Do-nothing vs act fork
Margin-defence fork - relabel only vs restructure the mix
Try in PlaygroundExample brief
A strategy crossroads on chargeability: origin 'Current delivery mix' (undifferentiated hours under price pressure). Path A Relabel only [non-recommended] - commodity mass stays exposed, the asset layer is never built, quality-of-chargeability keeps declining. Path B Restructure [recommended] - the mix shifts to assets & IP, assets compound, chargeability quality holds. Thesis: the cost of inertia is the case for acting now - keep the gauge, change what flows through 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 Do-nothing vs act fork 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.
