    Our client is an author and data storytelling expert whose book on presenting data with charts became the foundation for this product.
    The product is a free PowerPoint add-in for Windows and Mac that helps users turn data into clear, presentation-ready visuals. Users can insert quantitative charts and qualitative diagrams, refine slide text with generative AI tools, and check the logic of their story with the author’s Vertical and Horizontal Logic approach. A companion website introduces the plugin, handles free downloads, and brings together support, video tutorials, a blog, and feature requests.

  • What We Did

    We designed a complete product from the ground up - a website and a PowerPoint plugin that work together as one ecosystem. The website introduces the product, explains its value, and gives users free access to the plugin through a newsletter subscription. It also serves as a hub for downloads, support, and new feature suggestions.

    The plugin extends PowerPoint with advanced charting options and AI-powered text tools. Based on the author’s book, it offers both quantitative and qualitative charts, AI features for expanding, correcting, and summarizing text, and unique Vertical and Horizontal Logic tools for cohesive storytelling. It works on both Mac and Windows, making it easy for anyone to create engaging, professional presentations.

Challenges

  • 01

    Presenting a Free Product With Clear Value

    The website needed to explain what the plugin does and why it is worth installing, even though it is free. The challenge was to build trust and lead visitors to the download in just a few steps, while keeping the message simple and focused.

    Making Getting Started Effortless

    Getting the plugin involves several steps - signing up, receiving a license key by email, and installing it on Mac or Windows. The experience needed to guide users through each step clearly, so no one gets lost between the website, their inbox, and PowerPoint.

    Turning a Storytelling Method Into a Tool

    The plugin is built on the author’s approach to presenting data. The design needed to translate these principles into simple features that feel native to PowerPoint, giving quick access to a large library of charts and AI tools without overwhelming users.

Visual Library & AI Storytelling

Beyond numbers, a structured library of diagrams helps users visualize concepts, processes, and strategies without drawing shapes from scratch. Built-in AI tools refine slide text in a single click, while logic features based on the author’s method help check that the whole deck tells one clear and consistent story.

Conclusion

The project brought together a website and a PowerPoint plugin into one cohesive product built around a proven approach to data storytelling. The design focused on making the product easy to discover, simple to get, and intuitive to use every day - from the first visit to a finished presentation.

A clear, value-focused home page, a guided path to free access, self-service support, and a responsive website work alongside a plugin that brings smart charts, a rich diagram library, and AI-powered storytelling tools directly into PowerPoint. The result is a connected experience that helps individuals and teams turn raw data into clear, compelling presentations with minimal effort.
