Rideful Documentation
An AI presentation tool for professionals. Say what you want and Rideful changes the slide you point at — on your own template, exported as real PowerPoint. Works from Claude and ChatGPT too.
Use it in the app
rideful.io/slidesSign in and describe the deck you want in the composer above your decks — or open a deck and ask in the chat panel:
“Create a 5-slide pitch deck about [your topic] with dark backgrounds and bullet-point content slides.”
Or connect your own AI assistant
Connect any MCP-compatible AI assistant — Claude, ChatGPT, Le Chat, Claude Code — and ask it for the same deck.
Get Started
What is Rideful?
An AI presentation tool with the agent built into the app: describe a deck in the chat and work on it together, point at a slide and it edits that slide rather than rebuilding the deck, on your brand template, exporting real PowerPoint. Also drivable from Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client.
Quick Start
Create your first deck in under 2 minutes — in the app with the built-in chat, or from a connected AI assistant over MCP.
The AI agent
The agent built into Rideful — the composer above your decks and the chat panel in the editor. The plan it works from, what the designer, reviewer and researcher do, how approvals work, what it remembers about you, and how to stop, clear or undo a run.
Connect via MCP
How to connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client to Rideful's presentation tools
Knowledge Base
Agent Workflow
The recommended 7-step workflow agents should follow — from deck_get to bulk operations — plus the 4 hard constraints before creating any new deck
Design Techniques
8 visual techniques every presentation should use (color blocks, accent lines, stat callouts, split backgrounds) plus 10 reference color palettes with hex values
Slide Rules & Roles
How to use the deck's rules file, element roles (title, subtitle, body, footer), and semantic markup with recommended point sizes
Create with AI
Describe the deck you want in Rideful's built-in chat and the agent plans it, builds it on your template, and refines it with you — or drive the same decks from any AI assistant over MCP
Brand Templates
Import .potx/.potm templates and use them to maintain brand consistency; Rideful's own starter templates are listed alongside them
Deck Files
The rules, brief, design system and research reports a deck keeps across conversations: what each is for, editing them beside the chat, inheriting rules and a design system from a brand template, Reset to template, and deleting
Export to PowerPoint
Download any deck as a .pptx file compatible with PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides
Share a Deck
Invite people by email as editors or viewers, even if they have no account yet; change roles, remove access, find decks under Shared with me, and how invites differ from the public link
Present Mode, Builds & Transitions
Say what should come in and when and the agent builds the slide's entrance sequence; add fade, push or morph transitions, tune it all in the Animation panel, then present fullscreen, one click per step
Import Presentation
Import any .pptx file, then use AI to refine, restyle, and improve it
Flattened Decks
Why an imported deck whose slides are pictures can't have its text edited, what still works, and how the agent offers to rebuild it as editable slides — one slide first, keeping your words and photos
Add Images
Paste, drag, upload, or pick a stock photo in the editor, add one from a public URL, or have the agent find a photo on Pixabay or Wikimedia Commons, credited, or generate one, with automatic sizing and aspect ratio preservation
Tables
Insert a table from the toolbar, paste a range from Excel or Google Sheets onto the slide, or ask the agent for one; edit cells, rows, columns and merges, copy and paste cells, pick one of Rideful's table styles, and export real PowerPoint tables
Styling
Colors, fonts, sizes, markdown formatting, shape types, icons, and visual design techniques — the reference behind the properties the agent sets when you ask for a change
Your Fonts
Use your brand's typeface in any deck: fonts your imported presentations embed and .ttf or .woff2 files you upload are listed under Your fonts in the font picker; picking one adds it to the deck, where it renders for everyone and is embedded in the PowerPoint export
Layouts
Where a deck's layouts come from, how to discover them with deck_get, how agents edit them with the element tools, and what happens on a deck with none
Canvas Size
1280x720 (16:9), 1024x768 (4:3) or 1080x1080 (1:1), or the template's own canvas — all positions in pixels
Pricing & Usage
Free during early access, with everything included; the daily allowance for the in-app agent, what counts toward it and what happens when you reach it; and what changes when paid plans arrive.
Troubleshooting
Fixes for what goes wrong in the app — a run that seems stuck, a pending approval, the daily limit, a stale chat — plus MCP authentication, not-found, validation, image and batch-limit errors
MCP Tools
Overview
34 purpose-built tools that handle canvas math, font compatibility, text measurement, visual screenshots, and PowerPoint export — so agents focus on content and design
Deck Operations
Create, list, theme, and manage slide decks — including the deck-wide theme colors, fonts, and master background every slide inherits (deck_create, deck_get, deck_list, deck_update_theme, slide_bulk_create)
Folder Operations
Organize decks into folders on your Shelf (folder_list, folder_create, deck_move_to_folder)
Slide Operations
Add, get, update backgrounds (or reset one to the inherited layout/master background), duplicate, reorder, animate, delete, and screenshot any surface — a slide, a layout, or the deck master — at any build step (slide_create, slide_get, slide_update, slide_duplicate, slide_reorder, slide_delete, slide_set_build_sequence, slide_screenshot)
Element Operations
Create and style shapes (rectangle, ellipse, diamond, triangle, arrow, leftArrow, upArrow, downArrow, hexagon, star, pie, arc, donut — rectangles support cornerRadius for rounded corners; pie, arc and donut take angles), icons by name, text, lines, charts, tables, and images on a slide or on a layout, and duplicate existing ones exactly (element_create, element_bulk_create, element_bulk_update, element_duplicate, element_delete, icon_search)
Charts
Create and update data visualizations — bar, line, area, pie, scatter, bubble, doughnut, and radar charts with full styling control: gridlines, axis bounds/visibility, font styling, fill opacity, doughnut hole size, and auto-resolved font color for dark/light backgrounds (element_bulk_create with elementType: "chart", element_update_chart)
Tables
Create a table, then fill its cells, insert and delete rows and columns, merge and unmerge cells, format them, set column widths and pick one of 74 table styles by slug, in one atomic call; rows count from 1 and refit to their text (element_bulk_create with elementType: "table", element_update_table)
Images
Find photos on Pixabay or Wikimedia Commons with their licence and credit, and add images from URLs with automatic sizing, a box-filling crop and shape masks (image_search, element_create_image)
Templates
Use brand templates with pre-configured layouts, colors, and fonts, and read or screenshot the deck master alongside them (template_list, layout_list, layout_get, layout_update)
Fonts
Discover available fonts by tier, category and tag; every one exports to PowerPoint (util_list_fonts)
Text Measurement
Pre-measure text height and width to avoid overflow (util_measure_text)
Groups
Group and ungroup elements (element_group, element_ungroup)
