PowerPoint and file handoff

Export a Lumen deck for delivery outside the workspace, including hybrid PPTX plus PDF, HTML, and slide-image paths.

  • Stable PPTX layouts use editable text and shapes
  • Complex slides may preserve fidelity as images
  • Deck export is not gated — the trial, a paid plan, and a lapsed account all download the same clean file

Lumen MCP tools

Five purpose-built deck tools for a signed-in Gixo account, from any MCP client that connects with your account: create_pitch_deck, create_board_presentation, create_sales_presentation, create_training_presentation, and create_presentation_from_url. Give each one a brief — what the round, meeting, deal or session is for — and a length of 10, 20 or 30 slides. Each starts the deck in your own Lumen workspace through the same generation path as the app and returns its link straight away; generation continues in the background.

  • Signed-in only: connect your Gixo account over OAuth
  • Decks are generated in your own workspace under your Lumen plan's limits
  • create_presentation_from_url builds a deck from one webpage as its source
  • Refining an existing deck by instruction is not available yet

PowerPoint add-in on AppSource

Gixo Lumen for PowerPoint is published on Microsoft AppSource. Create, find, and insert editable AI presentations without leaving PowerPoint. On supported chart slides with stored data and sufficient space, bar, horizontal bar, stacked bar, line, area, pie, donut, scatter, radar, and bar-and-line combo can export as native PowerPoint charts; waterfall, funnel, Gantt, heatmap, treemap, symbol map, Marimekko, bubble, Sankey, bullet, slope, and dumbbell can export as editable shapes. Other visuals may use images; inspect the export and its source notes before handoff.

  • Listed on AppSource and installable from the Office add-in store
  • Inserts into the deck you already have open; supported text and chart elements remain editable, while complex artwork may use images
  • Free to install; generating or inserting a deck requires an active Lumen trial or subscription

How do I install Lumen and insert a deck in PowerPoint?

Install the published add-in, connect Gixo, then select a completed deck. The add-in is free to install; generation and insertion require an active Lumen trial or subscription.

  1. Open Gixo Lumen for PowerPoint on Microsoft Marketplace and use its installation flow. You can also search for that name under PowerPoint's Add-ins menu; the menu location varies by version.
  2. Open your destination presentation, launch Lumen and choose Sign in with Gixo. Follow the account-connection flow.
  3. Use My decks to find a completed deck you can access, or Import with its Gixo URL or deck ID. To try the source packet first, open the prepared five-slide request in Lumen, review the outline and generate there.
  4. Choose Keep Gixo design or Use this file's layouts and masters, then insert. Direct colors and fonts stay on inserted shapes; inspect and edit them in PowerPoint. Review text, source notes, layout and charts in the destination file before sharing.

The add-in's Create view also accepts a topic, instructions and pasted source text. Its slide-length choices differ from the prepared web outline. Do not treat the website sample download as a Gixo deck ID.

bar, horizontal bar, stacked bar, line, area, pie, donut, scatter, radar, and bar-and-line combo charts remain native PowerPoint charts; other chart kinds use editable shapes. Some complex visuals remain images. Theme matching and editability do not verify the accuracy of generated claims.

If the store is unavailable, check your PowerPoint version and your organization's add-in policy. See Microsoft's add-in installation guidance or Gixo support. File export is a separate delivery path with its existing policy.

Export fidelity

PowerPoint export is hybrid by design.

Stable layouts become editable text and shapes. Complex slides may be preserved as images so the visual handoff remains faithful and the file opens cleanly in PowerPoint.

From source material to presentation handoff

Build the deck, review it, and evaluate the exported handoff in one workspace.

Start a 14-day, no-card Starter trial to generate and review decks and evaluate clean hybrid PPTX and PDF exports. Existing decks remain reviewable after the trial; paid Lumen continues generation and unlocks the delivery paths shown in pricing.

Lumen also includes Stanza, a responsive visual-story mode that turns the same sources into a scrolling web story instead of a slide deck. Start quickly, or plan first and approve the scene plan before generation. Stanza grounds sources through the same pre-authorized search path as Lumen decks, it ships under Lumen access, and a supported Lumen deck can be converted into a separate Stanza story. Review conversion warnings: the original theme and slide imagery are not copied automatically.
