Research in. A polished deck out — built live, exported to PPTX
Priya stopped spending nights in PowerPoint. MCPlato's deck wand turns her notes into a live HTML deck she watches build on a second screen, refines by asking, and exports as a pixel-perfect .pptx.

Priya lives in decks. The thinking is done by Tuesday; the rest of the week disappears into formatting 14 slides, hunting for visuals, aligning boxes, and exporting a version that looks the part. The deck always costs a late night it should not.
- A week of research, then nights lost to formatting slides
- Hunting and editing visuals one box at a time
- Reviewing on one screen while building on the same cramped one
How MCPlato does it
- 1
Drop in your research and brief
Point MCPlato at your notes and say the style, length, and brand color. The ppt-deck wand locks the brief and drafts a slide-by-slide outline.

It builds a real, live deck
The wand writes a single self-contained HTML deck — and the moment it does, the live preview comes alive. You are looking at the actual deck, not a mockup.

Watch and refine on a second screen
Detach the deck to its own window and drop it on a second monitor — or split the window side by side. Ask for changes in chat; every edit applies to the live deck instantly.

Export a pixel-perfect PPTX
When you approve, MCPlato screenshots every slide of the exact deck you reviewed and assembles a standard .pptx (with an optional 4K + PDF). What you saw is what you present.

Questions
What exactly is the "wand"?
A wand is a phase-driven object MCPlato builds in stages. The ppt-deck wand goes brief → live HTML deck → polish → export, validating each step, so you get a real, finished deck rather than a one-shot guess.
Can I really watch it build on a second screen?
Yes. The deck renders as a live preview the moment it is created. Detach that tab into its own window and move it to a second monitor, or split the window side by side — every edit the agent makes applies to the live deck instantly.
Is the exported file a real .pptx?
Yes — a standard PowerPoint file. MCPlato screenshots every slide of the exact deck you reviewed and assembles a .pptx (optionally 4K, with a PDF). It is pixel-perfect to the preview: what you saw is what you present.
Where do the slide visuals come from?
They are generated during the polish phase and wired straight into the deck, so you are not hunting stock images or nudging boxes one at a time.
Does my research leave my machine?
No. MCPlato reads your notes locally and even the export runs on your machine — the screenshots are taken in a hidden local window, so the deck is built without uploading your material.
