AI presentation, video and voice tools for AEC
Short answer
What are presentations and media tools for?
Proposals, competition entries and marketing take a large share of a practice's non-billable time. These tools draft decks from an outline, design brochures and social posts, and record narration.
The output looks finished, and that is the risk: a polished slide with a wrong area, or an AI image passed off as a design, causes real problems.

How do you choose and use one well?
Start from your own content
Give it your brief, approved text and real project images rather than letting it invent.
Use your brand kit
Set your firm's fonts, colours and logo so that every output stays on brand.
Check licences
Read the commercial-use terms for generated images, video and voices.
Get consent for voices
Only clone or use a person's voice with their written consent.
Watch out for
- Invented facts and figures in AI-written slides
- AI images passed off as designs
- Voice cloning without consent
Presentations and media: common questions
Which tool should we try first?
- For decks from notes, try Gamma; for brochures and social posts, Canva; for narration, ElevenLabs. Each has a free plan to test with, with limits. Check the commercial-use terms before client work.
Can we use AI-generated video and voice in client presentations?
- Yes, if the tool's licence allows commercial use and AI images are labelled as concepts. Check every fact on screen, and use a person's voice only with their consent.
