Example brief
Build an exception board from our operations metrics that makes the problems stand out: Line 3 OEE at 61% against an 80% target and scrap rate at 4.8% against under 2% are off track, supplier on-time at 88% against 95% is a watch, while recordable incidents at 0, order fill rate at 98.6%, inventory turns at 7.1 and energy per unit down 9% are under control and should recede.

Frequently asked questions
How do I render the Exception KPI board 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.
