Hey there, I'm Anders, I'm one of the three co-founders at SlideHub and today I'll take you through our product updates for March 2026 We have four different things to present this month One, we have the introduction of a history feature for AI Text-to-Slide including a number of improvements for that feature Then we have the introduction of the rich text placeholders and drop-down placeholders for our automation suite Then we're introducing a way to integrate SlideHub into AI tools using what's called an MCP server Then we are also introducing the first publicly facing API functionality where you can integrate other applications into SlideHub All right, first thing, the Text-to-Slide history and improvements For those of you who haven't seen the Text-to-Slide feature before You'll find it in the SlideHub task page In the SlideHub for PowerPoint In this case, I am on this fake company called Acme Logistics And I'll just demonstrate the feature really quickly You can either use a fully detailed text input where you fully describe everything that needs to be in the slide Or you can use more of a prompt-like approach where the system will then use the information in the library or web search to build the slides into your brand template Let's use the prompt-based approach I'll do something like Trade, that's long, about an hour, services, and more bullet points Cool The first thing this system does is that it checks for whether we already have slides on this topic You can see there's actually quite a few But for the purpose of this, I will generate new slides as set I'll use the internal library I want the slide layout to match or the content to match whatever layout I choose There we go It just prepares the content based on what it can find in the system and then they'll find the potential layout I'll pick a few different ones Like this, this, and maybe this one and maybe something with a picture too and then it'll start generating So the way it works is I can actually generate these multiple slides at the same time I can either set a look at them being developed or I can actually put them in the background and I can do my stuff while the slides are being generated I can also come back and look at the progress as the slide final as they get automatically inserted to your presentation in whatever position you are in So, see now 2.3, 3 comes in You can look at them Here's the services They have an image You can see the reference points that has been used here Here's another take It introduced my beautiful gradient icons in here And here's another one The last one is still being wrapped up and then I can decide which one I want to use or proceed as I want to see if it is Yes, the last one coming in in a second Here, with some more different images on it Cool, and you can see it adjusted the amount of text to the layout that I chose in this given case Alright, so I can then see Oh, this looks pretty good Good job Okay, cool So all this is not that new if you've been using SlideHub over the last couple of months What's new is that you now have this history feature inside of SlideHub So you can go in and see the thing that I just created in here and you can say, hey, I actually want to insert my things again If you want to see, you can also reuse the prompt Or you can go in and say, hey, I want to look at the more detailed view You can see the whole thing Or you can also see what are the slides that were suggested as alternatives in here as well You can see the same thing here If you like, you can also reuse the prompt from here Or we can generate it in here For those of you with Manager Access, you might wonder who can see what And that's something you can change in the AI settings in here In the settings in the bottom here You can determine whether the statistics should be available publicly What that basically means is that managers in the account can go into the statistics page here And they can see the generated slides So if they're turned on to public, this thing gets actually shown If it's not shown as public Then only the person who creates the slides can see it In terms of the history, you can also decide how long things are stored for So in this case, the data folder is like one year But you can also complete the turn of the history If you want everything to be deleted within 10 minutes of being completed So that's the AI history The next thing I wanted to go through is the rich text placeholders And drop-down placeholders And how they can be used for customizing slides In a way where end users have more options for how they fill out the slides using this placeholder concept So for this purpose I'll start out with something really, really basic This simple slide here I'll convert it into a project plan template So let's call it project So I want to make this into placeholders So the first thing I'll do is that I'll use the new rich text placeholders here So I'll do a new placeholder called situation Project And To get the formatting right I'll just do this little trick here And then I'll do something here I'll do something here I'll do something here And here I'll do the main goal Slide up lead Cool So for these two things I want rich text Where people can write out like bullet points about the situation and provocation For the goal I want just a simple text box And for the lead I want a drop-down option to use these new different layout objects Also I want to disconnect the slide It's a very different slide now Okay Cool So I'll add the slide up It'll be checked for presented placeholders You can see okay cool It has some new ones here And then I'll use this one to use the new rich text placeholders I'll go in Rich text And then this will say Right At least Three bullets About the complications And And And I'll do some easy here And also make it rich text Right Three Words More And I'll do some easy here Now I'll delete here I'll say I'll use the new Dropdown options Click drop down And say That it can be Honest That's me Or Owners From other co-farmers Cool Cool Cool And I have my three new placeholders Then I also have some existing project placeholders And informed of the company in the project goal Cool I'll link this up And here I'll just call it example for video for now Let's put it in that category Good And see The slide is being added to the library It's being labeled in the background If I go in here You can see the slide is actually already Cool Cool Alright Now I can then as an end user use the slide So I'll be prompted for the different placeholders The company name Let's call that CoolCorp As And then I'll do the Complication You can see that the The three bullets are here The description I'm putting in with the three bullets Okay Let's do something like Okay Complication One is Lack of resources Lack of time Lack of focus And knowledge And Another I have lots of words on Practical Goal Is to Grow Business By Present In The situation is We Have To Do this We Are busy Will Be fun Let's Go Lead will be All it So then it sits inside Put in the things we provided Rich text items Goal And as it comes in So in this way you can You can be able to fail the simple project form But you can also use it for a million different things Sort of based on your You know Own ideas and work and so forth But you sort of ensure that everything stays You know on brand and in place And you kind of help the users to do things right Cool I hope you find this helpful Next I will go through the MCP server integrations And how you can integrate SlideHub directly into tools such as Claude or ChatGP In this video I will take you through our MCP functionality In this case I am a manager on the account called Agma Logistics Which is our made up company account for testing purposes When I go to the admin side You will see that I have now an API and MCP functionality over here It includes a bit of an introduction For those who are not familiar with MCPs The idea with the MCP is that It gives various AI tools the ability to use certain functionality from SlideHub directly from those AI tools As I will show you in this video In this overview you can see that the MCP connector is enabled in the account I can go further in and specify who from the organization should use it So I can limit it completely or I can make it only for administrators I also have a lot to see who uses what in the system In terms of the experience I will show you the Claude experience and the ChatGP So the idea is that in Claude you have a section over here called connectors Connectors is the Claude terminology for MCP server integrations In here you will soon be able to find SlideHub in the store Until then what you can do is you can add it as a separate connector I can add it to SlideHub and put in this URL here And then I will just click in SlideHub You click add, I have already done this I have it sitting here I have also connected already If I want to connect to it again just to show The idea is that you click the connection here You click connect and then what you will see is that It basically takes me over to SlideHub And it uses my SlideHub credential login To connect with the Claude account And then you can see now it sits in here To make things a bit more efficient I will just allow all the tools to be used here So it doesn't ask me throughout the process That is of course for you to decide Okay Okay Inside Claude We have basically built or enabled number of functionality from SlideHub That can be enabled, that can be called via Claude So an example could be the ability to find slides So find slides about our services So slideHub You don't necessarily need to write using SlideHub It just increases the odds that it understands what you want So that's what you want So in this case I am working with this ECMEL Logistics company And I have different stuff about services So you come back here you can see it searched the library And it provided some results here I can then either click view Which takes me to the SlideHub interface I can also download the slides directly Here And I get the slide So It's a very efficient way to sort of integrate the search experience from SlideHub directly into Claude In addition to the ability to find slides you can also say something like Combined Combined The most important Three slides Above Into a single presentation So you can basically Take those slides and combine them for you So you don't have to go to SlideHub and find them and reselect them and so on I said use this combine tool So then going in and do that And you can see now it has the combined presentation And I can download it again and so forth In ChatGP things works a little bit different than Claude In order to use the tool you need to click more here And then you need to find the tool on your list In addition to doing the things we showed before You can also generate slides directly So you could do something like Generate slide About the recent history of PowerPoint The tool will then generate the slide And make it available for download Through the application It automatically uses the same settings as you have on the slide Of account in terms of using the brand and the template and everything like that If you're interested you can look at the tool call here to see exactly what does it actually do Behind the scenes and gives you like a detail about How it communicates with the slide of application In the background you can see here You can go down here and see the much more details about It's getting the status of the process and so forth And you can now go down here and download the slide Or watch the preview if you want So that's basically the idea Beautiful Cool That's the thing If you have any questions about the MCP setup and so forth Feel free to reach out at any point And also we have submitted slide hub for both chat.dgp and the Claude connector store So this should soon become available for a quick installation Otherwise you can install it as I showed previously Thanks a lot for your time Then last but not least I'll go through the introduction to our API integrations And how you can integrate slide hub into a lot of other tools you might have out there This is still a beta feature but something that we plan to continue building out And we'd love to be in dialogue with some of you related how we can make this even more helpful In this video I'll take you through the slide hub API How to enable it and how to get the initial tests going with it Alright, so I am in this case on Agme Logistics which is a fake testing account I am in the manager view And I want to the API slash MCP section here In this view I have an overview of both the MCP and the API connectors access on the account You can see in this case I have access to both items I have been able to open my account by the slide hub of the first message system By default the API connectors is an enterprise feature If you don't have access to it and want to use it Reach out to your slide hub account manager or customer success member And discuss whether that might be an option Since I have access to the API I'll find a section down here called API settings So in this case it is enabled on my account as something I can use But it's actually not enabled by me as the account manager So I'll do that now And I can then decide who should use it So for this purpose, let's just say hello everybody can You can see first time I say this I get the API key and the API secret This is very important that you copy these over once you see them Because you're not going to see them again So I'm going to copy it into the key into my post main application here Let's see with the secret Basically the way the slide hub API works is that it imitates a given user So I will get the personal credential of my user here And use those to access the API So I'll go to my profile API keys You can see there's nothing in here yet So I'll generate API keys It does the same thing I'll copy the API keys And place it in under the user key information here Now I'll click save So now I actually have the things I need from the slide hub platform For the documentation of the API I can go here to this particular URL Ppt, the slide table IO, the dash API, dash docs And in here you'll see an introduction to the concept You'll have an overview of both the mtp server And the authentication for that The rest API and so forth You can see all the input stuff we currently have listed here This list is expected to grow As we add more API facing functionality If you have a specific API input that you need Don't hesitate to reach out We can add them fairly quickly So just to kind of illustrate the basics of it So I need to use the input here You can see that's the endpoint It's also included the API here But I'll just show this in this Postman tool For validating APIs So I'm basically taking the URL here This one Put in the validate Validate To get call I have the company key The secret and user And then click send And then I get a confirmation back saying success You have access And it tells me who this user are What company ID What my user ID And so forth If our post typesment gets incorrect here I'll get an exit denied I'm doing this So this is the basic concept of interacting with the API We have a documentation of each of the different endpoints So if I for example want to do a text search here I'm going to get some information out of the library Using the AI text search I can do another call here So just save this one I think first we can just clone this one Duplicate We'll call this one AI search So we'll do the Search library We'll have the same headers here This is post call We'll make it post call In the body We want to do the Formback Then we'll pass in So text saying something like Tell me about our services And text key And we can just see Yeah This one takes a bit longer time You can see I then get a nicely formatted HTML answer back here I can use for whatever I want to use on my other side You also get a list of all the different assets that are used for informing this As part of the response Which you can pull it into any other tool you might have for your needs So that's the basic concept of it For slide generation purposes You have a separate section here That tells you about those steps One of the key things is that When you create the first slide generation here It responds back with a batch And there is a specific ID here That you can then use to get the status with You might need to be polling it If you Since the slide generation can take a bit of time You might need to be hitting the API a few times Before you get the download Or you can use to download your slides That's the API As it says here We are doing changes to the API at the moment On an ongoing basis If you are planning and building production systems towards this setup Reach out to us directly We will make sure that We communicate any potential breaking changes before we go live So you can stay up to date on these things Alright, thanks a lot for watching Alright, that was all for today I hope you find these new things helpful We have a lot more things coming in the coming months So I look forward to seeing some of you next time in these updates And wishing you a great month
