a PowerPoint add-in with 70+ features for consultants

consultants spend an absurd amount of time fighting PowerPoint. formatting slides, enforcing brand guidelines, cleaning up decks before client delivery, anonymizing content for proposals. every deck was a battle against PowerPoint's defaults, and every consultant was solving the same problems independently.
the firm needed a tool that standardized these tasks, enforced brand consistency, and eliminated the repetitive manual work that was eating hours every week.
designed and built a dedicated PowerPoint ribbon tab with 70+ organized actions. intuitive grouping by category: brand, text, alignment, shapes, color, cleanup, and more.
one-click brand application. audit tools that flag off-brand elements. automated theme, color, and font enforcement across entire decks.
paste to selected slides, delete matching objects across decks, bulk text operations. the kind of things PowerPoint should do natively but doesn't.
one-click full cleanup: double spaces, empty shapes, comments, unused layouts, animations, transitions, slide numbers, footers. all gone.
smart anonymization that infers client names from file paths and replaces them. lorem ipsum replacement. dollar figure redaction. built for proposal prep.
insert logos with precise positioning (4 variants). slide classification labels. dynamic layout menu. reusable template enforcement.
the Metis Strategy PowerPoint Add-In became a core part of the firm's production workflow. consultants stopped wasting time on formatting and started using a tool that handled it for them. brand consistency improved across the board, deck turnaround times dropped, and the repetitive tasks that used to eat hours every week were reduced to single clicks.
the add-in also proved that media and production skills translate directly into internal tooling. the same attention to workflow, automation, and user experience that goes into podcast production applies to building tools that make people's work better.
if you've got a project that needs someone to own the build end to end, say hi.
