Slides,
questions,
one room.
Some tools make the slides. Others run polls and quizzes beside them. PPTX.ai does both: it writes the talk with the questions in it, then runs it live while the room answers on their phones. Here is how it compares, including what it doesn’t do.
Example: the poll “Which shift would you pick?” filling in on the big screen as people answer on their phones.
