Quick Start Guide

Create your first presentation in under 2 minutes using any connected AI assistant.

Step by Step

  1. Connect your AI assistant to Rideful

    If you haven't already, connect your AI client to Rideful's MCP server. See the Connect via MCP guide for setup instructions.

  2. Ask your AI to create a presentation

    Use natural language — describe what you need and the AI handles the rest:

    “Create a 5-slide pitch deck about our Q4 results. Use a dark theme with blue tones.”
  3. The AI follows the recommended workflow

    Behind the scenes, your AI assistant will:

    • Check for brand templates (slides_list_templates)
    • Discover available fonts (slides_list_fonts)
    • Present a design plan (colors, fonts, layout) for your approval
    • Create the entire deck in one call (slides_bulk_create)
  4. View and refine at rideful.io

    Your presentation appears in the visual editor in real-time. You can refine by hand — drag elements, adjust colors, edit text — or keep instructing the AI to make changes.

  5. Export to PowerPoint when ready

    Download as a .pptx file that looks identical in PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides. Ask your AI “export this deck to PowerPoint” or use the export button in the editor.

What Happens Behind the Scenes

When you ask for a presentation, the AI translates your natural language into MCP tool calls. Here's what a slides_bulk_create call looks like for a 3-slide business review deck:

{
  "name": "Q4 Business Review",
  "aspectRatio": "16:9",
  "masterStyles": {
    "backgroundColor": "#1C2833",
    "titleStyle": {
      "textColor": "#FFFFFF",
      "fontSize": 40,
      "fontFamily": "Inter"
    },
    "bodyStyle": {
      "textColor": "#AAB7B8",
      "fontSize": 16,
      "fontFamily": "Inter"
    }
  },
  "slides": [
    {
      "layoutId": "builtin-title-slide",
      "title": "Q4 2025 Business Review",
      "subtitle": "Key metrics, wins, and roadmap",
      "titleStyle": { "fontSize": 44 },
      "subtitleStyle": { "textColor": "#AAB7B8", "fontSize": 20 }
    },
    {
      "layoutId": "builtin-title-and-content",
      "title": "Revenue Highlights",
      "body": "- **$4.2M** total revenue (+32% YoY)\n- **1,200** new enterprise accounts\n- **94%** net retention rate\n- Expansion into EMEA drove 40% of growth",
      "backgroundColor": "#2E4053"
    },
    {
      "layoutId": "builtin-title-and-content",
      "title": "2026 Roadmap",
      "body": "1. Launch enterprise SSO integration\n2. Expand template marketplace\n3. Add real-time collaboration analytics\n4. Open API for third-party integrations"
    }
  ]
}

This single call creates the deck with consistent styling (masterStyles), built-in layouts, and markdown-formatted content. The AI can then iterate — updating individual elements, adding slides, or adjusting colors — without regenerating the whole deck.
