Introducing AI Chat + JavaScript Entrance Animations

Now you can chat with AI to generate simple JavaScript animations for your slide, making it easier to bring your ideas to life. Update to the latest version to give it a try and let us know what you think! To help you get started, we have a video walkthrough, a tutorial course, and documentation to learn more about how it works, see sample prompts, and animation examples that can all be found here.

 

Why JavaScript?This update is our first step in helping authors experiment and push creative boundaries. Based on your feedback, we’re already working on support for built-in animations—and we’ll be sharing a preview soon! We’re also exploring more ways AI can handle tedious tasks for you, so let us know what you’d like AI Assistant to be able to do for you! 

 

Try It Out!Use AI Chat to make an object fly in from the right side of the screen after one second. Feel free to get creative—frisbee flying across a park? Plane flying across a cloudy sky? Sky's the limit (see what we did there?)! Share your example in the comments below!

    Here's my example of a plane flying across the sky while clouds move subtly back and forth. I also added a screenshot of my chat in case anyone wants to see.

    Thanks so much for sharing this, AnnieKim18​ ! This is such a cool feature. I just spent some time playing around with it and made this little test snowflake animation, since I'm located in the mid Hudson Valley in New York and we have a snowy day today. 

    This is so huge for making more complex animations accessible to those who don't have Javascript skills (me!). 

    For those that are playing around with this, I learned I had better results when I tried to break down my instructions for the assistant into small pieces instead of trying to describe the end result I wanted. So for example it worked better to ask the AI assistant to first move the snowflake up on the right side of the page and then add a slight downward trajectory than it did to ask to to all at once start from the top right corner and end in the left corner. 

    I really enjoyed playing around with this and am excited to see what everyone else does with it!
