Prezi, an interactive, AI-powered presentation creator
Description: Prezi is a tool for creating interactive presentations. Instead of using traditional slides, Prezi is based on a zooming interface to navigate through content on a virtual canvas. Users can add text, images, videos, and other multimedia elements to their presentations. Prezi has also developed an AI-powered functionality to create slides by writing a prompt. It offers both free and paid versions. Signing up for an account is required for use. Prezi was founded in 2009 by Adam Somlai-Fischer, Peter Halacsy, and Peter Arvai.
Evaluation: Prezi is a valuable tool for producing interactive and visual presentations. Its zooming user interface differentiates it from other similar tools. The free version allows storing a few presentations that can be accessed on any device, yet not downloaded. A downside of Prezi’s free version is that presentations can be found and accessed by any user.
Cost: Free public account + paid premium plans.
Respect for privacy 
Privacy evaluations indicate how a tool handles personal data collection, storage, and sharing, including GDPR compliance and security measures, among others. The ICT-REV team provides them for informational purposes, reflecting our best understanding at the time of review, but assumes no legal responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of these evaluations and encourages users to conduct their own assessments: Medium. Prezi collects information only to fulfil its commitments and obligations to users. It also collects cookies and aggregated data to improve user experience. Prezi does not sell or share personal information for commercial purposes. It implements security measures such as encryption and others to safeguard data. Unfortunately, in its free version, Prezi does not allow setting presentations as private and thus can be accessed by anyone. Prezi acknowledges the rights to access, correct, and delete user data and limit its processing. It states compliance with the GDPR. See more here.
