Introducing Zia AI in Zoho Show

Introducing Zia AI in Zoho Show



AI is no longer a distant concept. It’s one of our everyday tools, from answering casual questions to generating critical business documents. And presentations are one area where AI can be especially helpful.

At Zoho Show, we’ve been deliberate in how we integrate AI. Our goal wasn’t to replace your creativity, but to enhance it. We wanted to build an assistant who collaborates with you, not one who takes over.

Today, we’re excited to introduce you to Zia, your smart presentation assistant in Zoho Show. In this post, we’ll walk you through everything it can do for you.

Get a head start by generating presentations 

You no longer have to begin your presentations from scratch. Zia can instantly generate presentations based on your visual style and content tone. It will also give you a solid framework that you can build on later.



Add more slides to existing presentation

Once you’ve created a few slides, you can generate additional ones that align with your existing content and add them right away.


​

Bring life to images and content

With Zia, you can generate both content and visuals for a slide based on its title. The text and images are designed to align well with your layout, reducing the need for manual adjustments.
​

Enhance slide content

If your content feels unclear or incomplete, Zia can help refine and enhance it, while keeping your original message intact.

Shorten and summarize your content

You can shorten content to maintain balance in your design. If you want to make your content crisp, try the summarizing option—Zia will read the content, analyze it, and give you the key points.

Turn huge paragraphs into lists

Bulleted lists are easier to read than long paragraphs. Zia can quickly break down your content and convert it into easy-to-digest bullet points.

That's not the end! We’re continuously enhancing and extending these capabilities to assist you through out your presentation journey.
If you use the Zoho Show mobile app, we’ve got good news! Zia AI features are in development for both Android and iOS and will be available to you soon.

We can't wait for you to try out AI in Zoho Show. Let us know your experience in the comments below.

    • Three smart ways to share your presentation with Zoho Show.

      "What is the best way to share a presentation?", a lingering question that is asked after every live session or a meeting. Sharing presentations can be time consuming. It can be done, either by attaching the file to an email or by saving it in a pen drive. But what happens when your file size is large or your team is spread across the globe? Zoho Show lets you share your presentations both internally and externally without worrying about the file size. You can share your slides as a link and decide

    • Convey Your Ideas and Convince Your Audience with Zoho Show

      Visual presentations are highly impactful and it is a no-brainer that your audience gets attracted to them. The use of images and videos help you reach your objectives by emphasizing your ideas more effectively.  According to the psychologist Jerome Bruner of New York University, "people only remember 10% of what they hear and 20% of what they read, but about 80% of what they see and do." For example, if the above data on its own, was presented visually, there is an 80% chance that the information
