Frequently asked questions

Is Manus's AI PowerPoint generator free for teachers?

Manus offers credits to get started creating presentations for free. This lets you experience the full capabilities of the AI generator and see how it works for your teaching needs. If you create presentations regularly and need more generation capacity, subscription plans are available with education pricing.

Can I customize the generated presentations?

Absolutely. You can refine any part through conversation with Manus—adjust the tone, add specific examples, change slide layouts, or modify content depth. For more advanced customization, you can also use our AI design capabilities to create custom visuals and graphics. Once generated, you can also export to PowerPoint or Google Slides to make final edits using the tools you already know. Manus creates a strong foundation that you can tailor to your exact teaching style.

Do I need teaching experience to create presentations?

Not at all. That's exactly why Manus is valuable—it handles the research on best practices, curriculum standards, and age-appropriate content presentation. If you need help with other aspects of lesson preparation, our AI writing assistant can help you draft speaker notes and teaching materials. You know your students and what they need to learn; Manus translates that into a professionally structured presentation with proper pacing and visual support.

What grade levels and subjects does this support?

Manus supports all grade levels from pre-K through high school and college. It works for any subject—math, science, English, history, foreign languages, arts, and more. The content complexity, vocabulary, and visual style automatically adjust to match your specified grade level and subject matter.

Are the presentations curriculum-aligned?

Yes. When you specify your grade level and subject, Manus researches current curriculum standards and educational best practices to ensure content alignment. To further support your lesson planning, consider using our Essay outline generator for structuring written assignments that complement your presentations. It structures lessons with clear learning objectives and age-appropriate depth. However, we recommend reviewing the final presentation to ensure it matches your specific district or state standards.

How is this different from using pre-made templates?

Templates are static—you still have to fill in all the content, research the topic, create explanations, and find appropriate images. Manus actively researches your specific topic, generates original content tailored to your grade level, creates custom visuals and diagrams, and structures everything with educational best practices. It's a complete presentation, not just a blank framework.

Can I upload my existing lesson plan or materials?

Yes! Upload your lesson plan document, curriculum guide, or reference materials, and Manus will read them to understand your teaching approach and content requirements. It then builds the presentation based on your existing materials while enhancing them with research, visuals, and proper slide structure.

Do the presentations include speaker notes?

Every slide includes detailed speaker notes with teaching tips, key points to emphasize, potential student questions to anticipate, and suggestions for engaging the class. These notes help you deliver the lesson confidently, especially if you're teaching a new topic or covering material you're less familiar with.

How long does it take to generate a presentation?

A typical 15-20 slide classroom presentation is ready in under 10 minutes. More complex presentations with extensive research or specialized topics might take 15-20 minutes. Either way, it's dramatically faster than the 2-4 hours teachers typically spend creating presentations from scratch.

Can I use these presentations for remote or hybrid teaching?

Definitely. The presentations work perfectly for in-person, remote, or hybrid classrooms. Export to your preferred format and share via Google Classroom, Canvas, or any learning management system. The visual clarity and structured flow make them especially effective for online teaching where student attention is harder to maintain.
