# Create a Slide Deck from Text

Turn written prompts into a structured deck with slide headlines, bullets, and speaker notes.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.autocontentapi.com/content/Create" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "outputType": "slide_deck",
    "resources": [
      { "type": "text", "content": "Internal memo on the new analytics rollout, timeline, and launch messaging." }
    ],
    "text": "Build a 10-slide deck with an executive summary, timeline, risks, and next steps.",
    "duration": "default",
    "slideDeckFormat": "detailed"
  }'
```

**Tips**

* Use `duration` to control depth: `short` for quick briefings, `long` for full project reviews.
* `slideDeckFormat` of `detailed` includes bullets per slide; switch to `presenter` for leaner slides plus speaking notes.
