Quick Start
Create your first slide deck with DexCode and an AI agent in under 5 minutes.
Create Your First Deck
Once DexCode is installed and the dev server is running, open your AI coding agent and start prompting.
Using Claude Code
$ claude
> Create a 5-slide pitch deck for a developer tool called "FastAPI Dashboard".
Include a cover slide, problem statement, solution overview, features, and CTA.
Put it in a new deck directory at decks/fastapi-dashboard.Claude Code will generate MDX files in the deck's directory along with a deck.config.ts. As each file is saved, the browser preview updates instantly.
Navigate to http://localhost:3000/fastapi-dashboard to view your deck.
Using Other Agents
DexCode works with any agent that can edit files:
$ codex "Create a 5-slide pitch deck in the DexCode project at decks/my-deck"Refine Your Slides
After the initial draft, refine individual slides with follow-up prompts:
> Make the cover slide headline more concise
> Add a bar chart to slide 3 showing user growth
> Fix spacing on slide 4Parallel Editing
For faster iteration, edit multiple slides simultaneously:
> Update slides 2, 3, and 5 in parallel:
- Slide 2: tighten the problem statement
- Slide 3: add a comparison table
- Slide 5: make the CTA more compellingThe agent will spawn subagents to edit each slide concurrently.
