Example brief
The finance modernization roadmap spans from Q3 2026 to Q4 2027, and is divided into four phases: Mobilize, Data foundation, Process redesign, and AI-enabled scale. The phases have specific goals, such as confirming scope and baseline, achieving trusted finance data, simplifying close, and automating and expanding. The deliverables for each phase include items like governance set up, harmonized chart of accounts, journal workflow, and anomaly detection. The status of the phases varies, with Mobilize done, Data foundation on track, and Process redesign and AI-enabled scale not started. A caution is noted that AI automation will stall without master-data ownership.

Frequently asked questions
How do I render the Phased roadmap 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.
