NextDocs Reviews

NextDoc does great designs and is good at responding to directions. I have only used it to develop 2 long documents, which consumed all my credits. The issue is that it can undo past edits when doing new ones. And simple things like updating page numbers can take over 20 minutes (it will do it in batches of 4 or 5 pages). Plus, when it makes a mistake (and it will admit it missed content etc), but will still charge you credits for its mistakes.
It took me almost 4 days full time for these 2 documents. I would have appreciated it being quicker. The end product is great though. So you need a lot of patience, and an acceptance your credits will vanish if your documents are longer than 30 pages. I havent tried any other type of document, as this is what I needed to get done as a priority for a client. I wont be refunding, but I also will be investigating my Canva subscription more closely to see if it can do the same thing, and if it is more intuitive about the basics like margins and page numbers.

I wasn't able to fully test this out as my presentation generation stalled out and stopped working. Reached out to support and got an initial response, but then never got replies to my response to that, nor a follow up email I sent after that. I'm ok with a few shortcomings in an app, but lack of support is a dealbreaker for me.

I tried out NextDocs. It is not bad per se, not one bit.

There is so much to like about it, but making a simple presentation PDF cost around 1600 credits out of my 4000 monthly allotment on the Tier 3 plan.

So, despite the quality outputs and sleek interface, it is no good for scale or enterprise.

I can do this using other solutions for 1% of the credit consumption cost, so I had to bail out on NextDocs. Tons of potential here though but it just isn't economically efficient enough.

Well, I have used this tool. It's good, but not that much because I think the product is still new. With the passage of time, if they add new features, it might become a cross-competitor of Gamma. I am recently using it, but still, I will keep it because there is a lot of potential, and they can do wonders

The site is intuitive and easy to navigate, but need to improve its onboarding process during the first slide creation (may need to prompt user on adding asset or brand). When creating a slide, it would be good if users are allowed to upload a file (image/text outline/existing slide) as a start instead of just creating a 'blank' presentation.

Secondly, the output is above average compared to other slide generators (excluding Gamma). However, I rate Nextdocs chat/editor as better than Gamma, Beautiful AI and other generators. It was able to analyse my 300+ pages document with ease, refined the outline twice and came up with a very satisfying output of 30 slides using top tier AI models, and this consumed 500+ credits which to me is acceptable. There are also a variety of output options and haven't encountered any bugs so far.

If possible Nextdocs can auto-embed presenter notes when exporting to pptx (similar to 'add notes' in MS PowerPoint) and add animation timeline (similar to Canva). Please allow integration with MS Onedrive.

P/S: Please give us free credits for video generations, so that we can test use-cases and may be tempted to upgrade to T3.

Overall, a great product.
