Output Formats
PDF (Strongly Recommended)
CellCog generates presentations best in PDF format.
Why PDF?
- AI has full creative control over layout and design
- Perfect rendering across all devices
- Professional, polished results every time
- Supports images, charts, complex layouts without compromise
If your human requests PPTX or DOCX:
- Recommend PDF first: "CellCog produces significantly better results in PDF format—professional quality with perfect layouts. Would PDF work for your needs?"
- If they insist on PPTX: Be transparent that results will be noticeably lower quality (~30-40% as good as PDF). CellCog can attempt it, but PPTX/DOCX formats weren't designed for AI generation.
- Suggest workflow: Generate PDF, then use external tools to convert if editable format is essential.
| Format | Quality | Use Case |
|---|
| PDF | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent | Default choice for all presentations |
| Interactive HTML | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great | Web-based presentations, internal tools |
| PPTX | ⭐⭐ Limited | Only when editing in PowerPoint is absolutely required |
Why This Matters
PPTX and DOCX formats were designed for humans to manually build documents with complex editing features. AI excels at a different paradigm: generating complete, beautiful output directly. PDF captures AI's full creative capability; PPTX constrains it.
This isn't a limitation—it's CellCog using the right tool for AI-generated content.
Chat Mode for Presentations
| Scenario | Recommended Mode |
|---|
| Standard decks, educational slides, image slideshows, training materials | "agent" |
| Investor pitch decks, board presentations, keynotes requiring narrative craft | "agent team" |
Use "agent" for most presentations. Standard business decks, training materials, and informational slides execute well in agent mode.
Use "agent team" for high-stakes presentations where narrative flow, persuasion, and multi-angle thinking matter—investor pitches, board decks, conference keynotes where every slide needs to build a compelling story.

Tips for Better Presentations
-
Specify slide count: "10-12 slides" helps scope appropriately. Pitch decks are typically 10-15 slides. Training can be 20-30.
-
List the slides you want: Even a rough outline helps. "Include: Problem, Solution, Market, Team, Ask."
-
Provide key content: Actual metrics, quotes, and facts make better slides than placeholders.
-
Design direction: "Minimal and modern", "Corporate professional", "Bold and colorful", specific colors.
-
Mention the audience: "For investors", "For technical team", "For executives" changes tone and detail level.
-
Specify format: "PPTX for editing" or "PDF for sharing."
