  title: SlideForge Deck API
  description: 'Agent-first PowerPoint generation. Send structured slide intents (a `form` plus typed fields) or a brief; get back a real, editable `.pptx`. The draw path is deterministic — no model renders your slide, so supplied numbers and text come out verbatim. Every response carries `status`, `fidelity` and `warnings` so an automated caller can tell whether the output is usable. $0.05 per slide; an unusable slide is not billed. Authenticate with a SlideForge API key (`Authorization: Bearer sf_live_…` or `X-API-Key`) — new accounts include 60 free slides, no credit card: https://slideforge.dev/sign-up'
