Numbers you must paste yourself into an AI deck

Revenue, headcount, and clinical results do not belong to a language model. MagicSlides can layout the slide; you still type the figure from a system of record.

If a chart looks complete on first generate, assume it is decorative until you replace the data. The product already warns that charts get invented. Believe it.

Yellow-pen the figures

After export, search the PPTX for digits. Every run of numbers should have a parent in a spreadsheet you own.

Regenerating one slide will happily invent a new pie. Paste from the sheet instead.

Units and dates

A percent without a year is a slogan. Write the period on the slide or take the number off.

Frequently asked questions

Can I generate a chart from CSV?

Build the chart in the spreadsheet, then place it. Do not ask the model to “visualise Q3” from memory.

What about round numbers in a pitch?

Round after you copy the real figure. Rounding a hallucination is still a hallucination.
