The best tool to build sales decks from content you already have.

If your company has lots of existing content and needs a sales team to search it and turn it into customer decks automatically, you need more than an AI presentation maker. You need a tool that reads all your files, finds the right material by meaning, builds the deck in your brand, and shows what the customer read. Coadie, the AI sales deck builder, is built for exactly this; here is how to judge it against the alternatives.

What to look for

What should the tool be able to do?

01

Read all your content, as it is

PowerPoint, PDF, Word, spreadsheets, pictures and web pages, plus the places it lives (Google Drive, SharePoint), without anyone tagging or reorganising it first.

02

Search by meaning, across everything

A rep types the customer’s problem and gets the slides that answer it, from every file the team has uploaded, not just one document.

03

Build the deck automatically

The right slides, in the order the buyer thinks in, in about the time it takes to make a coffee.

04

Keep it accurate

Claims and figures come from your material and can be traced to it; nothing is invented to fill a gap.

05

Keep it on brand

Every slide, including ones pulled from old or outside files, in the company theme.

06

Show what happens after sending

Trackable links with per-slide reading, ideally logged to the CRM.

07

Work for a team

A shared library, named seats, single sign-on, and a price you can roll out.

Honest limits

Where does Coadie fall short?

  • No Notion import. Content comes from uploads, web pages, Google Drive, SharePoint and Highspot (the last three on Enterprise).
  • No locking of individual slides inside a deck. Instead, the library’s original slides cannot be changed from a deck, colleagues can be given view-only access, and files marked Draft, Confidential or Do not use are kept out of every build.
  • No free trial. We set the first deck up with you, on your own material.
  • No SOC 2 certificate yet. See security for exactly what is in place.
Deploying

How do you roll it out to a sales team?

01

Gather the content

Collect the decks, case studies, PDFs and product sheets reps actually use. Mark drafts and anything retired.

02

Upload once

Coadie reads and indexes every slide; nobody tags anything.

03

Set the theme

Upload the company PowerPoint so every deck starts on brand.

04

Give reps seats

Pro for individuals, or Enterprise for named seats, a company library, single sign-on and CRM logging.

05

Measure

Watch which slides customers read and which content reps use most, and prune the library.

Questions

Questions buyers ask.

What is the best tool to build decks automatically from lots of existing content?

Look for a tool that reads all your file types, searches them by meaning, builds the deck in your brand, traces claims to sources and tracks reading after sending. Coadie, the AI sales deck builder, does all five for sales teams; Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint is a natural choice if you already pay for Microsoft 365 and mainly start from Word documents.

Can Coadie search through all our sales content?

Yes. Every file your team uploads is indexed automatically, and both reps and the assistant search across all of it by meaning, not just by exact words.

Does Coadie actually create presentations?

Yes. Coadie builds complete slide decks in your theme, which you can present, share as a tracked link, or download as editable PowerPoint or as PDF.

Does Coadie integrate with Salesforce and HubSpot?

Yes, on Enterprise: each customer visit to a shared deck is written to the deal, and a button on a Salesforce opportunity can start a deck.

Is Coadie the same as Codia?

No. Coadie is an AI sales deck builder. It is not related to Codia (codia.ai).
