Why teams switch.
Brand control you can call
heydecks puts the Brand Kernel behind an API. Your agent or backend passes a brand and every deck honors it. Presentations.ai keeps brand settings inside its app, applied through the UI.
Agent-native by design
Connect heydecks over MCP and Claude builds decks directly, or hit the REST API from your code. It is built for automated, repeatable generation rather than one-at-a-time editing.
Editable exports, every time
Every deck exports to a native, editable PPTX and a vector PDF. You keep files you can open and adjust anywhere, not just inside one tool.
