5-month tracking: AI saves PPT designer 90 hours of work
max_bakes56 · reddit · 2026-08-18
A freelance presentation designer tracked their workflow over 5 months and found that using AI reduced the average time per deck from 6-7 hours to 3.5 hours, saving roughly 90 hours total (equivalent to two work weeks). The efficiency gain came not from visual design, but from feeding client notes/transcripts into Oria within PowerPoint to generate structured copy drafts, eliminating the "blank slide" block.
