PollSlide
What it is
PollSlide adds live audience interaction to presentations through polls, asynchronous surveys, graded quizzes, and study sets. Its suite includes PollSlide, SurveySlide, QuizSlide, StudySlide, and PresentSlide, available on the web and macOS. Participants join by scanning a QR code or visiting pollslide.com/join and entering a code, without an app or account. Question formats include single choice, multi-select, ratings, word clouds, and free text. Polly can draft question sets from topics or notes, while AI Insights summarizes open-text responses into themes and sentiment. Reports show results by question and participant, with CSV export. PollSlide works alongside Keynote, PowerPoint, and PDFs. The free Mac Companion overlays live results; the PowerPoint add-in is coming soon. It requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later and supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. The free plan includes three presentations, small audiences, and a monthly Polly AI allowance. Paid credits start at $8 a month.
