Example brief
Create a stage-output flow titled 'Each phase of the assessment closes with a decision-ready deliverable' with stages Discovery (interview stakeholders; output current-state map), Analysis (benchmark and size gaps; output gap & benchmark pack), Design (target operating model and roadmap; output target blueprint, emphasized), Pilot (contained pilot validating the business case; output validated case).
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 Stage-output flow 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.
