How to Use Duet AI in Google Slides
Ever spent hours looking for the perfect images to add to your presentations? And even then, there must have been times when you did not find exactly what you were looking for. Duet AI lets you generate images based on your prompts in Google Slides to eliminate this laborious and time-consuming process. Whether it’s an early concept or a final visual that you have in mind, Duet AI will help you get the most appropriate images for your presentations. Here’s how to use it.
Step 1: Open Google Slides on your web browser and sign in to your account.
Step 2: Open a new or existing presentation. Then, click on Insert at the top Menu Bar.
Step 3: Click on Image and select ‘Create Image With Duet AI.’
The Duet AI window will open on the right side of your screen.
Step 4: Enter the text prompt for your image, depending on what you need. For instance, we prompted the service to show us photos of ‘a flower in a desert.’
Step 5: Select the Style to filter your image results based on the Background, Photography, Vector Art, and more.
Step 6: Click on Create to get results.
Duet AI will now generate images based on your input. You will see four image results at a time. You can click the Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down icon to give your feedback on the results.

As of writing this post, Duet AI is incapable of providing results for every prompt you enter. It is limited to generating images of sceneries and landscapes. You can keep giving feedback on the results to help Google improve Duet AI.

Another new addition to Google Slides with Duet AI is the option to remove the image background. You don’t have to rely on any third-party apps to remove backgrounds from images. Here’s how you can use the feature in Google Slides.
Step 1: Open your presentation in Google Slides and insert the image whose background you want to remove.
Step 2: After attaching the image, right-click on the image and click on Remove Background.
