# The open alternative to ChatGPT Slides for decks that clients can open

Any agent writes the deck as an HTML page. Clients and colleagues open it in the browser and comment on it, without a ChatGPT plan. ChatGPT Slides needs a Pro, Business or Enterprise plan – Display has a free plan.

Kestrel's Q3 churn readout, open on Display. The version history lists four versions at the same URL. Claude Code published v1 for Ana Ruiz. ChatGPT published v2 for Ben Okafor. Priya Shah edited v3 on the page. Cursor published v4 for Maya Lind. Version 4 answers Priya's comment “Can we split EMEA out?”

## Should I use ChatGPT Slides or Display?

Use Display when people outside your ChatGPT workspace must open the deck, when reviewers must comment but not edit, or when Cursor, Codex or Claude Code also write your decks. Your agent writes the deck as an HTML file and publishes it to one URL. You share it by link or by email invite. Use ChatGPT Slides when everyone who edits the deck has a ChatGPT Pro, Business or Enterprise plan, and you need a slide editor, real-time co-editing, or export to PowerPoint and Google Slides. ChatGPT Slides has view access and edit access. A comment-only role is not available.

## Edit any document in-line.

Fix any line right where you read it.

1. Select Edit on the page
2. Change it on the page
3. Save – the next version at the same URL

## Share each deck with the right people

A deck stays private until you share it. Then choose who can open it – one deck, a folder or a whole Space.

- **Invite people outside your company** – Invite clients and partners by email, and give each one a role: Viewer, Commenter, Contributor or Editor.
- **Private by default** – Every deck stays private until you share it with people and groups.
- **One-click sign-in for colleagues** – On Solo and higher plans, colleagues use the Google or Microsoft account they already have. Readers need no seat.
- **Know who opened it** – On Team and Business, see who opened which deck, and when, before you follow up.

## Before you choose Display for your decks

### We already pay for ChatGPT. Why add Display?

Keep ChatGPT to make the deck. Add Display for the people who read it. ChatGPT Slides is for Pro, Business and Enterprise plans, and a person gets view or edit access. On Display, viewers and commenters are free on every plan, and they do not need a ChatGPT plan. Decks from Cursor, Codex and Claude Code go to the same place.

### Does Display have a slide editor?

Today, a deck on Display is an HTML page. People with edit access select Edit and change it right on the page, or your agent publishes the next version at the same URL. A slide editor with a slide list, speaker notes and presenter controls is planned.

### What does Display cost?

The Free plan has 3 gated decks, unlimited public decks and unlimited viewers, with no card. With monthly billing, Solo is $12 a month for one person, and Team is $79 a month for up to 150 Editors and Contributors. Viewers and commenters are free on every plan. Display does not include an AI model.

### Can people outside our company open and comment on a deck?

Yes. Invite them by email to a deck or a folder, and give them a role: Viewer, Commenter, Contributor or Editor. To open the deck, they enter a one-time password. To comment, they need Commenter access and a Display account with a verified email. They do not join your organization. You can also make a deck public, and then anyone with the link opens it.

### How do I move a deck from ChatGPT Slides?

On the web, export the deck from ChatGPT as a PDF and add the PDF to Display. It opens in the browser at a shared URL. For a deck that your agent can change later, ask your agent to write the deck as an HTML file and publish that file.

### Which agents can make a deck for Display?

Any agent that writes HTML, for example Cursor, Codex, Claude Code and Claude. Agents connect through the Display MCP server, the CLI or the API. ChatGPT publishes through a custom app on Business and Enterprise workspaces. On other ChatGPT plans, save the file and publish it in the Display web app. Each person can use a different agent on the same deck.

### Can I get a deck out of Display?

Yes. Select More, then Print or save as PDF. You can also download the source file of any deck. Display does not export to PowerPoint or Google Slides.

### Is Display open source?

No. “Open” means three things. Any agent can publish to Display. Anyone you choose can open a deck without a seat. You can download the source file of any deck at any time.

## Give every agent the same place to publish decks

Display works with Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, ChatGPT and any other agent that writes HTML or Markdown.
