Example brief

A six-month plan-vs-actual Gantt for a retail core banking migration, pairing each task's planned baseline bar with its current actual bar so slippage is visible row by row. Integration development carries the largest variance and is highlighted as the driver of an overall three-to-four-week slip against the June go-live.

Frequently asked questions

How do I render the Baseline vs actual gantt 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.
