Example brief

We need a slide that contrasts the current maintenance approach with the 12-month target and shows the expected impact. Today repairs are triggered after a line has stopped, versus interventions scheduled from live sensor trends; spare parts are ordered reactively by expedited freight, versus parts staged against forecast failure windows - the most important row; and technicians chase faults across three sites, versus work routed to the nearest qualified technician. The expected impact: unplanned downtime falls from 6.2% to 2.5% (-60%), expedited freight from $1.4M to $0.5M (-$0.9M), and mean time to repair from 8.5h to 5.0h (-41%). The message is that planned uptime pays back the sensor rollout within the first year.

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 Current vs target with impact metrics 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.
