Straight to the point.

Create the account

Free at /signup — no card. Every account lives in a workspace isolated by Row-Level Security: your decks, brands and keys never mix with another organization's.

Your first deck (no AI, free and unlimited)

In Create, describe the presentation in a paragraph. The built-in analyzer extracts KPIs, detects the tension and the decision being asked, and builds the sliced narrative — cover, hero number with count-up, chart, close. No AI key, no cost, as often as you like.

With your own AI (BYOK)

In Settings → AI keys, connect your key (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google). It's encrypted, unextractable and revocable — and the cost is YOUR cost, at provider rates: Pínax never resells tokens or marks up usage.

Connect your agent (MCP)

The platform key

In Settings → MCP/CLI connection, generate the platform key: with it your agent (Claude, Codex, Gemini) creates sessions and presentations and operates any session in the workspace. Set it up once, revoke whenever you want.

The per-session key

Inside a session, generate a narrow-scope key — it only operates THAT presentation. It's born readable (est_<title>_…) and is the safe way to delegate one deck to an external agent.

The protocol, in three calls

The agent calls schema.describe once (the whole catalog of types, themes and transitions), writes the full deck in one deck.write (validated and repaired by Zod), and fine-tunes with element.update. The session's public code (EST-XXXXX) locates; the token authorizes — a code is never a credential.

Export

Faithful PPTX

The PowerPoint comes out with EDITABLE text and charts (native shapes). Where the effect is 3D (map, isometric bars), a faithful image fallback steps in, clearly flagged. No deck turned into a flattened photo.

PDF and Document

PDF is free on every plan. The Document (leave-behind) is the dense artifact you leave with the decision-maker — with DOCX export on Pro.

Present and close

The stage

Present from the browser: arrows, spacebar or tap. The preflight console shows the current slide, the next one, your notes and your pace.

The phone remote

On stage, tap phone: a QR pairs your phone as the remote — forward, back, and your notes in your hand. No app, no cable, no shared network required.

The public link

Every session has a shareable link (/s/…): anyone with the link can watch, including in self-running mode.

Proposal signing

In a proposal session, the public link's last slide shows the signing QR: the client types their name on their own phone, a cursive signature draws itself, and the PDF comes out stamped. It's evidence of acceptance with an audit trail (date, device) — not a certified digital signature.

Brand and themes

Themes

11 curated themes — from the sober boardroom (Mercúrio, Editorial) to the stage (Cinematográfico, Keynote) — each with its own palette, fonts and type scale.

Your brand overrides everything

Register palette, fonts and logo in Brands: the brand dresses any deck, on screen and in export. Agencies: one brand per client, unlimited on Pro.

Plans and security

Free vs Pro

Free is genuinely free: unlimited no-AI decks + 5 AI generations per month via your agent. Pro ($9/month) unlocks unlimited AI with your key, all 11 themes, WebGL, PPTX, Document/DOCX and unlimited brands. Details at /en/pricing.

The Guard

Workspace isolated by RLS, encrypted unextractable keys, structural injection defense, rate limiting and permanent auditing — security is architecture, not a policy page.
