In [00:06] Replit, you can build a complete [00:07] polished slide deck just by describing [00:09] what you want. Let me show you how. Open [00:11] the Replit homepage and just type in [00:13] what you want. I'm going to say, "Create [00:15] a pitch deck for a travel planner app." [00:18] Agent might ask you some questions about [00:19] what you want. They might ask [music] [00:21] you how many pages you want or the style [00:23] you're looking for. I'm going to choose [00:24] seven pages and type in a clean and [00:26] minimal style, and then send that in and [00:29] [music] wait for Agent to do its magic. [00:31] Agent now will generate a complete deck [00:33] with visuals, layouts, and text. All [00:35] right, it looks like it's done. It has a [00:37] [music] travel planner look and this [00:39] really beautiful minimal style. I think [00:41] this is really professional and probably [00:42] better than anything I could have made. [00:44] Once you have your first version, you [00:45] can refine it through conversation. You [00:47] don't have to start over. I'm going to [00:49] ask Agent to add a picture [music] to [00:50] the problem slide. Wow, look at that. It [00:52] added an animation of a brainstorming [00:55] page and I think it looks really good. [00:57] You can also select an element [music] [00:59] on your slide and adjust it. You can [01:01] change the text, what it's going to say. [01:03] You can [music] also change the color of [01:04] it, the size of it, anything you want. [01:07] I'm going to change it to say, "This is [01:08] Wayfair." and change the font size [01:10] [music] to be a little bit bigger. And [01:12] then once I'm happy with that, I'm going [01:14] to save the changes. These edits don't [01:16] use any AI credits. It's just [music] [01:17] you tweaking the design. If you're [01:19] starting a deck from scratch, there's a [01:21] few ways to start a slide deck. You can [01:23] upload your brand guidelines and Agent [01:24] will match your fonts, colors, and [01:26] visuals across every slide. You can also [01:29] upload an existing presentation as a [01:30] starting point that Agent can use. When [01:32] your deck is ready, you can hit this top [01:34] right present button and it will show [01:36] your slide deck in full screen. If you [01:38] need to take your presentation outside [01:40] of Replit, you can export it as a PDF, [01:42] PowerPoint, or Google Slides. [music] [01:44] Because the slides are built using [01:46] React, they will look exactly the same [01:48] outside of Replit as they do inside. Or [01:50] you can skip the export entirely, hit [01:52] publish, and your slide deck becomes a [01:54] live shareable URL. Anyone with the link [01:56] can view it and present from their [01:58] browser. Slide [music] decks are [01:59] available on all Replit plans, so go [02:01] build something with Replit. Check out [02:03] the link in the description for the full [02:05] docs.  📄 **Full text:** ![[Full Document Contents/Articles/How to Build Slide Decks With Replit Agent.md|How to Build Slide Decks With Replit Agent by YouTube]] ## Highlights - Agent now will generate a complete deck with visuals, layouts, and text.
