What ChatGPT can do in Google Slides

4 operations. Read looks things up and changes nothing. Write changes Google Slides and runs only when that tool is enabled.

Read3 operations

Looks things up. Changes nothing.

Read

  • read_presentationRead a deck’s slides, text and layout, with comments if you ask.
  • read_slide_pageRead one slide.
  • read_slide_page_thumbnailGet a picture of one slide.

Write1 operation

Changes Google Slides. Runs only when enabled.

Edit

  • update_presentationAdd, change, move and delete slides, text, shapes, images, tables and charts.

You choose what ChatGPT can use

When you approve ChatGPT, pick Full access, Read only, or Custom. Read only allows the Read operations and nothing else. Custom picks apps and tools one by one.

Limits in Google Slides

  • · The connected Google account decides which presentations can be read and changed.
  • · The edit tool can delete slides and is marked destructive. Keep it off unless you need it.
  • · Enabled writes run immediately. Turn a tool off to block calls.
  • · Disconnecting stops future access. It does not undo a change; use the deck’s version history.

Questions people ask first

How do I connect Google Slides?

Open Google Slides in ApexGenius Connections, choose Connect, and sign in with the Google account that can open your presentations.

Which decks can my AI read?

Any presentation the connected Google account can open. Give your AI the link, or let it find the deck with Google Drive.

Can my AI change a deck?

Yes, with the edit tool, which is marked destructive because it can delete slides. Enabled writes run immediately. Turn a tool off to block calls.

Can my AI create a new deck?

Not with the Slides tools. Connect Google Drive, which can create a new presentation.

Will this list of tools change?

Google publishes the Slides MCP tools, and ApexGenius reads Google’s live list on every search. This page shows the list as of its review date.
