How Edit Agent works

When you ask Edit Agent to add a slide, it can search the Templafy Library for matching slides before creating a new one. If no suitable slide is available, and you have access to presentation layouts, Edit Agent can generate a new slide that follows your organization's approved layouts.

When you ask Edit Agent to create a new slide from an existing slide, it can use the existing slide content as context and apply it to an approved layout. The original slide remains in the presentation unless you remove it or ask Edit Agent to change it.

When you ask Edit Agent to edit a slide, it reviews the relevant slide content before making changes. If your request is unclear, Edit Agent can ask follow-up questions before continuing.

When you upload an image, Edit Agent can use it as visual context. For example, it can use a hand-drawn sketch or screenshot as a reference for the structure of a new slide.

When you ask for a new presentation, Edit Agent confirms that you want to start a new presentation rather than add slides to the one you have open. The new presentation opens in a new window so you can continue from there.
