Example brief

Create a weighted decision matrix to help us choose a new production management system for our craft brewery. Compare three external vendors—FermentLogic, VatControl, and BrewMaster Pro—against our current manual processes. Use criteria like batch consistency, inventory tracking, and POS integration, applying specific weights to each based on our expansion goals. Highlight the winning vendor and explain why the manual approach is no longer viable for our scale.

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 Weighted decision 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.
