Practical notes on AI decks

Claude Code, Codex, MCP, HTML slides, and the parts of AI presentation workflows that still need taste.

• Create a Presentation with Claude Code: Full Workflow

  A practical Claude Code presentation workflow: connect Variant over MCP, draft a real deck, preview slides, make hand edits, and export the result.

  A technical case for HTML as the source format for AI-generated slides: precise edits, accessibility, diffs, search, exports, and where images still fit.

• Vibe Code Your PowerPoints with HTML Slides

  A practical PowerPoint alternative for AI-generated decks: use HTML/CSS as the editable source, let agents draft slides, then export PPTX when needed.

• Export AI-Generated Slides as One HTML File

  How single-file HTML export works for AI-generated slides, what gets embedded, how to test offline, where to host it, and what tradeoffs to expect.

• Tome Alternative for Agent-Editable Presentations

  A Tome alternative comparison for teams that need AI-assisted storytelling plus editable HTML/CSS slides, MCP agent edits, and portable exports.

  Design an MCP presentation workflow agents can safely edit: stable slide IDs, readable HTML/CSS source, previews, scoped edits, exports, and rollback.

• Reveal.js Alternative for Visual HTML Slide Editing

  A Reveal.js alternative comparison for people who want HTML-native slides plus visual editing, exports, version history, and MCP agent workflows.

• How to Make a Slide Deck with Claude Code

  A practical walkthrough for building a slide deck with Claude Code over MCP using Variant: prompt to draft, preview, hand edit, and export to HTML, PDF, or PPTX.

• What Is an MCP Server for Presentations?

  An MCP presentation server lets AI coding agents build, edit, preview, and export slide decks through the Model Context Protocol. Here's how it works, with Variant as the concrete example.
