Slaide
Slaide is a plain-text slide language AI agents write flawlessly. One .slaide file - Markdown plus a small YAML theme - renders to a navigable web deck and a high-fidelity PDF. Open source, Apache-2.0.
Slaide turns plain text into presentation decks. You write Markdown with a small YAML theme block in a single .slaide file. The same source renders three ways: a navigable web deck, a high-fidelity PDF, and an editable .pptx.
How it works
- Write slides as text with
---separators - Set fonts, colors, and layout in a YAML theme block at the top
- Render locally or in the browser editor
The format is designed for AI agents. An MCP server and Agent Skill let Claude, GPT, or any coding agent author decks directly, without fighting a GUI. The agent writes a text file. The text file becomes a deck.
Key features
- Plain text source โ git-diffable, mergeable, reviewable like code
- Web editor โ free for signed-in users, drag-and-drop layout, live preview
- PPTX export โ hand decks to PowerPoint users without converting manually
- Theming โ three lines of YAML control the entire visual identity
- AI-native โ agents produce clean
.slaidefiles on the first pass because the format is Markdown, not XML
Pricing
The core tool and CLI are Apache-2.0 open source. The hosted editor is free. AI-powered generation on the hosted platform starts at $6.90/month (limited-time launch pricing through August 2026).
Who it is for
Consultants, founders, and developers who build decks regularly and want to skip the template-picking and box-dragging. Teams that already use AI coding agents and want those agents to produce slide decks too.
A startup from San Francisco, the United States that is founded by Paul Piper, Jennifer Brehm.
