Example brief

Create a swimlane diagram for a global freight carrier showing the shipment lifecycle from Intake to Reconciliation. The horizontal phases should be Intake, Transit, Delivery, and Reconciliation. The vertical lanes should represent Regional Ops, Central Dispatch, and Compliance. Each cell should contain specific logistics activities like manifest verification, route optimization, and customs clearance, showing how different departments interact at each stage of the shipping process.

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 Domain lifecycle columns 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.
