Decka
Decka is a cloud-based slide tool focused on creating interactive presentations for live audiences. It combines a design-oriented editor with real-time audience engagement features, allowing presenters to embed polls, word clouds, open-text responses, and emoji reactions directly into slides. The tool also provides AI-generated presentation drafts and AI-driven summaries of audience responses, making it easier to adjust content on the fly and gather structured feedback during and after a session. Decka is positioned as a standalone editor that also works as a PowerPoint add-in and a Google Slides extension, broadening its compatibility with common enterprise presentation workflows. On the creation side, Decka includes a freeform editor for crafting slides with images, shapes, charts, tables, text, Lottie animations, and embedded content. It supports real-time collaboration, themes, and animations to help presenters build polished decks quickly. A library of free templates is available for various use cases, including startup pitch decks, education materials, project proposals, and team activities. The AI presentation maker can generate a first draft, which users can then refine in the editor. The main differentiator of Decka is its live interaction layer. When a presenter goes fullscreen, audience members can scan a QR code from their phones to join the session. They can then send emoji reactions that fly across the shared screen, answer questions through polls or word clouds, and leave comments pinned to specific slides. Decka captures the timing and context of these interactions, and its AI connects insights to the relevant slide. This enables presenters to see not just what people said, but which parts of the deck generated the strongest response. Decka is offered as a free-to-start SaaS platform, with no credit card required to sign up. It targets anyone delivering presentations live, from business teams and educators to event hosts and creators. The product foc

Problem solved
Traditional slide tools are designed for one-way broadcasting and provide no live feedback channel, making it hard for presenters to gauge audience engagement or adjust content in real time. Decka solves this by embedding interactive audience activities such as polls, word clouds, open-text responses, and emoji reactions directly into slides, and by using AI to summarize what the audience actually said or felt during the presentation.
