Why Trust This Guide

I have used Pitch for two years across client work and internal updates. Every screen here comes from my own account, not a vendor demo.

Pitch is an AI presentation maker built for teams that send decks to potential clients.

Most people open it, pick a template, and never touch the parts that actually save time.

This guide shows you how to use Pitch AI properly, feature by feature.

Used well, these AI tools cut the pitching process from a full day to about an hour.

Short steps, real screens, and the mistakes worth skipping.

How to Use Pitch AI Presentation Maker

The AI presentation maker writes your first draft from a single prompt.

Step 1: Open the AI generator

Click the New Pitch button on your dashboard.

Pick Generate with AI instead of a blank file.

Step 2: Write a descriptive prompt

Describe the topic audience and goal in two or three lines.

A vague prompt gives vague slides so add real details.

Step 3: Review and refine the draft

Read every slide before you share it with anyone.

How to Create Pitch Branded Templates

Create Branded Templates saves your brand assets so nothing drifts off style.

Step 3: Swap in your own content

Replace the placeholder text and images slide by slide.

How to Use Pitch Separate Clients Rooms

Separate Rooms for Specific Clients bundles a deck with supporting files behind one link.

Here is how to use it step by step.

Step 1: Create a new room

Open the Rooms tab and click New room.

Name it after the client so your list stays readable.

Step 2: Add your deck and extras

Drop in the presentation plus pricing sheets or case studies.

Everything sits in one place for potential clients to browse.

Here is what this looks like:

✓ Checkpoint: The room preview loads with your deck listed first.

Step 3: Share the secure link

Copy the room link and email it instead of an attachment.

How to Overview Pitch Links

Links Overview shows engagement analytics for every link you send out.

Here is how to use it step by step.

Step 1: Open the analytics panel

Click Links at the top of any presentation.

You will see each shared link listed separately.

Step 2: Read the slide level data

Check which slides were viewed and for how long.

Long dwell time usually flags the slide that sold the idea.

Step 3: Time your follow up

Reach out the same day a viewer opens the deck again.

How to Use Pitch Slides Maker

Remove the background to isolate a product shot in one click.

Sharpen low resolution files so they hold up on a projector.

Step 3: Extend the frame if needed

Use outpainting to stretch a visual past its original borders.

How to Use Pitch Team Manager

Step 1: Invite your team

Open Members and paste in work email addresses.

Assign a role as you send each invite.

Step 2: Set folder permissions

Lock the brand folder to editors only.

Everyone else keeps view access so templates stay intact.

Here is what this looks like:

✓ Checkpoint: Member avatars appear in the top right of the editor.

Step 3: Work in the same file

Leave comments on a slide instead of emailing feedback.

How to Use Pitch Integrations

Powerful Integration pulls live content from other tools onto a slide.

Here is how to use it step by step.

Step 1: Open the embed menu

Press the plus icon then choose Embed.

Step 2: Paste your link

Here is how to use it step by step.

Step 1: Browse the gallery

Open the gallery from the Pitch homepage and sort by category.

Note how many slides each deck spends on the problem.

Strong examples front load the story before the numbers.

Here is what this looks like:

✓ Checkpoint: The copied deck appears in your own file list.

Pitch Pro Tips and Shortcuts

After two years inside this tool, these are the habits that saved me the most time.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Hidden Features Most People Miss

• AI Actions on text: Highlight any text block and pick Shorten, Lengthen or Rewrite to fix the right tone in one click.
• Reusable brand assets: Pitch can pull images from your saved library, so you stop scrolling folders for the same logo.
• Room level updates: Edit a deck already inside a room and the shared link updates instantly for every reader.

Pitch Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistake #1: Shipping the first AI draft

Mistake #2: Sending a PDF instead of a room

Mistake #3: Skipping the brand setup

Pitch Troubleshooting

Problem: The AI generator returns generic slides

Cause: Your prompt was too short, so the model had nothing specific to work with.

Fix: Rewrite it with your audience, product details and the outcome you want. Add numbers if you have them.

Problem: Fonts look wrong for viewers

Cause: A custom font was uploaded but not licensed for web embedding.

Fix: Switch to a system font in your template, or upload the web licensed file in workspace settings.

Problem: An embedded YouTube clip shows a consent screen

Cause: Pitch loads the video from YouTube directly, so signed out viewers first get a prompt to continue to YouTube.

Fix: Nothing is broken on the Pitch side. That screen is standard Google wording and it helps to know what it says.

It explains that Google and its partners use cookies and data to deliver and maintain Google services.

The same notice covers work to track outages and protect against spam fraud and abuse.

It also says Google will measure audience engagement and site statistics to understand how our services are used.

📌 Note: If none of these fix your issue, contact Pitch support from the workspace menu.
