Slides Cog - Content Worth Presenting, Design Worth Looking At

Great slides need two things: content worth presenting and design worth looking at. CellCog takes both seriously.

• Content: Your prompt can be minimal — CellCog researches and fills in substance, not filler
• Design: PDF slides or native PPTX, with layouts, typography, and visuals you can present as-is

Pitch decks, keynotes, board presentations, image slideshows — ready to present, not ready to fix.

How to Use

For your first CellCog task in a session, read the cellcog skill for the full SDK reference — file handling, chat modes, timeouts, and more.

OpenClaw (fire-and-forget):

result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    notify_session_key="agent:main:main",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="agent",
)

All agents except OpenClaw (blocks until done):

from cellcog import CellCogClient
client = CellCogClient(agent_provider="openclaw|cursor|claude-code|codex|...")
result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="agent",
)
print(result["message"])

Output Formats

CellCog generates presentations in multiple formats. Each has its strengths:

PDF (Default for Ambiguous Requests)

When you say "create a presentation" or "make a slide deck" without specifying a format, CellCog generates PDF:

• Full control over layout, typography, and design
• Perfect rendering across all devices
• Professional, polished results every time
• Supports images, charts, complex layouts without compromise

PPTX (First-Class Support)

When you explicitly request PPTX ("create a PowerPoint", "make a .pptx"), CellCog generates native PowerPoint directly:

• Editable slides — your team can modify, reorder, and customize
• Compatible with PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Keynote
• Professional layouts with proper slide masters and formatting
• Great for collaborative workflows where multiple people contribute

Just ask for PPTX and you'll get it. No need to justify why you want an editable format.

Output Format Summary

Chat Mode for Presentations

Use "agent" for most presentations. Standard business decks, training materials, and informational slides execute well in agent mode.

Use "agent team" for high-stakes presentations where narrative flow, persuasion, and multi-angle thinking matter—investor pitches, board decks, conference keynotes where every slide needs to build a compelling story.

Tips for Better Presentations

1. Specify slide count: "10-12 slides" helps scope appropriately. Pitch decks are typically 10-15 slides. Training can be 20-30.

1. List the slides you want: Even a rough outline helps. "Include: Problem, Solution, Market, Team, Ask."

1. Provide key content: Actual metrics, quotes, and facts make better slides than placeholders.

1. Design direction: "Minimal and modern", "Corporate professional", "Bold and colorful", specific colors.

1. Mention the audience: "For investors", "For technical team", "For executives" changes tone and detail level.

1. Choose your format: PDF is the default for polished output. Request PPTX when your team needs to edit or customize the slides.
