What This Tool Does

Build stunning presentations without ever opening a browser. Create slide decks from scratch, add text, images, tables, and shapes, apply custom styles, fill templates with dynamic data, and generate slide thumbnails — all from your workflow. Perfect for automating reports, pitch decks, and client deliverables.

Product Instructions

Google Slides

Create, edit, and manage Google Slides presentations -- add slides, text, images, tables, shapes, apply styles, fill templates, and generate thumbnails.

Overview

This tool provides full access to the Google Slides API v1. You can create new presentations, add and arrange slides, insert text boxes, images, tables, and shapes, style text and shapes, perform template merges using placeholder tags, generate slide thumbnails, and execute raw batchUpdate requests for advanced operations. All position and size values use inches for convenience (internally converted to EMU at 914,400 EMU per inch).

Workflows

Template Merge Workflow

Fill a template presentation with dynamic data:

1. Create or identify a template presentation containing {{tag}} placeholders in text and shapes
2. Copy the template using the Google Drive tool (copy_file action) to preserve the original
3. Use replace_all_text for each text placeholder (e.g. {{customer_name}} to Acme Corp)
4. Use replace_all_shapes_with_image for each image placeholder (e.g. {{logo}} to an image URL)
5. The original template remains untouched

Build a Presentation from Scratch

1. create_presentation with a title
2. add_slide with desired layouts for each section
3. add_text_box, add_image, add_table, or add_shape to populate each slide
4. update_text_style and update_shape_properties to apply branding
5. get_slide_thumbnail to preview any slide

Notes

• Positions and sizes use inches. The API internally converts to EMU (914,400 EMU = 1 inch, 12,700 EMU = 1 point)
• Images must be publicly accessible URLs
• All batchUpdate-based actions are atomic -- if one operation in the batch fails, none are applied
• Object IDs are auto-generated if not provided. Use custom IDs (via object_id_value) when you need to reference elements in subsequent calls within the same session
• The add_shape action defaults to RECTANGLE shape type if shape_type is not specified (not TEXT_BOX -- use add_text_box for text boxes)
• Search results from search_presentations only return Google Slides files (filtered by MIME type)
• Thumbnail URLs from get_slide_thumbnail expire after approximately 30 minutes
