I use Quarto to automate slides creation and output as PowerPoint. You can even use a premade PowerPoint template so that the output slides are pretty much done.

That tool looks really cool! We hadn't come across that one before, but we did look into a lot of embedding solutions back when we were making these kinds of presentations regularly.

I think with Thorntale we're actually trying to take a slightly different route to a solution; being the actual presentation tool is going to unlock a lot of interactivity features that exporting to powerpoint probably can't ever do. Hopefully we'll be able to show some of those off after a few more months of dev!

Nice, I didn't know about it – I took a quick look at the templating options and it seems like it might do the job. Thanks!
Thanks for the recommendation, Quarto might be just what I've been looking for.
