MIT-licensed slide engine

Slide decks by AI
you can actually present

Templates set the layout and the length of every field. AI fills in the content, and the deck is done when the checks pass. You get one HTML file that opens offline.

Why it exists

Templates handle the layout.
You just read the content.

Fonts and images are packed into the file

Present without internet

Play this example

Each template states what it suits and how much text each field can hold. AI writes to those limits, so the layout holds.

Components

231 templates,
ready to use

Each template states what it suits and how much text each field can hold. AI writes to those limits, so the layout holds.

Networks, maps and glow

01

Globes, node grids, request paths and glow effects, all rendered offline, so nothing needs the internet on stage.

Data and relations

02

Rankings, flows, shares and distributions. Give it the data and get the chart.

Technical diagrams and code

03

Query plans, table schemas and code callouts for technical talks.

AI and models

04

Routing, context windows, pricing and scores, built for talking about models.

Rules

Why layouts don't break

Every field has a length limit; if it does not fit, split the slide

If it fails the checks, it isn't done

Each slide is checked for text collisions, clipping, safe areas and minimum font size. The last line says PASS or FAIL.

Remote assets are blocked at build time

Fonts and images go into one file, so nothing goes missing when you send it.

Decks only combine templates, with no custom CSS

FAQ

Plain answers

How is this different from PowerPoint?

The output is an HTML file that plays in a browser, with animations and build steps intact. It does not produce .pptx files and has no drag-and-drop editor: AI or you edit the source.

Can I export a PDF?

Yes. Open #/print and print from the browser. Each slide shows its fully built state.

Do I need internet to present?

No. Fonts and images are packed into the one file, and the build blocks remote resources.

Which AI do I have to use?

Claude Code, Codex and Cursor can read the guide in the repo directly. Other tools that read and write files work too.

Does it cost anything?

Every current template, style and the engine are free under the MIT licence. Pro is a separate set of template packs, sold as a yearly plan or a founder lifetime licence. The AI tool you use may have its own costs.

How do I install Pro?

After paying, create an npm token on your account page, add it to ~/.npmrc in your home folder, then run npm install @pcafe/pro. The token never goes into the project or into the exported HTML.
