Your first document in four steps

This is what happens when you describe what you need.

Describe what you need

Write a request in plain words and attach files if the facts should come from you. Slaide asks a few short questions when something matters.

Check the page plan

Before anything is built you see the plan: one card per page with its title and content, plus the assumptions Slaide made. Tweak it or go.

Watch it being built

Pages appear one after another while the assistant panel lists what it does, including the render check of each page.

Edit and export

Change anything by clicking or by asking, undo what you do not like, then export to PowerPoint, Word, PDF or images.
