Make your first
presentation.

The whole presentation

Turn research into a full talk.

Start in ChatGPT or the AI app you use for research. You choose the audience and style. The agent organises the findings into slides.

1. Gather findings in your research app.

   Ask your research assistant, “How do street trees cool a neighbourhood? Find sources I can check.” Open the sources and keep the findings you want to present.

   Trees shade people and pavement by intercepting sunlight. Water evaporating from leaves uses heat and can cool the surrounding air. Which part of a street gets shade depends on the size and position of the canopy and the time of day.

2. Write the visual brief in DeckCoderAI.

   In DeckCoderAI, choose Create presentation and give your talk a name. Connect your AI client. In Agent Booth, choose Build a deck. Add the audience, length and visual direction to the request.

   Your deck brief

   Edit the audience or replace the example style with your own.

   Use this research to create a six-slide DeckCoderAI presentation for neighbours at a community meeting. Use large photographs, warm paper and deep green headings, with one idea per slide. Start on our street, take us to a bus stop, and finish by asking which stop we should shade first. Put the sources in my speaker notes.

   If you use the same colours, typography or image style across talks, open Style guide in Agent Booth to save your design preferences.

3. Send the request in your AI app.

   Choose Copy for agent in Agent Booth and paste the prepared request into your connected AI client. If that client already holds your research, continue in the same conversation. If you researched elsewhere, include your findings and source links with the request.

   

   Ask the agent to save the presentation and check its slides.

4. Read the finished talk in DeckCoderAI.

   Open Slides. In this example, the first two slides introduce the street and the heat it holds. Slide three asks people where they would wait. The talk ends with a decision the neighbours can make together.

   1. How trees cool cities
   2. Pavement holds heat
   3. Where would you wait?
   4. Leaves release water
   5. Put shade where people wait
   6. Which stop would you shade first?

   For the meeting, we asked for one revision. Follow slide three from photograph to diagram, or step through the finished talk.

   

One slide at a time

Design slides from your Story notes.

Use this route when you know what you want to say. You write the script for each slide. The agent designs what the audience sees.

1. Write what you will say.

   Choose Create presentation → Story → Add slide. Name the card and write in its speaker notes. Add a card for each part of the talk. In our example, the third card is called Where would you wait?

   Speaker note

   Think of a bus stop on a hot afternoon. Where would you stand while you wait?

   

2. Choose the slide to design.

   On that card, choose Prepare design request. To design several slides, tick their cards and choose Prepare selected. Review which visuals will be replaced. If prompted, choose Continue to Agent access, enable access for the open presentation and choose Continue design request.

   

3. Give the agent your design direction.

   Choose Prepare agent request. In Agent Booth, choose Copy for agent and paste the prepared request into your connected client. Add a design direction alongside it. The agent reads the selected slide’s saved notes through the connection.

   Your slide direction Design this slide from its saved Story note. Make a simple side view of the bus stop. Start with the bench in direct sun. On my next press, show the tree and the shade over the bench. Keep my full speaker note.

4. Try the revised slide.

   When the agent saves the visual, open the slide and advance once. The bench stays in place as the tree and its shadow appear. Your spoken question stays in the notes. Try another direction or move to the next Story card.

   

Connect your agent.

Your AI runs in a separate client on your computer. Set up the client once, then choose which presentation it can use.

1. Install the DeckCoderAI preview. Open the deck and save any pending edits.
2. Choose Agent access → Client configuration. Select your client and choose Copy configuration. For Codex, add the copied entry to ~/.codex/config.toml, keeping your existing settings, then restart Codex. For another client, add its generated entry to that client’s MCP settings and restart its connection.
3. In DeckCoderAI, choose Enable for this presentation. Ask the client, “What presentation do I have open in DeckCoderAI?” Check that it names your deck.

Access ends when you turn it off, open a different presentation or quit. Your AI provider handles the material you share with it. Read the agent setup guide.

To explore before connecting an agent, choose Try the sample deck on the welcome screen, or download the tree presentation below.

Take it to the room.

Open your saved slide and choose Edit slide to change its wording. Choose Save & preview, then Present. Advance the bus-stop slide and use Back to repeat the question. The audience sees the reveal and your notes stay on your screen.

Share a browser export for supported interactions, or a .deckcoder file for an editable presentation with notes. PowerPoint export contains static slide images and optional editable notes.

Choose File → Open… in DeckCoderAI and select the downloaded file. When asked to Save an editable copy, give it a new folder name.
