# Quickstart: complete deck

Connect your client first — see [Authentication](/perceptis-mcp-server/authentication.md) and the [single-slide quickstart](/perceptis-mcp-server/quickstart-slide.md) for setup steps.

## Generate a deck

Ask your AI client:

> "Create a 10-slide investor deck about our AI product"

The assistant calls `generate_deck`, which runs in three phases:

1. **Storyline** — generates the outline (\~2 min).
2. **Render** — renders each slide in parallel (\~30 s per slide; 5–10 min for a typical 10-slide deck).
3. **Export** — merges the slides into a single `.pptx` and shows you a download link (\~1 min).

A typical 10-slide deck completes in **5–15 minutes** end-to-end. Credits are charged after the storyline phase, based on the final slide count.

## Edit a slide in the deck

Once the deck is ready:

> "Update slide 3 to focus on the EMEA market"

The assistant edits only that slide.
