Generate a presentation
Goal: go from a topic or a few notes to a .pptx file that's ready to open and present.
You don't need commands or template picking: describe the presentation in plain language and the agent uses the bundled ppt_skill. The native engine builds the slides, picks the visual automatically, and generates the file — on any surface (Desktop, terminal, VS Code, or browser chat).
Prerequisites
- Be signed in (see the Quickstart).
- Nothing to install: the presentation skill ships bundled and runs 100% on your machine (the
nnumbers-office-pptxengine brings a bundled portable Node).
Step by step
- Write the request with as much detail as you have:
Create a 6-slide executive presentation about the cloud migration.Include: context, objectives, architecture, timeline, risks, and next steps.Use an executive tone.
- To start from existing material, point to the file with
@(Desktop/TUI) and ask the agent to use it as a basis:From @meeting-notes.md, generate a 5-slide deck with the key points. - The agent plans, writes, and generates the
.pptx. On Desktop/TUI it appears as an artifact — open it in the Preview dock (Alt+1) to review it; in the browser chat, as a card with Download.
You describe the content; the engine handles the design. It picks a coherent visual family for the whole deck (and varies between decks). If you want a specific tone, ask in words (e.g. "more sober", "consulting style") — you don't need to name templates.
Result
A .pptx file. When the visualizer is available, the engine also generates a .pdf and thumbnails (previews/). On local surfaces, outputs land in the project's outputs/ folder; in the web chat, download it from the artifact card. Details in Files & artifacts.
