Overview

Give it an article or notes and it suggests one of 17 visual styles and a slide count, then asks you to confirm. It writes an outline and a prompt for each slide, draws every slide as an image, and merges them into a PPTX file and a PDF. The slides are pictures made for reading and sharing, so their text is not editable afterwards. It suits people who need a shareable deck from writing they already have.

You can stop after the outline or the prompts, check them, and only then spend image credits on the slides.

Try these first

Start with the first one: it is a small task you can check easily.

  1. Make an outline only for a slide deck from this article. Don't draw anything yet: [paste article]First try · outline only

  2. Use the sketch-notes style for 8 slides aimed at beginners, then draw the slides.uses image credits

  3. Regenerate slide 3 with a shorter title.uses image credits

  4. Which of the 17 styles would suit a quarterly business update?

Good to know

Turn an existing article into a deck to share. The skill proposes a style and slide count, writes an outline and per-slide prompts, draws the slides and merges them into PPTX and PDF.

Limits

  • Each slide is one generated image, so its text cannot be edited like a normal slide. Wrong or garbled text means regenerating that slide from a corrected prompt.
  • Merging into PPTX and PDF runs a bundled script with Bun (through bun or npx), and the image backend is a separate tool or API.
