Introducing the Presenton API Playground

A faster way to explore, test, and understand Presenton

One of the most common pieces of feedback we heard from developers was simple and honest:

“Presenton looks powerful, but it’s hard to explore everything it can do.”

Presenton supports multiple workflows, formats, and levels of control. Without a guided entry point, it was easy to miss what was possible or how to get started quickly.

That is exactly why we built the Presenton API Playground.

The Playground is designed to let you explore Presenton hands-on, without setup friction, and with real examples you can immediately build on.

Start with real examples

When you open the Playground, you will see a set of ready-made examples such as:

  • Marketing performance reports
  • Research and pitch decks
  • Informational presentations
  • Sales and customized decks

These examples are not demos in isolation. They are fully editable starting points. You can open one, change the content, tweak settings, and regenerate to understand how Presenton behaves.

This alone removes a lot of guesswork for first-time users.

Two ways to generate content

The Playground introduces two clear modes of working, depending on how much control you want.

1. Presentation Content

This is the fastest way to get started.

In this tab, you can simply dump your content and let Presenton handle the structure.

You can provide:

  • Plain text or prompts
  • Files such as CSV, PDF, TXT, DOCX, XLSX, and more

Presenton will:

  • Parse the content
  • Decide the slide structure
  • Generate a complete presentation automatically

This mode is ideal when:

  • You want speed
  • You do not want to think slide by slide
  • You are exploring output quality and structure

2. Slide Specific Content

This tab is for developers and power users who want more control.

Here, you work at a per-slide level.

For each slide, you can:

  • Add specific content
  • Give hints about layout selection
  • Guide how information should be presented

This allows you to:

  • Control structure precisely
  • Mix automation with intent
  • Generate presentations that closely match your mental model

If you care about slide-level accuracy, this is where Presenton really shines.

Visual themes and generation controls

Beyond content, the Playground also exposes Presenton’s generation settings in a very approachable way.

You can visually:

  • Select themes
  • Tune instructions
  • Adjust generation behavior

Some of the key controls include:

  • Content Generation mode
  • Tone (Default)
  • Verbosity (Standard)
  • Image type (Stock)
  • Language selection
  • Export format (PDF)

These settings make it easy to experiment without writing any code.

From exploration to integration

Once you are satisfied with what the Playground is generating for your use case, there is a natural next step.

You can simply copy the generated code using Copy Code and integrate it directly into your application or workflow.

This bridges the gap between:

  • Exploration
  • Prototyping
  • Production usage

No separate learning curve required.

Why this matters

The Presenton Playground exists to solve a real problem:
helping developers and teams understand what Presenton can do by actually using it.

Instead of reading documentation first, you can:

  • See real examples
  • Modify them
  • Learn by doing

If you have ever felt unsure about where to start with Presenton, the Playground is now the best place to begin.

Explore it, break it, regenerate, and build from there.
