AI decks true to your brand.
And numbers true to your source.

Generic AI stops at "close enough" — on your identity, and on your figures. If that works for you, you don't need us. Effigo is for teams whose decks show up in a suit. Native PowerPoint, on-brand to the pixel and every number traceable.

/ how it works

One deck to learn your brand.
Then just send the story.

Once

Send a deck you love

Effigo builds your brand profile from it: layout system, type, colors, decorative language — and the voice your company writes in.

brand_deck.pptx · the brand
Every deck after

Send the story — and the numbers

Your argument in plain text, the way you'd brief a colleague. Attach your spreadsheet and every figure in the deck is wired to it. No layout instructions, no design brief: the brand profile already knows how you present.

Minutes later

Review and ship

A full deck in your identity, every element native. You make the judgment calls — sometimes that's a few edits, sometimes it's none.

/ the rework tax

Everyone is fast to a draft.
We're fast to your standard.

The draft was never the expensive part — the climb from "close enough" to your identity is. And so is re-checking every number the AI touched. Both shrink as tools improve. Neither reaches zero: for them, your brand is an instruction and your data is text. For us, both are the build system.

Two costs, not one — and Effigo shrinks both to almost nothing.

Same brief, ~25 slides. Gray is the work everyone does; rust is the manual rework. Total assumes a first pass plus three revision rounds.

The work — a designer updates the numbers and re-touches the slides by hand. No tool to fight, no rework tax.

/ native anatomy

Hover the dots. Everything is a real PowerPoint object.

This is a slide the way Effigo builds it. No screenshots, no flattened layers — every element below, including the loose curves in the background, can be selected and edited in PowerPoint.

SO WHAT

Why native matters

Web-first tools flatten slides into images on export. It looks fine — until someone needs to change a word, a number, or a color.

  • 01Edit anything. Text, charts, tables, strokes — all live objects.
  • 02On-brand forever. Your team keeps editing inside the system, not around it.
  • 03Opens clean. Never the "PowerPoint needs to repair this file" pop-up — it reads as if PowerPoint made it.
  • 04Decoration included. The visual layer is geometry, not wallpaper.
/ the number discipline

The AI tells your story.
It doesn't get to invent your numbers.

Generic AI treats your figures as text to imitate — and sometimes improvises them. Effigo treats them as data: wired from your spreadsheet into the deck, computed deterministically, and audited on every build. Anything it can't trace to your file, it flags — before you present it, not after.

Flagged means surfaced for your review — a claim the deck makes that your data doesn't. It never ships silently.

Why provenance matters

The most expensive slide isn't the ugly one — it's the confident one carrying a number your data never said.

  • 01From your file, by construction. Chart series and key figures resolve from your spreadsheet at build time — no model retyping them.
  • 02Deterministic arithmetic. Sums, deltas, growth rates — computed from your data, never estimated by a language model.
  • 03Traceable or flagged. Every figure in the deck either points back to your file — or is flagged for a one-glance review before you ship.
  • 04No spreadsheet? Still disciplined. Story-only decks work fine — the audit simply flags every figure, so you review once instead of hunting.
/ the test nobody passes

Same story. Same brand. Every tool.

Same input to all three — one storytelling file, one brand deck — and every result opened in PowerPoint, with every output number checked against the input. Ships as a published, reproducible test at beta.

* Fair-test note: the web tool reads your PPTX only as a theme — colors, fonts, logo. The general-purpose AI reads both files whole — story and brand deck. Effigo reads the brand deck as a full system: layout grid, decorative language, chart styling and the voice your company writes in. Same inputs to all three; how deep each one goes is the test.

numbers invented in silence — traceable or flagged

Numbers from published reviews and our own head-to-head — the full, reproducible test, with inputs and outputs published, lands at beta.

/ what ships with the beta

Built PowerPoint-first.

BETA

Story to structure

The core loop: send your narrative as plain text — and optionally a spreadsheet of data — and Effigo structures the argument slide by slide, in your voice.

BETA

Brand layer from your deck

Fonts, colors, logo, grid and voice — extracted from one example PPTX and enforced on every slide.

BETA

Numbers wired to your data

Chart series and key figures resolve from your spreadsheet at build time — deterministic arithmetic, no retyping. Every build ships with a numeral audit: figures the AI wrote itself are flagged for review.

BETA

Native charts & diagrams

Columns, lines, part-whole, scatter, funnels, matrices, timelines — real PowerPoint objects with live data.

BETA

Complex charts, still native

Waterfall ships today as a real, editable PowerPoint chart — and by launch the rest of the complex library follows. Where a type has no native form, we build it as data-true editable shapes — never a flat image.

BETA

Native decorative layer

Curves, strokes, ticks and frames generated as editable shapes — your brand's visual texture, never a background image.

SOON

Guided iteration

Ask for changes in plain language — "tighten slide 7", "make the funnel a table" — and the deck updates in place, still fully native.

SOON

Shared workspaces

One brand profile, whole team: colleagues from the same company generate and iterate decks in a shared space — identity enforced for everyone.

SOON

Story co-writing

No storytelling file ready? Effigo helps you build it — even starting from a financial model. Send the spreadsheet, point at the angle you want, and it drafts the narrative for you to approve before any slide exists.

SOON

Deck refresh

Point at last quarter's deck, plug in new data, get this quarter's — same look, updated story.

/ pricing

Pay per use. No subscription.

No monthly plan, no seats, no minimums — and no mystery about what a deck will cost. The entire price structure fits on one line:

setup
one-time · your brand profile, built from one deck you love
one-time fee — on us for the first brands off the waitlist

Setup fee waived for the first brands we onboard. Once those slots fill, setup goes back on the price list.

Lite

Fast, solid decks for internal use. Full brand enforcement, lighter design and narrative pass.

Full
$$ / slide · announced at beta

The full system: layout intelligence, native charts and diagrams, decorative language, your writing voice.

Finest
$$$ / slide · announced at beta

Deepest narrative and design reasoning, for the decks where the stakes justify it.

You pick the tier per deck, not per contract — a 12-slide internal review and a 30-slide board deck don't have to cost the same way. Exact per-slide pricing is announced with the beta.

Every deck, faithfully yours.
Every number, accounted for.

Be first to run the test on your own brand and your own data — with setup on us.
