Shiken— best for training decks with a tutor and quizzes
Shiken turns a document, transcript or brief into a branded training deck — then does what a slide tool cannot: an AI tutor that knows the deck answers learner questions, interactive quizzes sit inside the slides, an AI avatar can present it, and you get engagement analytics plus SCORM export for your LMS. It is a slide generator built for learning, not just for showing.
- Branded decks from any doc
- A tutor that knows the deck
- Interactive in-slide quizzes
- AI avatar presents the deck
- Engagement analytics & SCORM
- Free forever plan
Gamma— best for fast, good-looking general decks
