PRODUCT OVERVIEW · FOR PEOPLE WHO PRESENT SlideCraft turns a goal into a partner-ready deck you can edit Describe what the deck must achieve and approve four checkpoints. Get an editable PowerPoint, a PDF and a partner-style review. Denis Ermilov · SlideCraft · 2026 This deck was built with SlideCraft itself, from examples/slidecraft-overview/deck.yaml.
SlideCraft · github.com/eiler2005/slidecraft 2 Most of a deck's time goes into work that is not thinking Formatting, fitting text, chasing sources and fixing alignment take the hours that should go into the argument. Ask the room how long their last board deck took, and how much of that was formatting.
SlideCraft · github.com/eiler2005/slidecraft 3 IN ONE PAGE SlideCraft applies consulting rules automatically and leaves you the decisions Decision requested: Try it on your next board, client or pitch deck SITUATION Decks drive decisions. Boards, steering committees, clients and investors judge the work by the pages they see. COMPLICATION Good decks follow strict rules — answer first, one claim per slide, every number sourced — and applying them by hand is slow and uneven. RESOLUTION SlideCraft builds the deck from a brief with your AI assistant, applies the rules on every slide and checks the result before you see it.
SlideCraft · github.com/eiler2005/slidecraft 4 HOW IT WORKS Four checkpoints keep you in charge while the assistant does the work You approve steps 1, 2, 3 and 5; everything in between is automated. Describe the goal Who the audience is, what you need from them, and what you will do with the deck Pick a template Three options for your task, each shown as a contact sheet of real slides Approve the titles The storyline as a chain of claims — read the titles and you have the argument Build the slides Charts, tables and text written to fit, with sources on every number Review and send A partner-style review, fixes applied, then PowerPoint, PDF and more
SlideCraft · github.com/eiler2005/slidecraft 5 WHAT CHANGES The same deck, without the late-night rework BUILDING IT BY HAND • Blank slides and copy-pasted templates • Text that overflows, or shrinks until no one can read it • Numbers without sources, found by the reviewer • Last-minute fixes the night before the meeting WITH SLIDECRAFT • The storyline and title chain agreed before any slide is drawn • Text measured to fit, exactly as PowerPoint will show it • Every number cited on the slide where it appears • A partner-style review before you press send
