Figma Pressi

An AI-powered presentation maker that lives inside Figma.

The Pressi plugin panel in Figma: a brief box, an audience dropdown set to Investors, optional notes and a Generate Outline button, followed by Review Outline and Build Slides steps. A footer reads: Pressi is my plugin for Figma, not a Figma product.

The content for a deck usually exists. Turning it into a clear sequence of slides is the slow, repetitive part.

Pressi is my plugin for Figma, not a Figma product. You give it a brief and an audience, it drafts a narrative and outline, and it builds editable slide frames you refine yourself. [Verify: which steps work today]

Generating slides isn’t the same as making a good presentation. The value is in how well it hands the work back: editable layers, consistent components, and easy correction.

  1. Problem

    The content for a deck usually exists already. Turning it into a clear sequence of slides is the slow, repetitive part.

  2. Research

    Planned: test the output against a consistent rubric for story, density and visual hierarchy.

  3. Prototype

    Brief in, editable slides out: Pressi drafts a narrative and outline, then builds slide frames in Figma through the Plugin API. [Verify: which steps work today]

  4. In people’s hands

    Next: share it with designers who build decks regularly, and watch what they edit first.

  5. What happened

    The risk: plausible slides with weak hierarchy and too much text. AI output has to be a starting point, with the designer in control.

How I’m approaching it

The Double Diamond, as planned. Plans loop back once real people get involved, so this one does too.

  1. Discover

    Find the repetitive parts of building a deck.

  2. Define

    Draw the line between generated structure and designer judgement.

  3. Develop

    Prototype brief-to-slides generation.

  4. Deliver

    Review the output like a real deck.

  5. Define

    Go back to content hierarchy wherever slides feel generic.

  6. Develop

    Refine controls, editing and design-system constraints.

UX practices

  • User controlReview, edit, regenerate and undo. The generated deck is never final.
  • Progressive disclosureStart with a short brief, and reveal advanced controls when needed.
  • Consistency and editabilityReuse components and tokens, while keeping generated content easy to change.

Service design

  • Workflow integrationIt fits into the designer's existing Figma workflow instead of becoming another destination.
  • Human reviewNarrative, accuracy, accessibility and hierarchy get checked before a deck is ready.
