Example brief
We need to compare our product to Collibra and Atlan in the banking sector, focusing on areas like time to value, Microsoft ecosystem fit, policy automation, lineage depth, stewardship workflow, AI governance controls, cost transparency, and catalog UX. Our strengths include governance automation and Azure-native deployment. Specific points of comparison include time to value where we win against Collibra but are at risk against Atlan, Microsoft ecosystem fit where we win against both, and policy automation where we win against Collibra but are at parity with Atlan. We also have advantages in AI governance controls and cost transparency, but are at risk in lineage depth. Our goal is to lead with our strengths and avoid debates over catalog features.

Frequently asked questions
How do I render the Competitive battlecard 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.
