How much AI can do

Budgets

Budgets are what the posts state: USD uses the upper end of fixed-price budgets (Freelancer uses brackets, so percentiles often land on $30, $250 or $750); CNY uses the stated budget. Neither is the final deal price. Last 4 weeks of posts; fewer than 3 posts means no percentiles; other currencies are counted, not converted.

Prices and partner terms come from each vendor's official pricing pages (check dates on each card) and change over time. Prices may vary by region, and tax may be added at checkout; the official page is always the final word. “Price not verified” means we haven't checked the pricing page yet. Links go through our redirect page: “Affiliate” means we may earn a commission; “Has an affiliate program” means we don't have a link yet.

Get started

Get started

Four general steps: pick tools → make samples → list a service or bid → let AI draft, check by hand

Pick your tools

An AI presentation tool for the first version, a template-based design tool to match the client's brand, and an AI model to help with the outline and speaker notes.

Make 2–3 sample decks

Make a few sample decks for different situations (investor pitch, sales proposal, internal training), eight to twelve slides each, and add them to your portfolio.

List a service or bid

Price in tiers by number of slides. State what material the client provides, how many revisions you allow and the delivery format (PPTX, PDF or online slides).

Let AI draft, check by hand

AI produces the slides. You go through them one by one: does each title make its point in one sentence, are the numbers and sources right, are fonts and colors consistent?
