Slates is built from scratch for agents, not adapted from human-first tools. It serves as a presentation primitive specifically designed for LLMs and AI-powered presentations.
The product features JSON-native presentations where content is structured data. It uses grid layouts without pixel coordinates, allowing agents to pick templates and fill content while the grid handles design automatically. The interface is clean, minimal, and focused with no cluttered menus or toolbars, where everything snaps to a 24-column grid and includes beautiful typography out of the box.
Slates is MCP-first, requiring just one connection for any agent to create presentations programmatically. Unlike existing tools that are retrofitted for programmatic access, Slates assumes the agent is the primary user from day one.
The main benefit is rapid presentation creation through AI agents. Users can connect their favorite AI agents in seconds by opening Cursor, Claude Desktop, or any MCP client, adding the server URL from settings, and simply saying "Create a pitch deck about X" to generate slides instantly.
The target users are developers and AI agents working with MCP clients. The product integrates with AI agent platforms through MCP connections.
