Example brief
Create a slide showing our Q2 traction with ARR at $18.4M, up 62% year-over-year, net revenue retention at 121%, gross margin at 78%, 46 enterprise customers, average contract value at $92k, and sales cycle at 74 days, with a note on the caution of ACV mix moving down as mid-market accelerates and a takeaway that traction is real but needs to prove sales efficiency next.
Render it
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 Snapshot 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.
