AI Analysis

●●SolidSolve My ProblemSlick

Gamma without the template prison, but layout bugs still require prompt tweaking.

Strengths
  • Style references (McKinsey, Apple, Bauhaus) guide visual output without rigid templates
  • DOM-based canvas with full editability and modern CSS support
  • Pulls images and content from URLs, generates images inline
Weaknesses
  • Layout calculations break when placing multiple elements; requires manual correction via re-prompting
  • AI slide generation is crowded (Gamma, Beautiful.ai, Tome already solve this problem well)

Post Description

I hate the feeling of sitting in front of an empty deck or slide trying to figure out where to begin. But I don't want that same AI generic output for every slide deck, it's just sad.

That's why I've tried to the death of me to make AI slide generation truly free, free in the sense that it can create whatever you want without being locked into fixed template systems or rigid layout grids like Gamma imposes.

As of now it does that. Layout calculations can still break when placing multiple elements simultaneously, cards or charts can fall off the edge, but it's easily fixed by prompting the AI to read the slide and correct it. I'm pretty proud of where it's gotten. Style references work well, mentioning McKinsey, Apple, Microsoft, or Bauhaus gives the AI a clear visual target. It can pull in images and content from URLs, generate images, and everything is fully editable on a DOM-based slide canvas with modern CSS.

It runs on Claude Sonnet 4.6 for cost reasons. I'm not funded, so I can't let people go completely loose for free, sorry about that, and that's why sign-in is required. I was an investment banking / coding kid who turned vibe coder until I got reasonably good at actual coding. Would love to hear what you think and whether you'd use this over Gamma / Chronicle / PowerPoint with Claude / Canva.

Please try it out, roast me, send me some slides on X, would love to see what you create https://x.com/Lurrree
