How the pieces fit together

  1. Lock the story spine with Claude before opening any slide tool.
  2. Generate the deck skeleton in Gamma — structure only, no final visuals.
  3. Specify visual briefs with source and license.
  4. Assemble in Canva with alt text and source notes.
Before you ship

This stack only earns its keep when you actually follow the run order.

  • Beautiful AI slides can hide empty claims.
  • Do not flatten critical text into images.
  • Check color contrast before export — auto-generated palettes often fail WCAG.
