Interactive presentation software with live polls, quizzes and Q&A, plus an AI presentation maker; works standalone and as a PowerPoint/Google Slides add-in.
AhaSlides is interactive presentation software built around audience engagement — live polls, quizzes, word clouds, Q&A and rating scales that people answer from their phones in real time. It's used for classrooms, training, webinars, events and team meetings, and it leans on live interaction rather than polished static decks. It runs as a standalone web app and also offers a PowerPoint add-in and a Google Slides integration so you can drop interactive slides into decks you already have.
The most important thing to know: this is an engagement tool first, not a design-led deck generator. There is an AI element (AhaSlides markets "AI agents" and an AI presentation maker), but the core value is live polling and real-time responses, and it has a genuine free plan.
It sits in AI presentation makers and AI slide generators.
Real-time audience interaction. Polls, quizzes, word clouds and Q&A run live; audiences join by QR code or link and respond on their own devices, which makes it strong for teaching, workshops and events.
It plugs into tools you already use. A PowerPoint add-in and a Google Slides integration let you embed interactive AhaSlides slides inside existing decks rather than rebuilding them.
A usable free plan. The free tier gives core features and hosting with a limited number of participants, so you can run real sessions before paying.
The free plan covers core features and live hosting with a capped participant count. Paid tiers (named on the site but without exact prices on the page captured) raise participant limits and add more question types and features, with yearly billing advertised at a large discount. Pricing wasn't fully shown at capture — confirm current plans and prices on AhaSlides' pricing page.
Teachers, trainers, event hosts and team leads who want live audience participation during a presentation, and who value real-time polling over producing a design-heavy deck.
If you need an AI tool that generates a finished, editable PowerPoint deck from a prompt, this isn't primarily that — its strength is live interaction. Prompt-based slide generation and PPTX/PDF export of full decks aren't clearly described, so verify them if that's your main need.
Pricing, free-plan limits and features change often — check the current details on AhaSlides' site before relying on them.
