Summary

Start an asynchronous generation of a presentation deck using Chronicle's API, optionally based on a specific template, and immediately receive a generation_id to track the process later.

Inputs

  • Prompt (required) — Text description of what you want Chronicle to generate in the presentation deck.
  • Template — Optional Chronicle template to use as a structural scaffold for the deck. Can be selected from a list or specified by ID.
  • Attachments — List of file attachments (IDs and download URLs) previously uploaded to ground the generation content.
  • Narrative Type — Specifies the narrative archetype Chronicle should use to outline the deck, such as Pitch or Showcase; defaults to Auto to let Chronicle decide.
  • Rewrite Style — Controls how much Chronicle rewrites the input text: Subtle (default), Strong, or Preserve.
  • Section Count — Number of sections (slides) in the deck; use 'auto' (default) to let Chronicle decide or specify a positive integer.
  • Language — Language code for the generated deck (default is English US).

Output shape

a single record containing the generation_id used to track the presentation generation progress

The operation immediately returns with a generation_id without waiting for the deck generation to complete. Use the generation_id with a polling operation to check the generation status and retrieve the final presentation data once complete.

Examples

Example 1: Generate a new presentation asynchronously without a template

Specify a prompt describing the desired deck content, and optionally supply attachments. The node returns a generation_id for later tracking.
