About 2Slides
2Slides is an AI presentation agent that turns plain text, a reference image, or an existing document into a ready-to-edit PowerPoint file in about 30 seconds. The same capability is exposed as a public REST API and an open-source MCP server, so AI agents such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, and custom automations can generate slides as a tool call rather than as manual work.
Why 2Slides exists
Most presentation software assumes a person will sit down and lay out every slide. That assumption breaks the moment deck creation becomes part of a workflow — a weekly report, a customer-facing deck generated from a CRM record, an investor update assembled from a finished analysis. 2Slides was built the other way around: a deck is an output format, and anything that can describe its content should be able to produce one, whether that is a person, a script, or an AI agent. Everything else follows from that. It is why the API and the MCP server are first-class products rather than add-ons, and why the output is a real .pptx file that opens losslessly in PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides, and LibreOffice instead of a proprietary web format you can only edit on our site.
Two ways to generate a deck
2Slides runs two distinct generation pipelines. Choosing the right one matters, because they have different strengths and different output capabilities.
Fast PPT flow
Template-driven generation built for speed. It pairs a language model with our master-slide template library and returns a native .pptx in roughly 22 to 30 seconds for a ten-slide deck. Use it when you want a well-structured, on-brand deck quickly, or when you are generating decks programmatically at volume. This flow does not produce narration or video.
/fast-ppt →Workspace flow
Image-generated slides built for visual control. It runs a multi-stage pipeline that takes minutes rather than seconds, and supports per-page AI narration with more than 30 voices plus MP4 export at 1920×1080 or 1080×1920. Use it when the visual design carries the message, or when you need a narrated video version of the deck.
/products/nano-banana-presentation-slides →Built for developers and AI agents
A large share of 2Slides usage never touches the web interface. These are the supported integration paths.
Public REST API
Documented at 2slides.com/api, with asynchronous job processing and a searchable endpoint over the full template library. Authentication is a bearer API key, and new accounts receive free trial credits.
MCP server
A hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint plus an open-source stdio server, published as 2slides-mcp on npm and as 2slides/mcp-2slides on GitHub. Both expose seven tools covering generation, narration, template search, and job status, so an agent can return a finished deck the way it would return any other answer. github.com/2slides/mcp-2slides
Agent Skill
2Slides ships a SKILL.md package that teaches coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor — to drive the API directly. It is published at 2slides.com/skill.md.

Where 2Slides is not the right tool
We would rather be accurate than universal. 2Slides is a poor fit in these cases, and we will say so:
- Real-time collaborative editing during a live meeting — Google Slides, Pitch, and Beautiful.ai are stronger here.
- Web-native scrolling presentations rather than slide decks — Gamma is purpose-built for that format.
- Editing directly inside Google Slides as an add-on — Plus AI is purpose-built for that workflow.
- Decks whose charts must be sourced from live market data — 2Slides has no market-data layer and only formats an analysis once it already exists.
