What is an AI slide deck?
Aslide deck in CREAO starts as a sentence. You describe the topic, or point at material you already shared in the thread, pick a visual style, and the super agent researches, writes, and renders a finished, presentation-ready deck.
Unlike a plain chat answer, a slide turn always produces a deck. Findings land on slides, never in a wall of chat text, and every deck ships as both a PDF and an editable PPTX.
Starting a deck
Type the slide command in the chat input, followed by what you want the deck to cover.
# in the chat composer
/slide our Q3 product strategy for the leadership team
/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 agent helps you shape one.
You can also pick Create slide deck from the plus menu in the composer.
Choosing a style
Before it builds anything, the 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.
Visual Brief
Light and image-forward. Best for marketing, concepts, and general awareness decks.
Executive Narrative
Dark and editorial. Best for business updates, pitches, strategy, and board decks.
Data Report
Light, dense, and analytics-first. Best for metrics readouts, QBRs, and data-heavy briefs.
The agent sizes the deck to your content, typically 5 to 10 slides, unless you name a specific slide count. Ask for a 6-slide deck and it uses exactly that many.
How a deck comes together
I
Describe the topic
Send a /slide command with the subject, or point to files and earlier work already in the thread.
II
Pick a style
Choose one of the three templates and answer any short follow-up. This is the only question round.
III
The agent researches and writes
For topics that need current facts the agent searches the web and sources the numbers before writing a slide.
IV
The deck renders
Slides render into a finished PDF and PPTX and land in the chat, in seconds for most decks.
What you get
Two files land in the chat, both downloadable.
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 do not author slides by hand. The agent picks the right layout for each point, and a single deck can mix all of these.
Title and section dividers
Structure the story and break it into chapters.
Bullet points
Carry the key takeaways for each section.
Two-column slides
Pair points with a stat callout, a highlighted note, or an image.
Full-bleed image
Hero slides and visual breaks between sections.
Data tables
Metrics by segment, pricing, and feature matrices.
Pull quotes
Testimonials and standout lines.
Side-by-side comparisons
Before and after, or option A against option B.
If you want a specific structure, say so. Put the pricing in a table, open with a big cover image, add a comparison slide, and the agent works it into the deck.
Adding your own images
Decks can include your imagery. Upload images to the chat first, or ask the agent to generate them, then ask for them on specific slides. PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF are supported, up to 10 images per deck. If a generated image is not ready in time, the agent builds the deck without it rather than blocking, and offers to add it in a follow-up.
Turning a deck into an agent
If you build the same kind of deck regularly, a weekly metrics readout or a monthly board update, save the session as an agent so you can re-run it with new inputs. Put that agent on a schedule and the deck builds and lands on its own, on the cadence you choose.
Best practices
Say who it is for. Naming the audience, for example the board or a prospect, changes the angle and the level of detail more than any other instruction.
Bring your own substance when you have it. Paste the numbers or attach the file and the agent writes from your material instead of researching from scratch.
Iterate in follow-ups. Make slide 3 a table, shorten the intro, swap the cover image. The deck re-renders rather than starting over.
Finish in PowerPoint if you need to. The PPTX is editable, so the last mile of brand polish stays in your hands.
Frequently asked questions
How do I create a slide deck in CREAO?+
Type /slide (or /slides) in the chat input followed by what the deck should cover, for example /slide our Q3 product strategy for the leadership team. You can also pick Create slide deck from the + menu in the composer.
What file formats does CREAO export?+
Every deck ships as two files: a PDF for preview and sharing, and an editable PPTX you can open in PowerPoint or Google Slides and fold into an existing deck.
Which visual templates are available?+
Three: Visual Brief (light, image-forward, best for marketing and concepts), Executive Narrative (dark, editorial, best for pitches and board decks), and Data Report (light, dense, best for metrics readouts and QBRs).
How many slides does CREAO generate?+
The agent sizes the deck to your content, typically 5 to 10 slides. If you name a slide count, for example a 6-slide deck, it uses exactly that many.
Does CREAO research the topic before building the deck?+
Yes. For topics that need current facts such as markets, companies, prices, or statistics, the agent searches the web and sources the numbers first. If you supplied the substance yourself, it writes directly from that.
Can I use my own images in a deck?+
Yes. Upload images to the chat first, or ask the agent to generate them, then ask for them on specific slides. PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF are supported, up to 10 images per deck.
Can I edit the deck after it is generated?+
Yes, in two ways. Ask for changes in a follow-up and the agent re-renders, or edit the PPTX directly in PowerPoint or Google Slides.
Can I generate the same deck every week?+
Yes. Save the session as an agent so you can re-run it with new inputs, and put it on a schedule to have the deck delivered automatically.
