Artifacts


In one line: the deck is the artifact you *show* on slides. Use it when you want to flip through page by page — pitching to investors, presenting in a meeting. Think PowerPoint, except the AI builds the slides for you.

Slide

One page of the deck. Typically one topic per slide — cover, problem, solution, and so on.

16:9

The width-to-height ratio of each slide. Most modern screens and projectors are this widescreen shape, so it is the default.

Thumbnail strip

A little row of every slide shrunk down. It lets you see the whole flow at a glance and jump to any slide.

The deck (⌘4) is a pitch deck of 16:9 slides. A live slide renderer draws the current slide exactly as it will appear, and a thumbnail strip lets you see the whole flow at a glance and jump between slides.

You do not have to build slides one by one. Just ask the chat.

Exit presentation mode

Esc

Controls in presentation mode.

Presentation mode just blows up the current view full-screen — it changes nothing. Press Esc when you finish and you land safely back in the editor.

Export & import

Export the deck to .pptx (PowerPoint) or PDF. If you already have slides, import a .pptx to seed the deck.

The deck shares context with the proposal. With coherence mode on, editing the proposal keeps the deck consistent too. Save with ⌘S.

How many slides can I make?

There is no fixed limit. You can even ask for a specific count, like "condense this to 10 slides".

How do I advance slides while presenting?

In presentation mode: → or Space for next, ← for previous, Esc to exit.
