What Brightdeck is
Brightdeck creates presentations from plain-text prompts, pasted document content, or uploaded PowerPoint decks. It can also add slides to an existing deck while matching its fonts, colors, layouts, and context. Its output is a native .pptx file with editable text boxes, shapes, charts, tables, and speaker notes. Generated material can include process flows, strategic matrices, MECE decompositions, and financial tables built as PowerPoint shapes. Every plan supports export to PPTX and PDF. Brightdeck lists consulting, strategy, sales, fundraising, founder, and internal communications as intended workflows. It offers a hosted MCP server with 11 tools for compatible clients including Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor; account authorization uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. Zapier can create presentations, export them, share them by email, and trigger or find presentations. Zapier export links expire after 60 minutes. The free plan includes 400 credits once and allows up to 10 slides per deck. Paid plans start with Plus at $8 a month, billed annually, with 1,000 credits per month and a 15-slide limit. Brightdeck is based in California, United States.
