# Slidely AI

> Slidely AI is available both as a **web app** and as a **PowerPoint add‑in**. It helps teams generate, edit, and format on‑brand slides either in the browser or directly inside Microsoft PowerPoint. Slidely is unique because its AI is trained to work with native PowerPoint format instead of HTML slides. Because of this, Slidely can directly use company templates to create and edit PowerPoint slides with master layouts, fonts and colors.
