Let the answer move the deck
Watch votes arrive live, close the poll on your cue, and advance everyone along the chosen branch.
Audience engagement without giving up the room
The interactive layer is powerful for the audience and deliberately calm for the presenter.
Live polls people want to answer
Use branching polls, bar polls, word clouds, open text, and ratings—all joined anonymously from a phone.
Presenter control when it matters
Close voting on your cue, follow the room automatically, or confirm and override the route when the moment demands it.
A stage-ready control room
Keep speaker notes, live tallies, participant count, the next slide, clicker controls, and phone handoff off the projector.
Rewind without derailing phones
Look back at a slide or frozen result while audience devices remain safely at the live point in the session.
Bring the deck you already have
Import PowerPoint files with their layout and look, then add the interactive paths that static slides cannot provide.
One deck, many ways to listen
Ask the room more than one kind of question
Route the talk with a choice, surface the room's language in a word cloud, collect open responses, measure confidence, or simply reveal a live bar chart.

Adapt to what people know
Use comprehension checks to skip familiar material or open the branch that needs reinforcement.
Turn a lecture into a decision
Ask for a prediction, reveal the room's thinking, and follow it into the next part of the lesson.
Show what buyers care about
Offer several workflows and let prospects route the demo toward their highest-priority problem.
Interactive presentation questions, answered
What makes PivotDeck different from live polling tools?
Traditional polling tools add results to a linear deck. In PivotDeck, a poll answer can route the presentation to a different next slide, so audience input changes the structure of the live talk.
Does the presenter lose control when the audience chooses?
No. The presenter always controls when voting closes and when the deck advances. A branch can follow the leading answer automatically or pause for confirmation and an optional override.
Does the audience need an app or account?
No. Audience members scan a QR code or enter a short join code, then participate anonymously in their phone browser.
Can I use an existing PowerPoint presentation?
Yes. PivotDeck imports .pptx and legacy .ppt files, preserving much of the source layout and look so you can add branching and live interactions without starting over.
