Our verdict: Microsoft Designer
Ideal for SMBs on Microsoft 365 who want to quickly create marketing visuals without third-party tools. Not the most powerful or creative, Adobe or Canva users will remain frustrated by personalization limits. Its real advantage: no additional subscription if you're already on Microsoft 365.
Our verdict: NotebookLM
The most useful tool for lawyers, consultants, HR professionals, and healthcare professionals who must synthesize large volumes of documents. Not for you if you're looking for a slide creation tool, NotebookLM generates summaries and study guides, not visual presentations.
