Agent Slides Artifact
Agent Slides Artifact
Template-style slide deck artifact with data-slidesDelta streaming, sortable slide list and preview, Markdown export, in-memory versions, and quick prompts — no database persistence.
Use this when you are prototyping an agent that builds slide decks as a sortable, editable artifact streamed through data-slidesDelta parts.

Problems solved
Technical challenges this implementation handles out of the box.
- Stream slide deck JSON with data-slidesDelta UI parts
- Edit and preview slides in a sortable deck UI
- Export deck content as Markdown
- Keep slide versions in memory without database persistence
Use cases
Products and workflows this pattern is designed to support.
- Meeting summary decks from copilots
- Pitch deck drafting chats
- Presentation artifact prototypes
- In-browser slide editors for agents
Compare with
Similar patterns, and when each one is the better fit.
Agent Text ArtifactUse this when an agent should stream Markdown text into a document the user can edit in a rich editor next to the chat, with versions kept in memory.
Agent Sheet ArtifactUse this when a chat agent should stream CSV table updates into a side artifact panel the user can edit as a grid, with versions kept in memory.
Agent Mermaid ArtifactUse this when users iterate on agent-drawn Mermaid diagrams in the browser, keeping versions in memory and exporting the result as SVG or PNG.
Agent Code ArtifactUse this when users and agent tools both edit a runnable Python file beside the chat and you only need in-memory version history.
Setup
Requirements, wiring steps, and what this pattern adds to your project.
Getting started
Pick how you want to pull this pattern in. Then wire env vars and routes the same way.
- 1
Download → Next.js app
Use Download → Next.js app in the preview toolbar. You get a zip scaffold (Pro downloads rewrite preview `/view/.../api/*` paths to `/api/*` automatically).
- 2
Extract the zip and install dependencies
Unzip the archive, then run `pnpm install` (or npm / yarn) in the project folder.
- 3
Fill .env.local
The download includes .env.local placeholders when needed. Add real values for: AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY.
- 4
Customize the agent and tool files
Adapt prompts, tools, and stop conditions in the generated project for your product.
- 5
Run the app and open the pattern route
Run `pnpm dev`, open the setup/checklist page if present, then navigate to the generated pattern route and verify responses.
