This week brings expanded participant data collection capabilities, streamlined access management, and significant AI-powered content creation improvements. We’ve introduced a more flexible participant information collecting system, made requesting presentation access effortless, and completely upgraded our AI import and generation workflow for faster, more reliable results.
Participant Information collection system
Enhanced data collection with intuitive setup
We’ve completely redesigned how you collect participant information with a fresh UI/UX and expanded customisation options to gather exactly the data you need.
What’s New:
8 Total Information Fields: Collect comprehensive participant data across multiple touchpoints
3 System Fields: Name, Email, and Avatar (updated from the previous Name, Email, Organisation setup)
5 Custom Fields: Fully customizable based on your specific requirements
Editable Field Labels: Customise how you ask for information to match your presentation style and audience needs
Consistent Experience: Same intuitive interface across all collection points
Flexible Implementation: Available in both Presentation settings (Collect audience info before joining) and individual Slide settings (Open-Ended or Brainstorm slides)
Enhanced Presenter Experience: Ideal for workshops, training sessions, and research presentations where detailed participant insights drive better engagement and follow-up.
Request Access Enhancement
Streamlined Email-to-Access Flow
We’ve eliminated friction in the access request process by automatically pre-filling requester information when presentation owners respond to access requests.
What’s changed: Auto-filled Requester Email: When you click the request access link from your email notification, the requester’s email address is automatically populated.
What are the impacts?
One-Click Processing: No more manual typing or copy-pasting email addresses
Faster Response Time: Approve or manage access requests instantly without additional data entry
Reduced Errors: Eliminates typos and ensures accurate email matching
Perfect for busy presenters managing multiple access requests or team environments where quick approval workflows are essential.
AI content creation updates
Upgraded import and generation workflow
We’ve transformed our AI-powered content creation process, moving from a basic import tool to an intelligent, conversational content development system.
What’s Enhanced:
Upgraded PPTX/PDF import: Your uploaded files now integrate with our AI Chatbot as a knowledge source.
Upgraded image import: You no longer need to save the image, just paste the screenshot and our AI Chatbot will take that as a reference point for knowledge source.
New Advantages:
Full iterative control: Refine content through conversation before slide creation
Complete editability: Generated slides are fully customizable after creation
Higher quality output: Curated content produces more professional, tailored presentations
Impact for training professionals and power users:
Accelerated preparation: Transform lengthy documents into clean, editable talking points efficiently
Session personalization: Customize content for specific classes or clients through pre-generation chat refinement
Consistent messaging: Maintain narrative coherence across multiple presentation sessions
Streamlined workflow: From document upload to final slides with minimal manual intervention
What’s next?
We’re continuing to enhance your presentation creation and management experience with more intelligent features and seamless integrations coming soon. Keep an eye out for our next releases and don’t hesitate to reach out with feedback or questions.
