Generate a presentation

Once you have references and at least one template, you’re ready to generate a presentation in Hublyd. Presentation generation can be triggered from different places in the app, but in this article we’ll focus on generating slides from the Generate page, which is the most common and guided flow.

Step 1: Choose what you want to generate

From the Generate page, you’ll first be asked what type of content you want to create.

For this guide, select Slides.

This tells Hublyd that you want to generate a presentation using your references and templates.

Step 2: Search and select your references

Next, you’ll choose which references should be used to populate your slides. Hublyd offers two ways to search and select references.

Option 1: Classic search and filters

You can use:

  • The search bar to look for references by keyword

  • Filters to narrow results by attributes (industry, location, tags, etc.)

You can freely:

  • Select and unselect references

  • Combine filters and search terms

This method gives you full manual control over which references are included.

Option 2: Smart Search (AI-powered)

Note: this feature is only availbale on premium plans (Warm up and Podium)

You can also use Smart Search, which performs an AI-powered search across your entire reference database.

Simply describe what you’re looking for (for example: a specific industry, use case, or type of client), and Hublyd’s AI will automatically select the most relevant references.

This is ideal when:

  • You don’t know exactly which references to pick

  • You want the most relevant results fast

Step 3: Configure and generate your presentation

Once your references are selected, you’ll configure how your presentation will be generated.

Choose a template

Select one of the slide templates you created earlier. The template defines the structure and layout of your presentation.

Name your presentation

Give your presentation a name so you can easily find it later in your library.

Select the language

Choose the language for the generated slides:

  • Select from the included languages in your workspace

  • Or define a custom language

Please note:

  • Custom languages can be disabled by an admin

  • Custom languages may generate additional costs depending on your subscription plan

After generation: edit, validate, and export

Once the slides are generated, you can:

  • Open them in the slide editor

  • Make final edits to text, images, or layout

  • Validate the presentation

When you’re ready, you can export your slides in:

  • PDF

  • PowerPoint (PPTX)

This allows you to share or present your slides anywhere.
