ClickUp Guide to Gemini in Google Slides

ClickUp can support every stage of your Gemini and Google Slides workflow, from planning slide content to tracking feedback and polishing your final presentation. This guide walks you through how to use Gemini in Google Slides effectively and keep the entire process organized in ClickUp.

By combining AI-powered slide creation with structured task management, you can move from idea to finished deck faster, while keeping stakeholders aligned.

What You Need Before You Start With ClickUp and Gemini

Before building your first AI-assisted presentation, confirm you have the right tools and access configured.

• A Google account with access to Google Slides
• Gemini enabled in your Google Workspace or personal account
• A ClickUp Workspace to manage content, reviews, and tasks

Once these are set, you can move smoothly between drafting in Slides and tracking your work in ClickUp.

How to Access Gemini in Google Slides

Gemini is built into Google Slides so you can generate and refine content directly inside your deck.

Step 1: Open a New or Existing Slides File

1. Sign in to your Google account.
2. Open Google Slides from the app launcher or go to slides.new.
3. Create a new blank presentation or open an existing deck you want to enhance.

Using ClickUp, you can link this deck to a task so the document stays connected to your project plan.

Step 2: Launch Gemini in Slides

1. Inside your Google Slides file, locate the right-side panel or the Tools / Extensions options, depending on your interface.
2. Look for the Gemini panel or Gemini icon.
3. Open the Gemini panel to start prompting and generating slide content.

This Gemini side panel is where you will write prompts, refine text, and brainstorm ideas that later align with requirements captured in ClickUp tasks.

How to Use Gemini to Draft Slide Content

Gemini helps you move from a blank slide to a structured presentation using natural language prompts.

Step 3: Start With a Clear Prompt

In the Gemini panel, describe the type of presentation you want. For example:

• “Create a 10-slide pitch deck for a SaaS productivity app.”
• “Outline a training presentation about onboarding remote employees.”
• “Draft slides that summarize our marketing strategy for Q4.”

Capture the prompt in a ClickUp task description or comment so your team sees the original request and context.

Step 4: Generate an Outline With Gemini

1. Ask Gemini to create a slide-by-slide outline.
2. Review the proposed slide titles and bullet points.
3. Remove any sections that are out of scope.
4. Ask Gemini to expand or shorten specific slides as needed.

This outline becomes the structure you can later use in ClickUp to create subtasks for each key slide or section.

Step 5: Refine Slide Text

Once the outline looks right, refine the text Gemini provides:

• Ask for alternative wording for complex points.
• Request tone changes (more formal, more persuasive, more concise).
• Generate short bullet lists instead of long paragraphs.
• Create speaker notes for each slide to guide presenters.

Copy the final talking points or speaker notes into ClickUp so your team can comment and propose edits before you lock the deck.

Using ClickUp to Plan and Manage Your Slides

While Gemini and Google Slides handle content generation, ClickUp helps you plan, assign, and track all tasks linked to your presentation.

Create a ClickUp Space or Folder for Presentations

1. Create a dedicated Space or Folder in ClickUp for marketing, sales, or internal training presentations.
2. Add a List for each major deck or campaign.
3. Within each List, create tasks for the main presentation and major sections (e.g., introduction, product overview, pricing, case studies).

This structure keeps all Slides links, Gemini prompts, and feedback in one organized place.

Use ClickUp Tasks to Track Slide Work

For each presentation, set up tasks and subtasks such as:

• Define presentation goals and audience.
• Draft initial outline with Gemini.
• Review outline with stakeholders.
• Generate first content pass in Google Slides.
• Gather feedback and revisions.
• Finalize visuals and design.
• Run final review and approval.

Attach the Google Slides link to the main task in ClickUp so your collaborators can open the deck instantly.

Collaborating on AI-Generated Slides With ClickUp

AI can speed up drafting, but strong results depend on structured review. This is where ClickUp becomes essential.

Centralize Feedback in ClickUp Comments

1. Share the Slides link in a ClickUp task.
2. Ask reviewers to add feedback directly in ClickUp comments, linking to slide numbers or sections.
3. Convert key comments into subtasks for specific changes.
4. Assign each change to the right owner with due dates.

This prevents feedback from getting lost across email threads and keeps the change log transparent.

Use ClickUp Custom Fields for Status Tracking

Add custom fields in ClickUp to track details such as:

• Presentation type (Pitch, Training, Report, Webinar)
• Stage (Outline, Draft, Review, Final)
• Owner and reviewer
• Target presentation date

These fields make it simple to filter which presentations are still in Gemini drafting, in active review, or fully approved.

Best Practices for Gemini and ClickUp Workflows

To get the most from AI-generated presentations while staying organized, follow a few practical best practices.

Write Strong Prompts for Gemini

In your Gemini prompts, always include:

• Who the audience is and what they care about.
• The goal of the presentation (inform, persuade, train, report).
• Preferred length or slide count.
• Key talking points or data that must be included.

Store these prompt templates as checklists or Docs inside ClickUp so your team can reuse and improve them over time.

Keep a Version History in ClickUp

1. Each time you make major Gemini revisions, log them in the ClickUp task.
2. Note what changed, why it changed, and who approved it.
3. Attach or link to earlier versions of the Slides deck if needed.

This creates a clear audit trail, especially useful for sales, compliance, or training teams.

Improving Your Presentation Process Over Time

As your team creates more AI-assisted decks, use ClickUp to measure and refine your process.

• Track how long each stage (outline, draft, review) takes.
• Capture common feedback themes and update your Gemini prompt templates.
• Standardize slide structures, branding notes, and speaker guidelines in shared ClickUp Docs.
