Product Introduction

1. Snapdeck for Figma is a Figma-native AI tool that transforms design files into presentation slides by processing user-input topics or talking points. It generates fully styled, interactive slides directly within the Figma canvas, eliminating the need for external presentation software. The tool integrates seamlessly with Figma’s interface, enabling real-time customization of AI-generated content.
2. The core value lies in its ability to automate slide creation while maintaining design consistency, reducing manual effort by 90%. By operating entirely within Figma, it removes context-switching between design and presentation tools, ensuring a unified workflow. Users retain full control over editing and theming, making it adaptable to brand guidelines or personal preferences.

Main Features

1. AI-Powered Slide Generation: Input a topic or bullet points, and Snapdeck AI generates structured slides with layouts, typography, and visuals in seconds. The AI analyzes Figma components to align slides with existing design systems. Users can regenerate variations or refine outputs using natural language prompts.
2. Charts and Diagram Automation: Converts raw data or Figma frames into editable charts (bar, pie, line) and diagrams without manual formatting. The AI detects data patterns and applies responsive scaling, with options to toggle between 2D/3D views. Exports retain vector editing capabilities in Figma.
3. Theme Switching: Instantly apply dark or light mode themes to entire presentations with one click. Themes include adaptive color palettes, contrast ratios, and typography adjustments. Custom themes can be saved as Figma styles for reuse.
4. Figma-Native Editing: All AI-generated slides are fully editable using Figma’s native tools (e.g., Auto Layout, Constraints). Users can replace placeholders with brand assets, adjust spacing, or override AI styling without breaking the layout.

Problems Solved

1. Manual Slide Creation: Eliminates hours spent designing slides from scratch by automating layout structuring, content placement, and styling. Designers no longer need to duplicate frames or manually align elements.
2. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Targets Figma users (UI/UX designers, product managers, marketers) who require rapid presentation drafts for reviews, pitches, or reports. Teams can maintain version control within a single Figma file.
3. Complex Data Visualization: Simplifies the translation of Figma-based wireframes or data tables into presentation-ready charts. Reduces errors in manual data entry or misformatted diagrams.

Unique Advantages

1. Deep Figma Integration: Unlike standalone AI presentation tools (e.g., Beautiful.ai), Snapdeck operates natively within Figma, leveraging existing components and styles. No plugins or external exports are required.
2. Upcoming AI Research Assistant: A future feature will auto-generate research-backed content for slides by scraping credible sources, reducing time spent on manual data gathering.
3. JavaScript Framework Support (Beta): Enables interactive prototypes by embedding React/Vue components into slides, a feature absent in competitors. Users can demo clickable prototypes during presentations without leaving Figma.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How does Snapdeck integrate with Figma? Snapdeck runs as a Figma plugin, accessing your current project files to generate slides using existing design components. All outputs are saved as Figma frames, editable with standard tools.
2. What are the limitations of the free plan? The free plan allows 5 slides per day, 3 prebuilt themes, and basic export formats (PNG, PDF). Advanced features like unlimited slides, custom themes, and JavaScript interactivity require the Pro plan.
3. Does Snapdeck support collaborative editing? Yes, all AI-generated slides are compatible with Figma’s real-time collaboration. Multiple users can edit slides simultaneously, with changes synced automatically.
4. Can I use custom fonts or color palettes? Yes, Snapdeck detects your Figma styles (colors, text styles, effects) and applies them to generated slides. Users can override AI suggestions with brand-specific assets.
5. When will cross-platform support launch? The Notion and Chrome extensions are slated for Q4 2024, allowing slide generation from non-Figma content. Existing users will receive early access via beta testing.
