Put brand colours on generated slides before you send the file
A default purple-and-stock-photo deck looks like every other AI file in the inbox. Apply your colours, type, and logo after the structure is right.
Get the argument stable first. Then skin it. Regenerating for a new palette often rewrites claims you already fixed.

Logo once
A mark on the title and closer is enough. A logo on every generated footer is noise.
Frequently asked questions

You can try. Verify in PowerPoint; models miss values.
What if legal needs an approved template?
Generate into a blank theme, then copy slides into the approved file.
