Example brief

A construction-to-commissioning Gantt for a 150 MW solar farm that isolates the critical path - interconnection approval, civil works, install, and commissioning - as one dominant chain, with permitting and procurement shown as supporting context. The message is that grid interconnection approval gates every downstream task and protects the August energization date.

Frequently asked questions

How do I render the Critical path 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.
