Example brief

A performance summary for a transit authority board meeting. The slide uses a 2x3 grid to compare six key performance indicators—including fare revenue, on-time performance, and safety incidents—against planned targets and previous quarters. It highlights that while financial and ridership figures are positive, operational health and safety metrics are trending negatively, requiring a strategic shift in focus.

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 Delta scoreboard 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.
