into an infographic,
generate supporting code for a demo, and
export the whole thing to Google Docs.
Try doing that in PowerPoint. I used to
be working full-time as a mechanic. long
days, dirty hands, always tired. Then I
started learning about tools like Gemini
Canvas and other AI platforms. These
tools didn't just save me time, they
gave me the ability to deliver
professional level work without needing
a full team. That's how I built Mina
Marketing into what it is today. And
that's exactly what I'm showing you how
to do.
So, let's talk about pitch decks
specifically. Most people think a good
pitch deck needs perfect design skills.
Wrong. A good pitch deck needs clear
messaging that connects with your
audience. Gemini Canvas helps you nail
that messaging first, then makes it look
good second. That's the right order.
Here's how you actually use it. You go
to gemini.google.com
canvas and you start typing. But here's
the trick. Don't ask it to make you a
pitch deck. Start by telling it what
problem you're solving and who you're
solving it for. Have a conversation. Let
it ask you questions. Build the story
together.
Once you've got your core message down,
then you ask it to structure that into a
pitch deck format. And here's where
Canvas really shines. You can see
everything updating in real time. You
highlight a section that feels too long
and tell it to cut it in half. Boom.
Done. You want a different tone for your
financial projections? Just ask. It
rewrites it while you watch. If you're

Now, let's talk about something nobody
mentions, collaboration. If you're
building a pitch deck for a client or
with a team, Canvas lets multiple people
work on it at the same time. Everyone
sees changes instantly. No more emailing
versions back and forth. No more
wondering which file is the latest one.
You're all in there together making it
better. Here's another thing that
separates pros from amateurs. Audio
overviews. Canvas can actually narrate
your pitch deck. It generates an audio
version that you can use for practice or
send to stakeholders who want to review
it without reading slides. That's in 45
different languages, by the way. So, if
you're pitching to international
clients, you've got options. [snorts]
But here's what really matters for
people trying to make money with this.
You can offer pitch debt creation as a
service. Local businesses need pitch
decks for investors, for partnerships,
for big client presentations. Most of
them don't have time to make them and
they definitely don't want to spend
thousands on a design agency. You come
in with Gemini Canvas and you can
deliver professional pitch decks in a
fraction of the time for a fraction of
the cost. I'm not saying charge cheap.
I'm saying your margins are incredible
because your production time is so low.
You could easily charge $1,500 to $3,000
for a custom pitch deck that takes you a
few hours to create. Do that a few times
a month and you've got a nice income
stream. The export options make this
even better for client work. You finish
the deck in Canvas, export it to Google
Docs for final review with your client,
then export it as a PDF or PowerPoint
format for their actual presentation,
clean and professional.
Now, let me show you the moves that
actually get results. When you're
building a pitch deck in Canvas, start
with your one-s sentence value
proposition. Get that right before you
do anything else. Make Canvas help you
refine that sentence until it's crystal
clear. Once you have that locked in,
everything else flows from it. Then
build your problem slide. This is where
most pitch decks fail. They make the
problem too complicated or too generic.
Use Canvas to test different ways of
explaining the problem. Ask it to
simplify. Ask it to add urgency. Keep
iterating until someone who knows
nothing about your industry can
understand why this problem matters.
Your solution slide comes next. This is
where you show how you solve that
problem. Keep it simple. Canvas is great
at helping you cut jargon and get to the
point. If you can't explain your
solution in terms a third grader would
understand, you haven't figured it out
yet. Market opportunity is where you
show the money. This is where those
infographic features really shine.
Instead of boring bullet points about
market size, you create a visual that
shows growth potential. Canvas can help
you take dry market research data and
turn it into something that actually
excites people. Business model slide
explains how you make money, pricing,
revenue streams, customer acquisition
costs. Canvas helps you present numbers
in ways that make sense. You can test
different layouts to see what
communicates best. Traction Slide is
your proof, customer testimonials,
revenue growth, user numbers, whatever
shows you're not just an idea. And
here's a pro tip. Don't make up
testimonials or fake numbers. Use real
data. Canvas helps you present real
achievements in the best light, but you
never need to lie. Team slideshows who's
executing Canvas can help you write bios
that highlight relevant experience
without being boring. Keep it tight and
focused on why this team can actually
pull this off. Financial projections
come next. This is where people get
scared. But canvas makes it easier. You
input your assumptions and it helps you
structure projections that are realistic
and defensible. You're not just
guessing. You're showing your thinking.
The ass slide is your close. What do you
need? Investment amount, partnership
terms, whatever you're pitching for.
Canvas helps you frame this clearly so
there's no confusion about what happens
next.
Here's something I wish someone told me
earlier. The appendix matters. Most
people skip it or treat it as an
afterthought. Big mistake. Your appendix
is where you put detailed financials,
technical specs, case studies, anything
that backs up your main slides but would
slow down your presentation. Canvas
makes it easy to build a comprehensive
appendix that gives credibility to your
pitch.
Now, let's talk about the business
opportunity here. You're not just
learning a tool. You're learning a skill
that businesses will pay for. Startups
need pitch decks for investors.
Established companies need them for
board meetings. Sales teams need them
for enterprise deals. Marketing agencies
need them for new business pitches. You
could specialize in pitch decks for
specific industries. Maybe you focus on
tech startups. Maybe you focus on local
service businesses looking for SBA
loans. Maybe you focus on nonprofits
pitching to grant committees. Pick a
lane where you can understand the
specific needs and language. Then use
canvas to crank out high-quality decks
fast.
The pricing model is straightforward.
base package for a standard pitch deck
premium package that includes multiple
revisions and strategy consultation
enterprise package for companies that
need ongoing deck creation and updates.
You can build a whole business around
this one service. All right, here's the
bottom line. Gemini Canvas isn't just
another AI tool. It's a complete
workspace for creating professional
content fast. For pitch deck
specifically, it gives you everything
you need to build compelling
presentations that actually get results.
