How to replace PowerPoint training with AI-built courses
Stop rebuilding decks every quarter. Migrate existing PowerPoints to AI-generated interactive courses, archive the old slides, and reclaim authoring weeks each year.
Step-by-step
Inventory your existing PowerPoint training
List every active training deck across your shared drive: onboarding, brand standards, SOPs, compliance, role-specific. Note last-updated date and assignment frequency. Decks updated more than once a year are highest-value migration candidates - those are the ones eating authoring weeks. Static decks (rarely changed compliance) are lower priority but still worth migrating for tracking.
Upload each PowerPoint to Aristotl
Drag each .pptx file into the upload zone. Aristotl reads slide text, speaker notes, embedded images, and tables. The parsed output preserves your structure - slide titles become module headings, bullets become content, embedded screenshots stay where they are. No reformatting, no copy-paste. A 40-slide deck parses in under a minute.
Generate the interactive equivalent
Click 'Generate course' on each parsed deck. Aristotl converts passive slides into interactive modules: knowledge checks replace 'click next', scenario questions replace static text, completion bars replace 'final slide'. The course delivers the same content but pedagogically grounded - Socratic prompts, problem-based learning, spaced retrieval. Review each module and approve. A 40-slide deck becomes a 30-minute course.
Migrate assignments and archive the old decks
Re-assign every cohort that previously received the deck to the new course, keeping the same target locations and roles. Move the original .pptx files to an archive folder labeled 'replaced YYYY-MM-DD'. From this point, every quarterly update happens in Aristotl - edit the source SOP, regenerate, push the diff. No more 'find the latest deck version', no more drift between regional copies.
