Replit Slides Gets Speaker Notes and Presenter View
ReplitReplit has expanded its AI-powered Slides tool with dedicated Speaker Notes and a Presenter View, two features that bring the workflow closer to professional presentation tools like PowerPoint and Google Slides. Speaker notes sync bidirectionally in real time between the slide editor and the live presentation window, meaning edits made on either side are immediately reflected on the other. The Presenter View allows users to control and view their notes on one device while the audience sees only the slides on another, with the view accessible from the slides artifact card on mobile devices. Replit's Agent can also draft speaker notes automatically, which presenters can then refine.

Replit Slides Adds Speaker Notes and Presenter View
Replit has shipped two new features for its AI-generated Slides product: Speaker Notes and a dedicated Presenter View. Together, these additions close a significant gap between Replit Slides and established presentation tools, making it practical to use Replit-built decks in professional and high-stakes presentation contexts.
Speaker Notes with Bidirectional Live Sync
The new Speaker Notes panel enables presenters to attach private notes to each slide — notes that are never visible to the audience but are always accessible to the presenter. What makes the implementation particularly useful is the bidirectional sync: edits made in the slide editor are immediately reflected in the presentation window, and vice versa. This means a presenter can make last-minute note adjustments from either view without breaking flow or needing to reload anything.
Replit's Agent can also generate speaker notes automatically. Presenters can prompt the Agent to draft talking points for each slide based on the slide content, then refine the output manually. This dramatically reduces the time needed to prepare a deck for a live audience after the initial AI-assisted design phase.
Presenter View for Multi-Device Workflows
The Presenter View gives speakers a dedicated interface showing the current slide, upcoming slides, and their private speaker notes — while the audience sees only the clean slide content. This enables the classic two-screen workflow: the presenter's laptop displays the Presenter View while a projector or shared screen shows the public-facing slides.
The Presenter View is accessible directly from the slides artifact card on mobile, which means presenters can use a phone as their clicker/notes display while a connected display shows the deck. This is a practical addition for anyone presenting in environments where only one screen is connected to a projector.
Context
Replit Slides launched on May 1, 2026 as part of Replit's tenth anniversary, enabling users to generate full presentation decks from natural language prompts using Agent. Decks are built with React, export to PPTX, Google Slides, or PDF, and can be published as live URLs. Speaker Notes and Presenter View are the first significant capability additions to Slides since launch, and they position the tool as suitable not just for quickly drafting presentations but for actually delivering them.
The features are available to all Core and Pro plan users who have access to Slides.
