Everything you need to create, refine and present
SlydeForge combines an AI generation engine, a complete graphics editor, and a professional presentation pipeline — on a technical foundation built for the enterprise.
JSON as the single source of truth
Every presentation is a versioned JSON document, validated against a strict schema. The on-screen preview and the PowerPoint export are two independent renderings of the same document: what you see is faithfully what gets exported.
- Preview and AI captures rendered natively (Qt) — no Chromium to install, a real advantage on a locked-down machine.
- Round-trip tested PowerPoint export: every JSON element becomes a real PowerPoint object, never a frozen image.
- Percentage-based coordinates and semantic roles per element — layout stays consistent regardless of resolution.
AI that reads your data before it writes
Describe your need and attach your source files: SlydeForge extracts usable content before the AI is even called.
- Supported formats: .xlsx/.xlsm, .csv/.tsv, .pptx, .docx, .pdf, .txt/.md, images.
- Extraction of values, indicators, statuses and flagged items — the AI generates by citing exact figures.
- The AI writes, SlydeForge lays out: layout computed from your brand kit and its slide templates, in every format, with no overflowing text — fast and token-efficient.
- Images attached to the brief placed on slides, web links actually read as sources; optionally, transitions, animations, speaker notes and AI images from the very first generation.
The precision of a full graphics editor
Click, drag, resize: SlydeForge behaves like the professional tools you already know.
- Magnetic alignment guides on the edges and centers of other elements.
- Properties panel that adapts to the selected element type (text, shape, image, table, chart).
- Full Insert menu: text box, shapes, image, background image, table, chart, slide from a type template.
- Configurable borders and drop shadow, identical on screen and in the export.
- Dedicated zoom, unlimited undo/redo, continuous autosave.
- Ctrl+F search across all slides and notes, with highlighting and a list of matches.
An assistant that explains what it's doing, and never surprises you
Describe a change in plain language; SlydeForge always offers a before/after preview before applying anything.
- Explicit scope: "this slide" or "the whole deck".
- Persistent per-project conversation — context carries over from one prompt to the next.
- Live processing indicator (phase, timer, estimated tokens), raw stream available in a collapsible Details panel.
- Minimal targeted patch (JSON Patch RFC 6902), bounded self-check when a patch comes back incomplete.
- Formatting (structures and art directions as real previews), Challenge (targeted questions, then a rewrite), Photo and AI image buttons.
- Quick 👍/👎 feedback after every AI action, synthesized to feed the product roadmap.
A visual identity applied everywhere, automatically
Colors by role, fonts, sizes, bullets, logo — the theme isn't optional decoration, it drives generation itself.
- Multi-file AI analysis: derive a complete theme from a logo, an existing PowerPoint, or screenshots.
- Dynamic extraction from a corporate PPTX: embedded images and real layout names, reused as raw material.
- Custom slide types with full styling, reusable in one click.
- Theme library shared across projects, configurable default theme.
- Logo placed automatically on every slide, on screen and in the export.
Three image sources, one interface
A unified three-tab dialog, wherever you enter it from (insert or replace).
- Library: theme images and images already used in the project.
- Royalty-free search (Unsplash, Pexels), photographer credit shown automatically; the Photo button offers several photos already built into the slide.
- AI generation (DALL·E / Azure OpenAI or a compatible service, local ones included); the AI image button offers several images already built into the slide, after a cost warning.
From a static slide to a full show
Animation, transitions, timing and narration: SlydeForge carries the presentation all the way to the projector.
- Rich animation catalog and slide transitions.
- Presenter mode with timing and a multi-monitor screen selector.
- AI-suggested presenter notes, aware of the actual number of animation steps.
- [[anim]] tags in the notes: voice narration triggers the animation at exactly the right moment.
- Voice dictation available in every prompt field.
Automatic narration and video export
A searchable, multi-engine voice library, and a video export assembled without leaving the app.
- Automatic voice playback in presentation mode, synced to animation tags.
- MP4 video export: per-step animation rendering, notes speech synthesis, ffmpeg assembly.
- Guided ffmpeg installation (via winget) when needed — no technical expertise required.
Nothing gets lost, everything is found again
Every change is tracked; every project stays manageable even on an install shared between multiple users.
- Version timeline, named save points, one-click restore.
- Full project export/import (deck, versions, theme) as a .zip.
- Sortable, filterable project table with creator traceability.
- Search by name or creator — useful on a shared network drive.
A real PowerPoint file, not an image
The .pptx export faithfully matches what's shown in the application.
- Every JSON element becomes a real PowerPoint object: textbox, shape, image, table, native chart.
- Colors, borders, drop shadows and image fit (contain/cover/stretch) identical to the on-screen view.
- Ready-to-use file name and export folder, easy to find and clean up.
Designed for the locked-down workstation
Many tools assume free internet access and administrator rights. SlydeForge is designed to work just as well on a locked-down workstation — an SSL inspection proxy, restricted internet access, no admin rights — without cutting any corners.
- Trusts the Windows certificate store (truststore): SSL works behind an inspection proxy without disabling anything.
- User-mode installation, no administrator rights required.
- Network-drive-compatible launcher (UNC), automatic dependency check and install on first run.
- Per-user configuration and data (%APPDATA%) — a shared install never mixes up accounts.
- 3 AI backends to choose from: GitHub Copilot Enterprise, GitHub Models, or any OpenAI-compatible API (Azure OpenAI, Ollama, an internal endpoint) — you stay in control of your data.
