# Slide Decks

> Turn a topic or your own material into a polished, presentation-ready deck — delivered as both PDF and PPTX — with the /slide command.

## Overview

The `/slide` command turns a request into a polished, presentation-ready slide deck. You describe the topic — or point to material you've already shared — pick a visual style, and the super agent researches, writes, and renders a finished deck for you. Every deck ships as two files: a **PDF** for preview and sharing, and an editable **PPTX** you can drop into PowerPoint or Google Slides.

Unlike a plain chat answer, a `/slide` turn always produces a deck. Findings land on slides, never in a wall of chat text.

<Note>
  Building a deck uses credits like any other session — research and generated images add to the cost.
</Note>

## Starting a deck

Type `/slide` (or `/slides`) in the chat input, followed by what you want the deck to cover:

```
/slide our Q3 product strategy for the leadership team
```

| Command           | What it does                                                        |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `/slide <topic>`  | Describe a topic, or paste the material you want turned into slides |
| `/slides <topic>` | Same as `/slide` — either spelling works                            |
| `/slide`          | With no topic, the super agent helps you shape one                  |

You can also pick **Create slide deck** from the `+` menu in the composer.

## Choosing a style

Before it builds anything, the super agent asks a single round of questions to pin down the look and any detail it genuinely needs — audience, angle, or must-cover points. You choose one of three visual templates, shown as preview cards:

| Template                | Look                          | Best for                                         |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Visual Brief**        | Light, image-forward          | Marketing, concepts, general awareness           |
| **Executive Narrative** | Dark, editorial               | Business updates, pitches, strategy, board decks |
| **Data Report**         | Light, dense, analytics-first | Metrics readouts, QBRs, data-heavy briefs        |

<Tip>
  The super agent sizes the deck to your content — typically 5–10 slides — unless you name a specific slide count. Ask for "a 6-slide deck" and it uses exactly that many; otherwise it uses as many as the material genuinely needs.
</Tip>

## How a deck comes together

<Steps>
  <Step title="Describe the topic">
    Send a `/slide` command with the subject, or point to files and earlier work in the thread.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a style">
    Choose one of the three templates and answer any short follow-up. This is the only question round — the deck builds straight after.
  </Step>

  <Step title="The super agent researches and writes">
    For topics that need current facts — markets, companies, prices, statistics — the super agent searches the web first and sources the numbers before writing a single slide. If you already supplied the substance, it writes directly from that.
  </Step>

  <Step title="The deck renders">
    The slides are rendered into a finished PDF and PPTX and delivered in the chat. Rendering takes a few seconds up to a couple of minutes for a large deck.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What you get

Two files land in the chat, both downloadable:

| File     | Role                                                                                    |
| -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **PDF**  | Primary export — opens in the inline preview and is best for sharing and review         |
| **PPTX** | Editable PowerPoint — image-backed slides you can present or fold into an existing deck |

## What a slide can hold

You don't author slides by hand — the super agent picks the right layout for each point. A deck can mix:

* **Title and section dividers** to structure the story
* **Bullet points** for key takeaways
* **Two-column slides** that pair points with a stat callout, a highlighted note, or an image
* **Full-bleed image** slides for a hero or visual break
* **Data tables** for metrics by segment, pricing, or feature matrices
* **Pull quotes** for testimonials and standout lines
* **Side-by-side comparisons** for before/after or option A vs. B

If you want a specific structure — "put the pricing in a table," "open with a big cover image," "add a comparison slide" — just say so and the super agent works it into the deck.

## Adding your own images

Decks can include your imagery. Upload images to the chat first (or ask the super agent to generate them), then ask for them on specific slides. Supported formats are PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF, up to 10 images per deck.

If a generated image isn't ready in time, the super agent builds the deck without it rather than blocking — and offers to add it in a follow-up.

## Good to know

* **Every `/slide` turn produces a deck**, not a chat answer — even when your message reads like a plain question, the answer comes back as slides.
* **Facts are sourced, not invented.** For time-sensitive topics the super agent researches first; metric callouts come from real data.
* **Iterate in follow-ups.** After the deck lands, ask for changes — "make slide 3 a table," "shorten the intro," "swap the cover image" — and the super agent re-renders.
* **Turn it into a reusable agent.** If you build the same kind of deck regularly, save the session as an [Agent](/features/agents) so you can re-run it with new inputs, or put it on a [schedule](/features/scheduled-runs).
