Looking to get a headstart in making beautiful presentations without compromising on content, tone, or precision? For execution partners like OneBridge Knowledge Partners, where pitch decks are a cornerstone of deal execution, AI tools offer meaningful support. They streamline workflows, reduce formatting time, and allow analysts to focus on strategy and messaging.

We explore how Canva, BeautifulAI, Gamma, and Tome each bring unique strengths to our workflow, ensuring speed and clarity without losing sight of the strategic narrative our clients rely on.


Visual Precision: Canva

When decks need fast visual polish, such as industry snapshots, org charts, or execution timelines, Canva helps us deliver. With brand kits, templates, and intuitive editing, Canva enables quick visual enhancements so analysts can concentrate on hierarchy and insight.

Structured Thinking: BeautifulAI

BeautifulAI brings layout logic to the table, adjusting content structure automatically. It is particularly useful for business model slides, financial highlights, and comparable summaries. We use it to shape structured content for Information Memoranda, where both speed and format consistency are critical.

Data Narrative Integration: Gamma

Gamma bridges storytelling with embedded data. It is useful for translating detailed diligence findings into interactive, narrative driven documents. The ability to layer text, visuals, and analytics in one space makes it ideal for draft presentations requiring multiple dimensions of insight.

Prompt to Deck Drafting: Tome

Tome enables rapid generation of clean, readable decks based on structured inputs. It is our go to for early stage outputs like teaser decks or company profiles, where clarity and fast drafting are essential. Analysts then step in to refine the tone and logic.

Case Example: Accelerated M&A Deck Turnaround

A client reached out with an urgent request: a 10 slide company overview, due within a few hours. With timelines compressed and no room for error, the analyst quickly mapped out the key story points and began shaping the narrative. Using Tome, an initial structure took form in minutes. Canva followed, bringing visual clarity to data-heavy sections. In the final stretch, the analyst refined tone, adjusted pacing, and ensured that each slide aligned with the broader investment rationale. Within hours, a crisp, compelling deck was ready, on time, on message, and client ready.


AI at Work: How OneBridge Enhances Deck Execution

AI tools integrate across each critical stage of our deck process. Each tool supports a distinct aspect of deck creation, from rapid structuring to visual refinement, empowering analysts to deliver high-quality outputs with greater efficiency and focus.

These tools help us move faster, but what makes a deck compelling, narrative clarity, investment logic, and message control, remains with the analyst. At OneBridge Knowledge Partners, AI tools enhance our output. But the standards are set by experience, context, and the nuanced judgment that defines effective execution.
