Product Update - July 2025

Transform how your team creates decks with structured document automation. Managers lay the groundwork by defining presentation architecture with placeholders and logic, while end users simply fill out a short form. Based on their responses, the platform automatically inserts the right slides and content, whether you’re building a sales deck, onboarding guide, or any tailored presentation.

Why this matters

• Save hours of work - Never start presentations from scratch. Minimize manual edits while personalizing each deck.
• Increased brand consistency - Ensure every presentation follows your company’s style and messaging.
• Scale across teams - Managers set up the framework once, and anyone can reuse it.
• Personalize effortlessly - Sales, onboarding, or regional decks can be tailored in just a few clicks.

How it Works

1. Managers define the framework
   Set up placeholders for elements such as client names, logos, industries, or regions. Create slide placeholders with variable groups (e.g., for slides about services, case studies, regional contact details).

2. Managers create a simple form with questions and predefined answers
   Example questions and answers:****

3. Which industry does the client belong to?

   • Technology
   • Healthcare
   • Finance
   • Other

4. Which region should be included in the contact details?

   • North America
   • Europe
   • Asia-Pacific

5. End users complete the form
   Users simply select the relevant answers from the form instead of editing slides manually.

6. The platform generates the presentation automatically
   Based on the selections, the platform inserts the right slides, fills placeholders with the correct logos, text, or images, and delivers a polished, customized deck.

This can be helpful for example:

• Sales Teams → Generate a fully customized client deck for example with industry-specific case studies and regional contacts in a few clicks.
• HR & Onboarding → Deliver consistent new-hire presentations, automatically tailored to location or role.
• Marketing & Training → Scale content across regions or product lines without recreating slides each time.

Quick step-by-step setup walkthrough

1. Define Your Purpose
   Kick off by clarifying what you're automating and why—e.g., crafting client-focused sales decks with dynamic fields like Client Name, Industry, Region, and Services Interest.
2. (Optional)  Add Placeholders
3. Convert to Presentation Builder
   Change the presentation type in settings to Presentation Builder to unlock dynamic automation..
4. Create Variable Slide Groups
   Organize your slides into groups such as services, cases, and contact info. For example:
   • Case studies
   • Contact slides
   • CV slides, etc.
5. Build the Form
   Create a form in the Variable Slides → Associated Forms section:
   • Generate simple questions and answeres to guide your logic.
   • Use conditional logic to ask follow-up questions.
6. Apply Logic to Slide Groups
   Map form answers to corresponding slide insertions:
   • Example: If a user selects a specific industry, then insert the case study regarding that specific indusrty.
7. Apply Logic to Placeholders
   Enhance slides further:
   • Image Placeholders: Automatically display contextually relevant visuals based on selected services, eliminating the need for end-users to manually insert images.
   • Text Placeholders: Dynamically populate industry-specific terminology, contact information, and accurate pricing or currency based on user input.
8. Preview & Test
   Use the Preview button to simulate the user experience and ensure all logic works seamlessly from forms to content insertion.
