Everything that ships today

Everything on this page is in the current release.

Write a deck as text

Type the argument. Don't paint the slides.

No boxes to draw, drag, align or resize: you write one line per idea and the design system sets the slide.
Change a slide's layout by editing its layout line and marking its columns; the compiler re-fits it.
Plain Markdown: diffable, portable, readable by any editor or AI. The app picks up outside edits live.
An editor built for writing: context-aware autocomplete, auto-aligned tables, paste an Excel range as a finished table, comments.
Everything by keyboard: Ctrl+K command palette, and every control is reachable by typing.
Mistyped fields are refused where they are written, naming the nearest valid field. Every error points to its line.
Greek handled natively: uppercase set correctly, no stray accents.

Consulting, banking and teaching exhibits, measured to fit.

Charts: column, bar, line, area, stacked, waterfall (both ways), slopegraph, dumbbell, Mekko, tornado, heatmap, spider, funnel, pyramid, distribution, boxplot, scatter with trend line. CAGR and difference arrows computed from the data.
Frameworks and diagrams: 2×2 and 3×3 matrices, market maps, hub, Venn, causal loop, flow, decision and issue trees, org chart, strategy house.
Planning: timeline, Gantt, swimlane, stage-gate, coverage scorecard, checklist.
People and media: team grid, one-person CV, credentials, logo walls, image, gallery, video, maps.
Tables: accent headers, bands, totals, merges, Harvey balls, units in the header.
Packs: banking (trading comps, precedent transactions, key terms, premiums paid, sources and uses, EV build, valuation methods) and frameworks (SWOT, BCG, five forces, 7S, PESTLE), pre-filled.

The conventions of a consulting deck, built in.

Cover with photo and company and client logos, dividers, column splits, thirds, an emphasis column, back cover.
Action titles with a takeaway line, section kickers, running head, source line, numbered footnotes.
An agenda built from your dividers; slide-to-slide links that print the page number.
Speaker notes written inline, shown in presenter view.

Nothing draws outside its box.

Each slide solves its own density: spacing first, then margin, then one type step, then a warning. Never more than two type sizes.
When content still doesn't fit, it is cut cleanly at a word or a row, never overprinted.
One feedback panel with tabs for errors, warnings, suggestions, notes and craft advice.
Craft Check: numerals in titles, units, sources and dates, reported as advice.
Live preview in about 24 ms per slide; a 30-slide deck compiles in under 150 ms.

Re-skin freely; the layout rules stay locked.

Four house styles: Consulting, Banking, Learning and Keynote (dark or light).
Colour schemes, font pairings and type sizes per role. Any colour you pick gets readable contrast automatically.
Import your firm's template: colours, fonts and the logo you point at come across from a .potx, .pptx or .thmx. Each colour is checked for legibility and a close passing shade offered. Layouts stay the compiler's.
Measure an installed font: a brand typeface on your machine is measured so every slide fits it exactly.
Customize Theme saves your company's fonts and colours to the Library for every deck.

One figure, one value, everywhere.

Named values: define a number once with {{name}} and print it anywhere.
Figures ledger: checks that one number says the same thing on every slide.
Linked data: tables and charts read CSV, TSV or Excel. Save the sheet and the slide redraws.
Banking conventions: 8.1x, bps, pp, NM, negatives in brackets, short big numbers.

Deliver the message straight from the app.

A presentation window on the second screen that follows your edits live.
Presenter view with this slide's and the next slide's notes.
Send a PDF, per-slide PNGs, or one self-contained HTML file that opens in any browser.
PowerPoint export when someone needs the file: text, tables, equations, callouts and charts stay editable, and charts carry their data.
Finalise: the craft check and the figures ledger run, the DRAFT stamp comes off, and dated, versioned files land beside a saved version of the deck.
Headless command line for scheduled reports: decklay pdf, share, render, pptx, finalise, figures, craft.

Optional. Markdown is the language of AI, so any AI can write a deck.

Any AI or text editor can draft or rework a deck file; the app picks up the change live.
Research and draft: pick the style and the kind of deck, answer its questions, approve the outline, watch the research.
Start from your own material: pasted text, Markdown, Word or PDF.
Shape the outline: every slide's title and its "so what" edited as one storyline before drafting.
Chat that knows the slide you're on and proposes slide-sized edits you approve.
The Committee: reviewers read the deck as a CEO, CFO, CHRO, CMO, COO or head of strategy, plus any office you add.
Your firm's way of writing: the AI's instructions, storylines and reviewer personas are plain-text files you can edit.
Guardrails on every call, switches for web search and for sending deck text, an opt-in AI log kept beside the deck.
A Claude skill to write decks from any Claude session.
The built-in co-author runs on your own Claude subscription or Anthropic API key.

Decks are files, so history is too.

Named milestones and snapshots as plain files; compare two versions slide by slide, even after reordering.
New decks and AI drafts land in a folder you choose; a shared drive works.
Onboarding tour, the manual as a 111-slide deck, a searchable F1 reference and a cheatsheet.

Local-first, by design.

No cloud and no telemetry by default. Deck text leaves only for AI, and only to your own provider.
Deterministic engine: the same input produces byte-identical output.

14-day full trial. Everything included, no card needed.
