# 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):** ```python 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):** ```python 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. --- ## What Presentations You Can Create ### Pitch Decks Investor and stakeholder presentations: -

Pitch decks are typically 10-15 slides. Training can be 20-30. 2. **List the slides you want**: Even a rough outline helps. "Include: Problem, Solution, Market, Team, Ask." 3. **Provide key content**: Actual metrics, quotes, and facts make better slides than placeholders. 4. **Design direction**: "Minimal and modern", "Corporate professional", "Bold and colorful", specific colors. 5. **Mention the audience**: "For investors", "For technical team", "For executives" changes tone and detail level. 6. **Choose your format**: PDF is the default for polished output. Request PPTX when your team needs to edit or customize the slides. --- ## If CellCog is not installed Run `/cellcog-setup` (or `/cellcog:cellcog-setup` depending on your tool) to install and authenticate. **OpenClaw users:** Run `clawhub install cellcog` instead. **Manual setup:** `pip install -U cellcog` and set `CELLCOG_API_KEY`.
