Write-ups & Slides
Generate polished write-ups and interactive slide decks from any Formula Bot conversation. Export to Word, PowerPoint, or share via public link.
Formula Bot can transform any chat conversation into a polished write-up or interactive slide deck. Both are generated from your analysis, including charts, key stats, and insights — ready to share or present.
Getting Started
- Run your analysis in a chat — ask questions, generate charts, explore your data
- Click the Summarize button in the chat header (top-right)
- Choose Write-up or Slides from the dropdown
- Formula Bot reviews your entire conversation and generates the output
- The viewer opens automatically when generation is complete
The more analysis and charts in your conversation, the richer the output. Run your full analysis before summarizing.
Write-ups
Write-ups distill your analysis into a structured, long-form document with inline charts, key findings, and actionable insights.
What's Included
- Structured sections with clear headings
- Key findings and insights from your analysis
- Inline charts placed next to the text they support
- Actual figures pulled directly from your data (nothing is fabricated)
- Professional tone suitable for stakeholders and executives
Write-ups only include information from your conversation. They never invent data or add information that wasn't part of your analysis.
Exporting Write-ups
- Copy as Markdown — Click the Copy button to paste into Notion, Confluence, Google Docs, email, etc.
- Download as Word — Click the Download button to export as a
.docxfile with preserved formatting and embedded charts.
Sharing Write-ups
- Open the write-up viewer
- Click the Share button
- A public link is copied to your clipboard
Recipients can view the full report without needing a Formula Bot account.
Slides
Slides turn your conversation into a visual presentation with multiple slide types, themes, and export options.
Slide Types
Formula Bot automatically selects the best slide type for each piece of content:
| Slide Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Title | Opening slide with your analysis topic |
| Content | Bullet-point insights and findings |
| Chart | Visualizations from your analysis with annotations |
| Stat | A single impactful number or KPI, displayed prominently |
| Quote | A standout insight or key finding |
| Comparison | Side-by-side analysis (before/after, pros/cons) |
| Visual | Diagrams, flows, timelines, and structured visuals |
| Summary | Closing takeaways and recommendations |
Visual Slide Layouts
Visual slides support specialized layouts for structured data:
- Timeline — Chronological steps or milestones
- Process — Sequential workflow with connected steps
- Metrics — Grid of KPIs and key numbers
- Funnel — Narrowing stages (e.g., sales pipeline)
- Hierarchy — Tree structure (e.g., org charts)
- Cycle — Circular flows and feedback loops
- Grid — Uniform card grid for grouped items
Navigating Slides
| Control | Action |
|---|---|
| Left/Right arrows | Previous/next slide |
| Number keys (1-9) | Jump directly to a slide |
| Escape | Close the viewer |
| Slide counter | Click to open a dropdown and jump to any slide |
On mobile, swipe left and right or use the on-screen navigation buttons.
Themes
Switch between 6 built-in themes to match your brand or presentation style:
| Theme | Style |
|---|---|
| Dark | Dark background with warm accent |
| Light | Clean white background |
| Ocean | Deep navy with teal accents |
| Forest | Dark green with natural tones |
| Sunset | Deep purple with warm accents |
| Minimal | Near-white with subtle styling |
Click the theme picker in the slide viewer toolbar to switch themes instantly.
Exporting to PowerPoint
- Open the slide viewer
- Click the Download button in the toolbar
- The PowerPoint file includes all slides, charts, speaker notes, and formatting
Chart images are embedded directly in the PowerPoint file, so recipients don't need Formula Bot access to view them.
Sharing Slides
- Open the slide viewer
- Click the Share button
- A public link is copied to your clipboard
Recipients can view, navigate, switch themes, and download the deck from the shared link.
Write-ups vs. Slides
Both are generated from the same conversation but serve different purposes:
| Write-ups | Slides | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Long-form document | Visual presentation |
| Best for | Reading, sharing via email/docs | Presenting to a group |
| Charts | Inline with text | Full-slide display |
| Export | Word (.docx), Markdown | PowerPoint (.pptx) |
| Tone | Detailed, narrative | Concise, visual |
Generate both a write-up and a slide deck from the same conversation to cover all your reporting needs.
Version History
Formula Bot saves every write-up and slide deck you generate for a chat:
- Click Summarize in the chat header
- Choose Slides or Write-up
- View previously generated versions with timestamps
- Click any version to reload it, or generate a new one
You can regenerate as your analysis evolves without losing earlier versions.
Tips for Better Results
- Be thorough in your analysis — the more ground you cover, the richer the output
- Include charts — visualizations make both write-ups and slides more impactful
- Ask follow-up questions — deeper analysis produces richer content
- Use specific numbers — mentioning exact figures helps generate stat slides and precise write-up sections
- Ask summary questions — "what are the key takeaways?" gives clear conclusions to include
