Deck Mode

Turn a dashboard into a slideshow with speaker notes, AI-written slide content, and PPTX export.

Deck mode is a slideshow view of your dashboard — one chart per slide, AI-written insights next to each, and a presenter UI. Good for the meeting after the analysis, where you need a narrative with speaker notes, not a detail-dense report.

Deck and Report share the same generation flow. The difference is the output shape and the export target — Deck produces a PPTX you stand up and present from; Report produces a PDF or DOCX you read.

When to use Deck vs Report

Use a Deck when…	Use a Report when…
You will present live — projector, Zoom, Loom	The artifact is read, not shown
Charts carry the story; text is supporting	Prose is primary; charts illustrate
You want speaker notes and chart captions	You want headings, sections, tables
Output is PPTX for a meeting	Output is PDF or DOCX for an email

Generating a deck

From a dashboard, click Present → Generate deck.
Slides stream in parallel — up to three at a time. As each one completes you see it land in the slide rail.
The deck costs 3 credits on Standard, 15 on Premium (Credits).

The right panel chat lets you rewrite a single slide (2 credits / 10 Premium) — e.g. "make the takeaway more blunt" or "re-summarize for an exec audience".

Slide types

Type	Shape	Content
Title slide	1 slide	Deck name, subtitle, date, branding footer
Chart slides	N slides	One widget chart + 3 bullet insights + optional values inline
Insight slides	0–2 slides	Bulleted takeaways, no chart
Summary slide	1 slide	Closing slide with overall narrative

The AI picks the mix based on widget count, data domain, and your prompt. You can edit any slide in place before export.

Template values

Chart slides can fill in numbers from the underlying SQL. Bullets like:

Revenue grew by 18% to $2.4M in March.

…are written by the AI as placeholders and filled in with your real numbers before the deck reaches the slide rail. Currency, percent, date, count, and duration formatting all come through correctly.

Presenter mode

Click Present to go fullscreen:

← / → advance slides
Esc exits
Speaker notes are visible in the presenter's view, hidden from your audience

PPTX export

Click Export to download a real .pptx:

Charts are embedded as images
Text stays native PowerPoint text — selectable and editable in Keynote or PowerPoint
Speaker notes populate the Notes pane per slide
Branding (company name, logo) appears on the title slide and footer

Export is free — you already paid credits during generation.

Deck editing

Per-slide chat rewrites content. The editor also lets you:

Reorder slides (drag)
Delete or duplicate
Swap a chart for another widget
Edit speaker notes inline
Tweak the deck title and subtitle

Changes are local — no server round-trip until you regenerate or export.
