Example brief

Create a closing slide focused on next steps: headline 'What happens after today', a line about three moves over four weeks, and the steps — approve the pilot scope and budget (Steering Committee, this week, the immediate decision), confirm data access and security review (IT & Risk, week 2), stand up the joint delivery team (Delivery Lead, week 2). Sarah Keller is the contact.

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 Closing next steps 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.
