The launch of conversational and generative AI has taken the internet by storm. While ChatGPT can talk to humans in natural language, text-to-image models like DALL-E2, Stable Diffusion and Midjourney have boosted digital art. But with the introduction of ChatBCG, we now have text–to-slides, as well.
Developed by Stanford AI PhD students Silas Alberti and Joseph Semrai, ChatBCG implements the BCG-3 (Bi-modal Conditional Generation) model. You can add a topic or prompt and let the chatbot “Do magic”.
With ChatBCG, you can access the features of multiple themes, layouts, images, infographics, outlines, headings, and bullet points and also make keywords in bold. The key highlight of this tool is that you can also export the slides in PPTX and PTF formats. More features like conversational editing, data-driven charts and using content from your blog will soon be added. We tried using ChatBCG to generate slides, but we could not export the results as it showed “usage quota exceeded”, indicating that the product needs to be upgraded.
Last week, OpenAI’s conversational chatbot ChatGPT found its rival in Writesonic’s Chatsonic as it has the features of both ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion. Built on GGPT-3.5, Chatsonic can also create digital art because the open-sourced text-to-image AI, Stable Diffusion, by Stability AI, is integrated with Chatsonic. Users can chat with Chatsonic and ask it to simultaneously generate an image. ChatBCG is supposed to be scaled up to include features that can give a tough fight to its contemporaries.
