Design Kits

Design kits are how the v2 API controls the visual style of a generated presentation. A design kit bundles the colors, fonts, layouts and overall look that SlideSpeak applies when it generates your slides.

When you call Generate a Presentation, pass a kit’s id as settings.design_kit_id. SlideSpeak then renders every generated slide using that kit’s styling. If you omit it, SlideSpeak chooses an automatic AI design instead.

{
"prompt": "Quarterly business review",
"settings": { "design_kit_id": "dk_acme" }
}

List the design kits available to your API key with the List Design Kits endpoint. Each kit has:

  • an id — the value you pass as settings.design_kit_id
  • a human-readable name
  • optional preview_urls — thumbnail images of the kit’s style

If you’ve worked with presentation templates before, design kits play the same role — pick one that matches your brand and pass its id at generation time. If you don’t, SlideSpeak chooses an automatic AI design for you.
