Slides turns a brief into a real deck — a set of slides rendered in the project's own viewer, each one actual markup the agent wrote, not a picture of a slide. Brief it like you'd brief a designer: the story, the audience, the feel.
What a deck run looks like
Create a project on the Slides template and write the brief — "a 10-slide pitch for a climate-data startup, quiet and editorial" — and the agent builds the whole deck: title, narrative, data slides, close. The result opens in the deck viewer: the current slide large, a filmstrip of thumbnails under or beside it for jumping straight to a slide.
Arrow keys or the thumbnails move between slides; the viewer shows the deck as it will present — same ratio, same type, same motion as the files.
Steering a deck
Decks steer the same way as any project — it's still real files in a folder:
- A slide needs work — pin it in the preview with ⌥-click and comment
- A slide is missing or wrong — follow-up in the composer ("add a slide on the moat before pricing")
- The whole feel is off — a direction follow-up, or a new version to try another take
The gate still applies — readable type, contrast that survives a projector, slide-level structure.
Presenting and exporting
The deck presents from the viewer itself — fullscreen, keyboard-driven — and exports to PDF or PNG per slide for sharing or printing. The files are self-contained: open the exported deck anywhere, no fonts or libraries to bundle.
Tip: Brief the arc, not the slides — "problem, why now, product, traction, ask" lands a tighter deck than ten slide-by-slide instructions. The agent paces the story better than a checklist.
What it's good at
- Pitch decks — the classic raise story
- Talk slides — conference and internal talks
- Project updates — the weekly/monthly deck nobody wants to build
- Sales decks — product walk-throughs
It's the right template when the deliverable is a sequence of slides — for a page that scrolls, that's a document or a website.
