Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about Decklet generation, saved history, exports, narration, and Google Drive integration.
What is Decklet?
Decklet turns either a topic prompt or a source URL into a short draft with slide titles, bullets, and speaker script. It is designed to help you get from idea to editable presentation structure quickly rather than replace final review.
Do I need an account to use it?
No. You can generate Decklets in guest mode. Guest Decklets are useful for quick drafting, but they are not saved to account history and cannot be reopened later unless you create them while signed in.
What changes when I sign in?
Signed-in generations can be stored in your saved history. That lets you reopen Decklets later, present them again, share them when your plan allows it, and export them from a stable saved record instead of a one-off guest result.
What is the difference between Free and Pro?
Free is intended for shorter drafts and a smaller voice catalog. Pro unlocks longer Decklet runtimes, more narration voice options, sharing, and export workflows including PowerPoint, PDF, and Google Slides.
How does URL-based Decklet generation work?
When you paste a URL, the server fetches the page, extracts readable text, and uses that material as grounding context for the generated Decklet. The resulting Decklet is still AI-generated, so you should review the output before presenting or publishing it.
Why do I sometimes see a Decklet even when nothing is saved in the database?
Because the app can show a generated Decklet directly from the current request. In guest mode, a Decklet can be rendered from the API response and query parameters without creating a saved database record. Saved history only appears when a signed-in generation is persisted to your account.
Does the service automatically pick images?
It can attach slide images when it finds suitable candidates from the source material or related lookups, but image availability is not guaranteed. Some exports also depend on whether the image URL is publicly reachable from the exporting system.
How does narration work?
Each slide includes a speaker script intended to be read aloud. For supported plans and views, the app can generate narration audio from that script using an AI text-to-speech provider and cache the result for reuse.
How does Google Slides export work?
Google Slides export requires a connected Google account from your profile page. Once connected, Decklet creates the presentation in your own Google Drive using OAuth-backed access rather than an app-owned shared file. Speaker notes are written into the notes pane of each slide.
Is narration audio embedded in every export format?
No. PowerPoint export includes the richest narration workflow in this build. Google Slides export creates the presentation and notes, but it does not currently embed narration audio into the resulting Google Slides file.
Can I delete saved Decklets or disconnect Google Drive later?
Yes. Saved Decklets can be deleted from the editor and history interfaces, and a connected Google Drive account can be disconnected from the profile page. Disconnecting stops future exports from using that Google account until you reconnect it.
Should I trust the generated content without review?
No. Treat every generated Decklet as a draft. Facts, phrasing, structure, citations, and tone should all be reviewed before the material is used in class, at work, or in any public-facing presentation.
