Example brief
I need a slide that compares Central, Federated, Hub & spoke, and Decentralized operating models against eight criteria: Time to value, Governance control, Asset reuse, Business ownership, Security oversight, Talent scalability, Cost transparency, and Innovation speed, with scores ranging from 1 to 4, highlighting that Hub & spoke model balances speed with control and noting that fully Decentralized model should be avoided for regulated workloads.

Frequently asked questions
How do I render the Graded-fit scorecard 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.
