Does Claude keep slides consistent past 20 slides?

On its own, Claude's formatting tends to drift on longer decks. With heydecks the layout and brand come from the Brand Kernel and a typed slide system, not from the model reformatting each slide, so slide 40 looks like slide 1.

Can Claude export a .pptx file directly from chat?

Claude chat cannot write a native .pptx on its own. Connected to the heydecks MCP server it can: Claude calls heydecks and hands back a real, editable PowerPoint plus a live link and a PDF, all on your brand.

Can Claude make PowerPoint files?

Yes, through heydecks. Claude writes the deck and heydecks exports a native PPTX along with a live link and a PDF, all from one request. Exports are always free.

Do I need to write any code?

No. You add the heydecks MCP server to your Claude config once, then ask for decks in plain language. Developers can also use the REST API, but it is not required.

Does building decks with Claude cost credits?

Yes. A deck costs 100 credits whether you build it over MCP, the REST API, or in the dashboard. AI images and AI edits cost extra; reading and PDF and PPTX exports are always free.

Will the deck match my brand?

Yes. Point heydecks at your website once and the Brand Kernel applies your colors, type, and logo to every slide Claude builds.

Which Claude apps does this work with?

Any Claude surface that supports MCP, including Claude Desktop and Claude Code. The same heydecks tools appear in each.

Is heydecks free to start?

Yes. You can start free with no card and a one-time grant of credits. The MCP server is available on every plan.

Why build decks with heydecks.

Claude writes, heydecks renders

The host model owns the words. heydecks owns the design, the brand, and the export formats, so the output looks made by a designer.

On-brand every time

Extract your brand from your site once. Every deck Claude builds honors it without you re-styling a thing.

Three formats, one call

A live link for sharing, a PDF for the data room, and a native PPTX for the people who still want slides they can nudge.

Built over MCP

Claude drives the whole flow over MCP, drafting and refining the deck without you touching a slide.

Claude alone

Claude can write slide text, but you still paste it into PowerPoint or Google Slides, fix the formatting, and re-apply your brand by hand every time.

Claude with heydecks

Claude calls heydecks and hands back a finished, on-brand deck with a link, a PDF, and a PPTX. No copy and paste, no reformatting.

Questions about Claude

Claude writes excellent slide copy, but turning that copy into a designed, on-brand layout normally still needs a human in PowerPoint or Google Slides. heydecks closes that gap: Claude writes the words, heydecks owns the design, the brand, and the export.
