Example brief
A detailed 6-month Gantt chart outlining the launch of a premium organic pet food line. The schedule is broken down into four workstreams: Supply Chain, R&D, Quality Assurance, and Go-To-Market. It highlights critical dependencies in the Quality Assurance stream, specifically a high-risk certification window in April that determines if the product can move to national retail activation in the final months of the half.

Frequently asked questions
How do I render the Grouped workstream 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.
