About Slides
Slides is a browser-based presentation editor that produces decks in HTML and CSS. Users can design by hand or with AI, refine decks with teammates, and present live from the browser.
A built-in AI agent can generate a first draft, rewrite content and polish speaker notes while keeping the deck editable. Teams share a library of themes, templates and media to keep branding consistent. Decks can be shared with a link, exported, embedded or self-hosted, and analytics show which slides land and how far viewers get. Developers get a REST API, an MCP server and full HTML and CSS access, and ChatGPT or Claude can be connected to create decks.
Slides is a hosted commercial service with a pricing page, a demo deck and documentation. The company describes the product as a faster browser-based workflow for presentations.
