Dear AhaSlides abasebenzisi,
As 2024 comes to a close, it's time to reflect on our remarkable numbers and highlight the features we have launched this year.
Great things begin in small moments. In 2024, we watched as thousands of educators brightened their classrooms, managers energised their meetings, and event organisers lit up their venues - all by simply letting everyone join the conversation instead of just listening.
We're truly amazed by how our community has grown and engaged in 2024:
- Over 3.2M total users, with nearly 744,000 new users joining this year
- Kufinyelelwe 13.6M audience members worldwide
- Ngaphezu kwe 314,000 live events hosted
- Most popular slide type: Khetha Impendulo futhi ngaphezulu 35,5M kusebenzisa
The numbers tell part of the story - millions of votes cast, questions asked, and ideas shared. But the real measure of progress lies in the moments when a student feels heard, when a team member's voice shapes a decision, or when an audience member's perspective shifts from passive listener to active participant.
This look back at 2024 isn't just a highlight reel of AhaSlides features. It's your story - the connections you built, the laughs you shared during interactive quizzes, and the walls you broke down between speakers and audiences.
You've inspired us to keep making AhaSlides kangcono futhi kangcono.
Every update was created with YOU in mind, dedicated users, no matter who you are, whether you've been presenting for years or learning something new each day. Let's reflect on how AhaSlides improved in 2024!

2024 Feature Highlights: See What Changed
New gamification elements
Your audience's engagement matters deeply to us. We've introduced categorised slide options, to help you find the perfect interactive elements for your sessions. Our new AI-powered grouping feature for open-ended responses and word clouds ensures your audience stays connected and focused during live sessions. More activities, still stable.
Enhanced analytics dashboard
We believe in the power of informed decisions. That's why we've developed a new analytics dashboard that gives you clear insights into how your presentations resonate with your audience. You can now track engagement levels, understand participant interactions, and even visualize feedback in real-time – valuable information that helps you refine and improve your future sessions.
Amathuluzi wokubambisana weqembu
Great presentations often come from collaborative effort, we understand. Now, multiple team members can work on the same presentation at the same time, wherever they are. Whether you’re in the same room or halfway across the world, you can brainstorm, edit, and finalize your slides together - seamlessly, making distance no barrier to creating impactful presentations.
Ukuhlanganiswa okungenamthungo
We know that smooth operation is key. That’s why we’ve made integration easier than ever. Check out our new Integration Center on the left menu, where you can connect AhaSlides with Google Drive, Google Slides, PowerPoint, and Zoom. We've kept the process simple – just a few clicks to connect the tools you use every day.
Smart assistance with AI
This year, we're excited to introduce the AI Presentation Assistant, which automatically generates poll, kwakha, and engaging activities from simple text prompts. This innovation addresses the growing demand for efficient content creation in both professional and educational settings. As a major milestone in our mission to streamline content creation, this technology allows users to create complete interactive presentations in minutes, saving them up to two hours every day.
Supporting our global community
And finally, we’ve made it easier for our global community with multi-language support, local pricing, and even bulk purchase options. Whether you’re hosting a session in Europe, Asia, or the Americas, AhaSlides is ready to help you spread the love globally.

'It was fantastic to interact with and meet so many young colleagues from SIGOT Young at the SIGOT 2024 Masterclass! The interactive clinical cases I had the pleasure of presenting in the Psychogeriatrics session allowed for a constructive and innovative discussion on topics of great geriatric interest', said the Italian presenter.
'Congratulations to Slwoo and Seo-eun, who shared first place in a game where they read English books and answered questions in English! It wasn't hard because we all read books and answered questions together, right? Who will win first place next time? Everyone, give it a try! Fun English!', she shared on Threads.
