Slides that explain themselves
VectorDeck is for the decks that have to explain something — an architecture, a process, a result. A handful of animated vector slides tells the story that forty static ones can't.
The problem
Static slides are where ideas go to flatten
Most presentation tools were built for slides. The decks that matter — the ones that explain how something works — need motion, order and focus.
Same story. One slide explains itself.
Static. Everything lands at once and the bullets do the explaining. Where should the reader look first?
VectorDeck. One thing at a time, in the order it happens; the camera lands on what matters. No bullets needed.
How it works
Motion is the medium
A few slides, a whole story
Everything on a VectorDeck slide is a vector with a timeline. That's what makes a five-slide deck carry what used to take forty.
Compared
Where the slide tools stop
PowerPoint, Google Slides and Keynote are great at slides. Gamma, Canva and Napkin are fast at first drafts. VectorDeck is built for the explanation itself.
| Classic slide appsPowerPoint · Google Slides · Keynote | AI deck generatorsGamma · Canva · Napkin | VectorDeckBrowser + Mac | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Built for | General-purpose slides | Fast first drafts and visual docs | Explaining ideas, concepts and processes |
| Motion | Per-object animation panes; diagrams are tedious to build | Templates and transitions — motion isn't the authoring model | Timeline, camera, bound connectors, morph, motion paths |
| What the AI hands back | Text and layout suggestions | Vendor-format layouts you edit inside their app | Editable vector slides — text, data-bound charts and keyframes you keep tweaking |
| Sharing | The app, or a PDF that drops the motion | A link into the vendor's viewer | One self-contained HTML link, crisp at any size; embed it or serve it on your domain |
| AI model & cost | The vendor's bundled assistant, at vendor pricing | Credits or seat tiers on the vendor's model | Bring your own key or run a local model — pay the provider at cost, or nothing |
| Works with coding agents | — | MCP connectors from some vendors | MCP server with 50+ typed tools for Claude, Codex and Cursor, plus an in-editor agent |
| Your file | Proprietary .pptx / .key | Lives in the vendor's cloud | Open SVG inside a bundle you own — download, remix, version |

AI, your way
An agent in the editor — on your key, at cost
Describe the slide you need. The agent calls typed tools against your deck — add a chart, build the diagram, set the camera — and every turn is one undo.
Model Context Protocol
Turn an agent's analysis into a story it can show
VectorDeck for Mac ships an MCP server. Add it to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex or Cursor and the agent that just finished the analysis — or the refactor, or the incident review — can build the deck that explains it: the slides, the animated flow, charts bound to the numbers it computed.
- 50+ typed tools: read, create, animate, connect, check layout, export
- What comes back is editable — open it in the editor and keep going
- Governed by design: confirmation gates, one undo per call, a local audit log
- No model keys involved — your agent brings its own
The MCP server is part of VectorDeck for Mac. In the browser, the in-editor agent uses the same tool catalog.
› Explain the migration we just shipped to the platform team — one deck, five slides, animate the data flow and chart the p95 before/after.
Built 5 slides. The flow builds left to right; the camera lands on the new queue; p95 counts down 410 → 180 ms. Open it:
