1In one sentence
Claude Design makes slide decks and single-page documents that are designed, not just typed, and exports them to PowerPoint or PDF.
2New words
- Deck — a set of slides for a talk or a pitch. "Pitch deck" is the version you show investors or clients.
- One-pager — a single designed page that explains one thing: a service, an offer, an event.
- Export — saving the design as a file for another program: PPTX for PowerPoint, PDF for printing and sending.
3Why you would want it
A deck made in chat (Chapter 1.8) is correct; a deck made in Design is also good-looking: real layouts, your design system's colors, images placed where they belong. For anything you will present or send to a client, this is the one to use.

(paid plans)
- Write the content first, in chat or in a document: the six points you want to make.
- In Design, click Slides under "Make something new". Choose your design system.
- Paste the points and type: A 6-slide deck introducing my bakery to a café that might stock our bread: one idea per slide, big headline, one supporting line, a photo area.
- Click into any slide and edit a word; then ask Claude for a change. Export as PPTX.
5What you will see
[Picture pending: a six-slide deck on the canvas and the export menu.] Six artboards on the canvas, one per slide, in your colors. You can edit text directly on a slide, drop in a photo, or ask for a change across all slides ("make every headline two words shorter"). Export gives PowerPoint, PDF, HTML or Canva, so the file goes wherever the meeting is.
6Watch out
- Content first, design second. A deck built from a vague brief looks nice and says nothing.
- Check every slide once after export. Fonts can shift slightly when PowerPoint opens the file.
7Go further
Make a one-pager from the same content: Turn this into a single page I can print and leave with the café. Chapter 3.4 is for things people click rather than read.
