Hey Product Hunt 👋

We’re Morten and Adam, co-founders of FlashDocs - and today we’re launching the slide export API we always wanted but could never find.

🚧 The Problem

If your product generates insights, summaries, or analysis - and your users want to export that into a custom branded slide deck - you’ve probably faced this mess:

  • Wrestling with XML and Google Slides API

  • Dealing with inconsistent branding and templates

  • Python or .js libraries without export to pptx or Google Slides

  • Or worse… having your users manually copy-paste into a deck

We hit these pain points again and again - at McKinsey, Google, and in our last startup. So we decided to fix it.

✅ The Solution

With a single API call, you can go from Markdown, JSON, or LLM output → into fully branded PowerPoint or Google Slides decks.

⚙️ Key Features

  • One API for both .pptx and Google Slides

  • Upload your own custom templates and branding

  • Use Markdown-to-Slides for LLMs & agent

  • Guaranteed brand safety (fonts, colors, layouts – locked in)

  • Automate tables, charts, images, and rich content

💡 Who’s using it

  • AI agents that auto-create meeting recaps & next-step decks

  • Revenue & GTM platforms that creates business cases & QBRs

  • Internal tools generating decks from structured data

  • SaaS apps offering “Export as slides” in days, not months

🎥 Demo

We made a short explainer video here: https://youtu.be/cHBrvp9E4OQ

(Or just test it live - you can get your API key for free.)

Huge thanks to the PH team and to @fmerian for supporting our launch. We’re here all day answering questions, fixing bugs, and cheering on other launches.

  • What formats or integrations should we build next?

  • Want help building a quick POC? Just ask.

Here’s our team, who made this launch happen (👋 from NYC)

@fmerian  @mortenatoren  @adamkhakhar This is a crazy use case! We've faced this with B2B customers a lot. It might be a good idea to build clients around the API for easy integration in different technologies

At last! My personal nightmare might be gone with the FlashDocs API.
Just imagine: I generate a structure with an LLM, and then send it to the FlashDocs API to get the fully build Google Slides deck. Awesome!

Awesome product. I can see us using this to allow our users to export Jo's AI-powered user research reports as slides that can be shared with their teams. This is a roadmap item that I might have to look at FlashDocs for! Good luck on the launch.

Congrats on the launch! 🎉 FlashDocs sounds like a brilliant solution for automating presentations—definitely filling a gap many didn’t realize needed fixing. I’m curious, how do you see this evolving beyond just slide generation?

Excited to see where you take this—already feels like one of those tools that’ll quietly become indispensable. Best of luck with the rollout!
