Example brief

The proposal meets all mandatory controls, including EU data residency, SAML SSO, audit logs, and role-based access. However, two items, data-quality checks and bilingual interface, require mitigation, with plans for lineage quality checks in Q3 and full UI support in Q4. Additionally, an on-prem connector is not available but a partner adapter is proposed. All mandatory controls are met, but these non-core requirements need mitigation before contracting.

Frequently asked questions

How do I render the Gap / compliance matrix 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.
