Overview
Cora turns any Google Slides file you bring into a finished deck, filled with your account data and edits. It always works on a copy, so your original is never changed.
Two ways to use it, often combined in one deck:
Template — Cora fills placeholders in {{ }} braces, like {{company_name}} → AcmeCorp
Existing deck — Cora swaps fixed text, like Jan 1, 2026 → June 22, 2026
Placeholders give the most consistent results. They're optional fill-in-the-blank fields, and anything you leave unfilled simply shows as {{ }} text in the deck.
Creating a deck
Before you start, make sure:
Google Drive is connected in Settings → Integrations
Your deck is a Google Slides file (convert an uploaded PowerPoint first)
It's shared with [email protected] — directly, or via "Anyone with the link" sharing. Viewer access is enough (Editor only if your organization blocks copying for viewers)
Then:
In Cora chat, paste the link and tell Cora how to fill or edit the slides — it reads the deck and your account data to make the changes.
Cora returns a link to the finished deck.
Some workspaces have a template built into a Cora skill (for example, an EBR master deck) — there you skip the link and just prompt Cora.
How the finished deck is shared
Cora shares every deck it creates automatically:
Anyone in your organization can edit it
Anyone with the link can view it
The deck is a new copy, so your original is never changed. It opens from the link Cora gives you and is owned by Cora's [email protected] account — use File → Make a copy to save it to your own Drive.
