Decks: Open-Source Slide Tool Lets Agents Handle Design While Humans Focus on Content

Decks, a newly highlighted open-source platform, shifts the paradigm of professional presentation creation by automating slide design through AI coding agents while keeping humans focused on strategy and narrative. The MIT-licensed tool, built by Paul Millerd and maintained on GitHub, operates as a single HTML file that runs locally—eliminating the need for cloud storage or bulky design software. Users comment directly on slides with requested changes; Claude Code or Codex reads those comments, edits the deck programmatically, and replies inline with screenshots of the result. An integrated quality audit system checks readability (five-second and ten-second tests) and design consistency before the agent exports a numbered PDF.
