Prezi
Interactive presentation platform that builds decks with AI or from imported slides and adds live polls, quizzes and Q&A.
Prezi is an interactive presentation platform. A presenter brings in an existing deck (PowerPoint, PDF, Canva and Google Slides files are accepted) or types a topic and lets Prezi draft the deck with AI. During the session the audience scans a QR code to join polls, quizzes and Q&A, and afterwards a shared link offers the material for review.
Best for Teachers, lecturers and trainers who want audience participation during a session and a way to check afterwards what people understood.

What is Prezi?
Prezi is a presentation platform built around participation and follow-up. A deck can come from existing slides, which are imported from PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva, PDF or Word with formatting kept, or from a one-sentence description that the AI turns into an editable draft. Polls, quizzes, Q&A and word clouds are planned while building and opened at the right moment while presenting, all on the same screen. Audience members join by scanning a QR code on their phones, with no app or account, whether they are in the room or on a call. After the session the presentation becomes a link where people can watch a narrated video, listen to a podcast version, read the transcript or practise with flashcards and self-tests. Presenters see results by question and a feedback digest. Training teams can export to an LMS through SCORM, and decks can be saved as PPTX or PDF.
