Example brief

Create a flywheel titled 'The adoption flywheel compounds growth' with a central outcome 'Compounding growth' and four reinforcing drivers, each with a one-line mechanism and a proof metric: More users (wider reach pulls in new teams, +18% MoM), More data (usage signals sharpen the product, 12M events/wk), Better product (relevance lifts activation, +9 pts NPS), Lower cost (scale economics cut unit cost, -22% CAC) - emphasise Lower cost as the strongest driver.

Render it

Structured intent — create_slide payload

Copy-paste-ready. Renders deterministically (verbatim, no LLM). Add a theme_id for any of the built-in themes — the layout stays identical.

Frequently asked questions

How do I render the Flywheel cycle template?

Send a POST to /v1/render/auto with a brief, or call create_slide via MCP with the structured intent shown below. The response includes an editable .pptx, a PDF, and a PNG. $0.05 per slide.

Does an AI write the slide?

No. SlideForge renders deterministically from a structured intent — no LLM draws the slide, so text is never mangled or fabricated. The optional brief path uses a router to pick the pattern, then renders deterministically.

Can I customize the colors and fonts?

Yes. Pass a theme_id to apply a built-in or custom brand theme; the layout stays the same.
