The format AI is actually good at

Stop asking for PowerPoint. Ask any AI for print-ready HTML, drop it back into unPaper, and save a flawless 16:9 PDF.

02 The idea
Why HTML

AI edits text far more reliably than it edits .pptx. So make slides out of text, then let the browser print them.

02 / 44
03 Part one
Part one

Why slides should start as HTML

The one decision that makes everything after it dependable.

03 / 44
04 How it works
1

Start from this template

Copy the starter prompt; these rules travel inside the file.

2

Describe your content to any AI

Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini fills the slides and keeps the print CSS intact.

3

Paste it back & save PDF

Preview here, then Cmd/Ctrl+P → Save as PDF. One slide, one page.

04 / 44
05 Two jobs

One file does two jobs at once

A web page

Opens in any browser, scrolls or presents, and prints to a flawless 16:9 PDF — no app required.

A PowerPoint

Drop it into unPaper and every block becomes a native, editable object: text, tables, charts, shapes.

05 / 44
06 What you get
Self-contained

One file, no CDNs

Fonts, styles and script are inline. It prints the same offline, forever.

Fits the page

Never overflows

A fixed 16:9 canvas auto-fits content and flags any slide that runs long.

Yours to remix

A starting point

Recolour, add a logo and rewrite with your own AI. The format is solved.

06 / 44
07 The numbers

Adoption tripled once the rules moved inside the file

Decks generated per week, by quarter.

120 210 340 520 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4

Q4 alone beat the first three quarters put together.

Why

The rules moved into the file, so a deck stopped needing someone to police it.

12 The shape of it

Icons and arrows convert as editable shapes

Draw them inline; they arrive in PowerPoint as native vectors you can recolour and move.

A stroked icon

Becomes an outlined freeform that keeps your accent colour.

A filled icon

Becomes a solid native shape — no flat picture, fully editable.

A simple diagram

Rectangles and lines map straight onto PowerPoint shapes.

Key takeaway

The format was the bottleneck, not the ideas. Solve the format once and every deck after it gets easier.

21 The plan

Four moves, one screen

Move 1

Pick the template

Choose a look and depth that fit the audience.

Move 2

Brief your AI

Paste the prompt into the assistant you already use.

Move 3

Paste it back

unPaper previews the deck and checks it prints.

Move 4

Ship it

Save the PDF, or convert to an editable PowerPoint.

A 2×2 of cards holds four parallel points; use a flow when they are sequential.

21 / 44
22 Roadmap

From idea to shipped, in four moves

Week 1

Frame

Agree the question and the audience.

Week 2

Draft

Write it in HTML with your own AI.

Week 3

Convert

One click to an editable PowerPoint.

Week 4

Ship

Polish in the tool you already know.

22 / 44
23 Shift

What changes, in one view

Before

Rebuilt by hand

Copy a screenshot, square up the boxes, lose an afternoon — and the layout still drifts.

After

Converts in a click

The exact layout arrives as native, editable objects. You spend the time on the message.

23 / 44
24 Trade-offs

What to keep, what to drop

Keep

  • One self-contained file
  • Native, editable output
  • Nothing leaves your laptop

Drop

  • Screenshot round-trips
  • Layouts that reflow
  • Uploading confidential decks

Part three

What the format buys you

One file, start to finish

The rules, the styles and the content travel together — nothing to attach, nothing to fetch.

Prints exactly as drawn

A fixed 1280×720 page and a real @page rule, so the PDF is the slide and not an approximation of it.

Converts to editable PowerPoint

Shapes stay shapes and text stays text — you can move a box in the meeting, not just look at it.

28 Where the time goes

A refund takes nine days, and seven of them are waiting

Two queues hold the whole process. The dashed line is the five-day promise.

Four tiers, one shared foundation

01

What customers touch

Everything a person opens, and nothing that stores.

02

The API edge

One gateway: auth, rate limits, and every audit record.

Nine services, each owning its own store.

One warehouse every tier reads from, and nothing writes around.

40 The rules

Four rules decide whether a deck converts cleanly

01

Fixed geometry, never reflow

Every slide is 1280×720. Nothing depends on the viewport, so print and conversion agree.

02

Draw, do not embed

Shapes are inline SVG. A picture converts as a picture; a path converts as an editable shape.

03

Paint the box, not the chip

A block with its own background keeps its words. An inline chip inside a filled box loses them.

04

Nothing from the network

No external font, script or image. The file is the whole deck, offline and unchanged.
