Does this replace a skill, or just the boring part of one?
Google's Gemini can build a full client presentation in minutes. So is that skill obsolete, or was the mechanical part never the skill?

What actually changed on 29 June, and what the tool genuinely does now.
Why "the skill moved into the prompt" turns out to be too tidy an answer.
The part that survives: client knowledge, and why it is now harder to fake.
Can Gemini really build a full client presentation on its own now?
Yes. As of 29 June 2026, Gemini in Google Slides can create a full, multi-slide presentation from a description, fully native and editable rather than a static export. That's a genuine change in what the mechanical part of deck-building requires from a person.
Does AI-generated presentation building make the skill obsolete?
Not entirely. The debate lands on 'the skill moved into the prompt' being too tidy an answer. Writing a good prompt still requires knowing what the client needs to see and why, which is closer to the original skill than it looks. What's genuinely gone is the mechanical layout and formatting work, not the judgement about what the deck should actually say.
What part of presentation-building survives AI doing the mechanical work?
Client knowledge: understanding what this specific client cares about, what they already know, and what will land with their audience. That's harder to fake now, because the mechanical polish that used to disguise a thin understanding of the client is no longer a reliable signal of skill, AI can produce that polish regardless.
If AI can build the slides, what should someone who used to be hired for deck-building actually offer now?
The part that was never really about formatting: knowing the specific client well enough to know what the deck needs to say, not just how it should look. Anyone can now produce a polished-looking deck in minutes, which means polish stops being proof of skill, and the client knowledge behind the content becomes the thing worth paying for.
