I will start off my review by mentioning that I purchased the highest tier lifetime plan and don't plan to return it. My most important fear was addressed by the founders before I purchased in that the data is stored in Germany and not in Hong Kong, where the company is based. It will be important to preserve this going forward and to get a security review of the code.

With this mentioned, I am going to focus the rest of my review on the product itself.

A great presentation should be about 75% images and infographics and only 25% or less actual words. Gamma, which I am a subscriber to, does a good job of adhering to this principle. Presenti, on the other hand, seems to reverse the principle and provide about 80% text and about 20% images. For example, in a presentation I created with Presenti about AI, Presenti created large blocks of text that I as the speaker could not even read because the text was so dense. If I could not read the text, there is no way that an audience could read it. So, I think reversing this ratio is by far the most important priority for the developers. Test out giving Gamma materials and then try again with Presenti and notice the difference, and then keep trying to reduce this difference.

A great presentation takes a long time to create because it involves identifying the key concepts and then making images and infographics that highlight those concepts and that tell a compelling story. It truly is simplicity on the far side of complexity.

I would like to be able to use Presenti to bridge this gap between the complexity of any subject I might be presenting on and the simplicity of creating straightforward and beautiful slides that capture the essence of the materials and that help keep audiences interested and able to grasp the key points.

As long as I can continue to be comfortable on the data privacy and security sides of things and the quality of the presentations improves as I recommend above, I hope to be able to drop my Gamma subscription by the time it renews in 8 months and just use Presenti.
