Turn your slide textinto a diagram

Product specs and review decks are full of processes trapped in bullet lists. Khint's PowerPoint companion reads the text you select and drafts an editable diagram: real PowerPoint shapes you drop straight into your deck, not a flat picture.

For product owners and business analysts on macOS. Counts as one of your AI actions, no separate charge.

A numbered list
isn't a diagram

You wrote the flow perfectly the first time. But the stakeholder deck wants boxes and arrows, so you open PowerPoint and spend twenty minutes dragging shapes and retyping labels you already wrote. Khint does that first draft from the words you selected.

Slide text in, a framework out. The .pptx it saves is made of shapes you can still move and recolor.

From selected text to editable shapes

Five steps, one keyboard shortcut, no blank canvas.

  1. Turn on the PowerPoint companion

    On the Integrations page, flip on the PowerPoint card (it shows on macOS). From then on the palette carries a Transform to diagram row: no separate app, no window to manage. It stays hidden until you enable it, so the palette isn't cluttered for people who don't make slides.

  2. Select the text you want as a picture

    You already wrote the flow as words: a numbered process in the spec, a bulleted sequence on a slide, a “then it goes to…” paragraph in the ticket. Highlight it wherever it lives. Khint reads the exact text you selected and nothing else.

  3. Run Transform to diagram

    Open the palette with Cmd+Shift+K and pick Transform to diagram. Khint reads the content and picks the framework that fits it: a process rail, a timeline, a 2×2 matrix, a pyramid, risks and mitigations, a before and after. Ten frameworks, so the layout follows your argument rather than a stock template.

  4. Restyle and regenerate in the preview

    A preview window opens with the diagram rendered. Pick one of the eight palette presets or browse the layout variants — thirty-six of them — and it re-skins instantly, with no extra AI call. If the framework misread the flow, hit Regenerate or force a different one.

  5. Save an editable .pptx and drop it into your deck

    Click Save .pptx and Khint builds native PowerPoint shapes, not a screenshot. Open the file, copy the shapes into your slide, and they're still fully editable: nudge a box, relabel an arrow, restyle to the house template. Just need an image? Export a PNG, or copy it straight to the clipboard.

From the words you already wrote

The framework read out of your own text, the ten it chooses from, what the preview costs, and what the .pptx is made of.

The framework is read out of your words

Khint reads the exact text you selected and picks the shape that fits the argument, instead of asking you to choose a template first and then fill its slots.

Ten frameworks, thirty-six variants

One is a free-form flow. The other nine are the shapes a product owner actually reaches for in a review deck.

Restyle for free, regenerate for one action

Presets and layout variants re-skin the drawing on your machine with no model call. Only a re-draft costs anything.

Shapes you can still move

The file it saves is made of native PowerPoint objects. Open it, copy the shapes into your deck, and nudge a box or relabel an arrow the way you would on any other slide.

Why not just
use SmartArt?

SmartArt makes you pick a template first, then retype each label into its slots: you fit your idea to a shape instead of the other way round. Khint starts from the words you already wrote and proposes the structure, so the diagram matches your argument.

Common questions

Does Khint edit my open PowerPoint slide directly?

No. Khint reads the text you've selected and produces a separate, editable .pptx file that you open and copy the shapes from into your own deck, or you export a PNG instead. Your original slide is never changed automatically, so there's no risk of it rewriting a deck you're mid-way through.

What kinds of diagrams can it make?

Ten frameworks, chosen from the content itself: process flows, timelines, 2x2 matrices, pyramids, waterfalls, balances, comparisons, risk-to-mitigation cards, before-and-after splits, and free-form node-and-arrow flows. Each one ships several layout variants (thirty-six in total) you can flip through in the preview. It covers the shapes a product owner, business analyst or project manager reaches for; it's not built for a hundred-box architecture map or a detailed org chart.

Can I recolor the diagram without spending another action?

Yes. When the preview opens you get a palette picker with eight presets and a filmstrip of layout variants; both re-skin the diagram instantly with no new AI call. Only Regenerate, which re-drafts the layout from your text, counts as another action.

Is it on Windows, and does it cost extra?

The diagram companion is macOS only today. Turn it on from the Integrations page and a Transform to diagram row appears in the palette. It draws from the same monthly credit balance as your other AI actions rather than being a separate charge, and the shapes it builds are native PowerPoint objects, not a flattened image.
