Core Principles

1. Choose AI model

Claude Opus 5 - the default model, best for design.
Gemini 3.5 Flash - also amazing in design time.
GPT-5.5 - the fastest, best for quick edits.
o4-mini-deep-research - most advanced reasoning, the best for research.

2. Specify the objective

Describe what kind of presentation should be generated.
Define what the success looks like.

3. Specify design system, components, and length

You can optionally provide a screenshot of a desired presentation style.
You can describe colors, fonts, and style in a natural language.
Define if presentation should contain images and background videos.
Define length of the presentation.
Add animations for a premium look.

4. Supply context

Include optional materials from which the presentation should be generated.
Include audience, business goal, brand voice, and source facts so the model knows exactly who and what it is writing for. Define a role, e.g. “act like a senior product strategist” or “creative director,” to shape tone and depth.
Better context improves the outcomes.

5. Specify data source

You can enable web research to generate the presentation based on a realtime data.
Example use cases: customer research, market opportunities, or strategic industry reports.
Use Deep Research models for the best results.

6. Iterate with targeted feedback

Refine to converge on high-quality, repeatable results. Let us know in case of any troubles.
