THE AI DECK STUDIO

Make the room go quiet.

Give SmartDeck a sentence — or the pile of notes you already have — and it finds the argument, draws it as funnels, roadmaps, and charts, and hands you the PowerPoint on the way out.

SERIES B · MARCH 2026

Meridian

The freight network that reroutes itself.

WHAT COMES BACK

Every slide already knows what it is for.

Not a prompt reflowed into bullets. A narrative with a shape: assertion titles that carry the case, the layout that fits each idea, diagrams where a diagram is the clearer answer, and speaker notes written the way people actually talk.

One deck, rendered live on this page by the same engine that builds yours. Not screenshots.

A third of every truck on the road is carrying air

Empty miles are the largest cost in freight, and the least defended.

What this means

Every point off that line is $1.3M of margin. It is how $12M of run rate became $41M without a bigger sales team.

The ask

HOW IT WORKS

Three moves, and you are ready.

01BRIEF

Say it in a sentence. Or paste the mess.

A one-line prompt, a rough outline, a wall of meeting notes — it reads for the argument, infers the room you are walking into, and shows you the outline before it builds anything.

02BUILD

It writes, designs, and directs in one pass.

Narrative arc, the words on every slide, one art direction across the whole deck, diagrams and charts that make the claim visible, and speaker notes for the moment you are actually standing there.

03SHIP

Change anything. Leave with the real file.

Rewrite a line in place, swap a layout, ask for a change in plain English. Then export a native PowerPoint — or present straight from the browser.

THE CRAFT

Range, so the deck can fit the room.

One brief, art-directed end to end. The engine picks the design system, then holds it across every slide — so the deck reads as one considered thing instead of a theme dropped on top.
