Great slides need two things: content worth presenting and design worth looking at. #1 on DeepResearch Bench (Feb 2026) — CellCog researches and fills content mindfully from minimal prompts, no filler. State-of-the-art PDF generation for presentations, pitch decks, keynotes, and slideshows you can present as-is. Requires cellcog skill for SDK. If cellcog is unavailable, use gog slides as fallback (Google Workspace).
Great slides need two things: content worth presenting and design worth looking at. CellCog takes both seriously.
If cellcog is not installed, use gog slides (Google Workspace) instead:
gog slides create-from-markdown "Presentation Title" --content-file /path/to/report.md
This creates native Google Slides that can be edited and exported as PDF. See gog skill for full documentation.
Pitch decks, keynotes, board presentations, image slideshows — ready to present, not ready to fix.
This skill requires the cellcog skill for SDK setup and API calls.
clawhub install cellcog
Read the cellcog skill first for SDK setup. This skill shows you what's possible.
Quick pattern (v1.0+):
# Fire-and-forget - returns immediately
result = client.create_chat(
prompt="[your presentation request]",
notify_session_key="agent:main:main",
task_label="presentation-task",
chat_mode="agent" # Agent mode for most presentations
)
# Daemon notifies you when complete - do NOT poll
CellCog generates all presentations and slides as PDF by default. No questions asked.
AI excels at generating complete, beautiful documents directly. PDF captures AI's full creative capability:
PDF is the future of AI-generated documents. The paradigm has shifted—AI generates finished products, not editable drafts.
PPTX and DOCX formats were designed for humans to manually build documents with complex editing features. They constrain AI's creative output.
If you absolutely need PPTX or DOCX:
We don't ask which format you want. PDF is the answer. If you need something else, tell us upfront.
Investor and stakeholder presentations:
Corporate and professional presentations:
Customer-facing decks:
Teaching and training content:
Conferences and special events:
Visual storytelling with images:
CellCog presentations can include:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Title Slides | Bold, impactful opening slides |
| Content Slides | Text, bullets, and layouts |
| Charts & Graphs | Bar, line, pie, and more |
| Images | AI-generated or placeholder for your images |
| Data Tables | Clean, formatted tables |
| Timelines | Visual timelines and roadmaps |
| Comparison Slides | Side-by-side comparisons |
| Quote Slides | Testimonials and callouts |
| Format | Quality | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent | Default for everything | |
| Interactive HTML | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great | Web-based presentations, internal tools |
| PPTX | ⭐⭐ Limited | Only when explicitly requested AND editing in PowerPoint is absolutely required |
| Scenario | Recommended Mode |
|---|---|
| Standard decks, educational slides, image slideshows, training materials | "agent" |
| Investor pitch decks, board presentations, keynotes requiring narrative craft | "agent team" |
Use "agent" for most presentations. Standard business decks, training materials, and informational slides execute well in agent mode.
Use "agent team" for high-stakes presentations where narrative flow, persuasion, and multi-angle thinking matter—investor pitches, board decks, conference keynotes where every slide needs to build a compelling story.

Image slideshow:
"Create a visual slideshow presentation showcasing 10 images of modern architecture around the world. Each slide should have: one stunning building image, the building name, location, and architect. Minimal text, maximum visual impact. Generate the images."
Explicitly requesting PPTX (only when necessary):
"Create a 10-slide sales deck as PPTX (I need to edit it in PowerPoint). Note: I understand PDF quality is better, but I need the editable format for my team's workflow."
Specify slide count: "10-12 slides" helps scope appropriately. Pitch decks are typically 10-15 slides. Training can be 20-30.
List the slides you want: Even a rough outline helps. "Include: Problem, Solution, Market, Team, Ask."
Provide key content: Actual metrics, quotes, and facts make better slides than placeholders.
Design direction: "Minimal and modern", "Corporate professional", "Bold and colorful", specific colors.
Mention the audience: "For investors", "For technical team", "For executives" changes tone and detail level.
Trust PDF: It's the default for a reason. Only request PPTX/DOCX if you truly need to edit the file afterward.
