Decksmade

The story

Decksmade turns a report, a spreadsheet or an old deck into a designed presentation. You drop in a PDF, PowerPoint, Word, Excel or CSV file of up to 50 MB, or paste a table, and every number on a slide comes from your file. It is part of Look Good Tools.

Who it is for. People who have to turn data into a deck: board and investor updates, research readouts, monthly KPI reviews, quarterly business reviews and investor pitches. There is also a "make my deck look good" mode that keeps your story and slides and redoes the look and the charts.

How it works in practice. Five steps: drop, check the numbers, shape the story, make, share. The check step shows what was read from your file, with tables you can drop and units you can correct, before anything is built. You then shape the slide order, titles and layouts and press Make. You get a web deck you can share by link and a PDF, and on paid plans an editable PowerPoint file with native charts. When it is done it says "Looks good" or "Nearly there: N slides need a look".

What makes it different. Anthropic's Claude picks the layouts, writes the slide titles and chooses which data goes where, but it does not write figures. A figure in its text is a reference to a cell or a passage in your file, and the build rejects any figure it typed itself, other than years and period labels. Every slide carries a source line, such as a spreadsheet cell or a PDF page and table.

Where it stands now. Live. The first deck needs no account: one deck a month, kept for 7 days, with the house theme and a small "Made with Decksmade" mark. Nothing is charged until you press Make. Using your own brand, read from your website or a PowerPoint template, comes with Look Good Tools Pro at £29 a month including VAT.

What it deliberately does not do. It does not let the model make up numbers. Files are read in an isolated sandbox with no network, decks made without an account are deleted after 7 days, and share links are not indexed by search engines.
