# The open alternative to Claude Slides for decks from any agent

The clients and colleagues you invite open your deck and comment on it without a Claude account. Display puts the HTML deck your agent wrote at one URL, and any agent updates it.

Kestrel's Q3 review deck, an HTML deck open on Display at its churn slide. The version history lists four versions at the same URL. Claude Code published v1 for Ana Ruiz. Codex 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 Claude Slides or Display?

Use Display when the deck is an HTML file from Cursor, Codex or another agent, or when some reviewers are not on Claude. In Claude, a person you invite by email needs a Claude account, and a person who opens a public link cannot comment. In Display, the people you invite sign in with a one-time password and comment on the deck. Use Claude Slides when you build the deck in Claude and need a slide editor, speaker notes or a PowerPoint export. Every Claude plan includes it. Display has no slide-by-slide editor, no presenter view and no PowerPoint export today.

## One place for decks from every agent your team uses

Ana's deck is in Claude Slides. Maya's deck is an HTML file from Cursor. Ben's deck went out as a PDF. Display holds the HTML decks that any agent writes, with one way to share them.

- **Before:** Split by tool
- **After:** One place for every agent

Company decks open for everyone at Kestrel with Google or Microsoft sign-in.

## Pay for the company, not a Claude seat per colleague

On Claude Team, each colleague you add to your Claude organization is a paid seat. In Display, Viewers and Commenters are free, and the price stays the same as the company grows.

- **Claude Team Standard:** $1,000 a month for 50 seats. $20 per Standard seat a month, billed yearly. $25 billed monthly. A Claude seat includes Claude itself, and Claude Slides with it. Team is for 2 to 150 people.
- **Display Team:** $59 a month for 50 reviewers. The price stays the same when more people review.. $59 a month, billed yearly. $79 billed monthly. Up to 150 Editors and Contributors. Viewers and Commenters are free. Includes Shared Spaces, Google and Microsoft sign-in, and who opened each deck.

Prices without tax, checked 11 November 2026 on claude.com/pricing and display.dev/pricing. The Claude bill counts colleagues inside your Claude organization. A person outside it needs a Claude account, not a Team seat. Display's price covers only the decks and docs.

## Open to every agent and everyone you invite

“Open” means three things you can check today.

- **Any agent publishes the deck** – Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, ChatGPT or any other agent publishes an HTML deck through the CLI, MCP or the API. A reveal.js, Impress.js or Slidev deck works as one bundled HTML file.
- **The deck stays as your agent made it** – Animation, code blocks and charts that respond to clicks run as written. A different agent updates the same deck at the same URL, each version shows who published it, and you can download the source at any time.
- **Anyone you choose opens it** – Share a deck with one person, a group, your whole company or the public. Reviewers need no seat.

## Built for decks that agents write

Ask your agent to publish the deck to Display. Reviewers comment on the page. The agent reads the comments and publishes the next version at the same URL.

## 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 a deck with clients and colleagues who are not on Claude

Invite people by email, or open a deck to your company. Share one deck, a folder or a whole Space.

- **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. Reviewers need no seat.
- **Invite clients and partners** – Invite people outside your company by email, and give each one a role: Viewer, Commenter, Contributor or Editor.
- **Know who opened it** – On Team and Business, see who opened which deck, and when, before you follow up.

## Questions about Display and Claude Slides

### What does Display cost?

The Free plan costs $0 and has no version history. Solo costs $12 a month, or $9 billed yearly. Team costs $79 a month for the whole company, or $59 billed yearly, with up to 150 Editors and Contributors. Viewers and Commenters are free on every plan.

### Who can open a deck?

A new deck is private by default. You can share it with people and groups, open it to everyone in your company, or make it public. People sign in with a one-time password before a private or company deck opens. Solo and higher plans add Google and Microsoft sign-in. Enterprise adds SAML sign-in, for example with Okta.

### Can clients comment on a deck?

Yes. Invite them by email to a deck or a folder as a Commenter, Contributor or Editor. To read, they enter a one-time password. To comment or edit, they sign in to a Display account. They need no Claude account. They do not join your organization.

### Claude Code already publishes HTML pages as artifacts. Why use Display?

Claude Code can publish one self-contained HTML page as an artifact on claude.ai. Only Claude products publish there. Claude Code needs a Pro plan or higher and a claude.ai sign-in to do it, and it cannot publish from sessions that use an API key, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud or Microsoft Foundry. Display takes HTML decks from Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, ChatGPT and any other agent, and gives all of them the same sharing, comments and versions.

### Does Display use my content to train AI models?

No. We do not use customer content to train or fine-tune any AI or machine-learning model.

### Which agents work with Display?

Any agent that writes HTML or Markdown, for example Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, Claude and ChatGPT. Agents connect through the Display MCP server, the CLI or the API. Each person can use a different agent on the same deck.

### Does a reveal.js deck work?

Yes. Publish a reveal.js, Impress.js or Slidev deck as one HTML file with its scripts and styles bundled in. The deck's own navigation and animation run as written.

### How do people and agents work on a deck together?

Reviewers comment on the page. Your agent reads the deck and its comments, publishes the next version at the same URL, and resolves the threads it answered. One person edits at a time. Each save or publish adds a new version. On Solo and higher plans, you can open and restore earlier versions.

### Does Display have a slide editor?

Not a slide-by-slide editor today. People with edit access select Edit and change the deck's HTML page in the browser, in Visual or Source mode. Visual mode does not run the deck's scripts. A Slides editor with speaker notes and presenter controls is in progress and has no date. If you need a slide editor now, Claude Slides has one.

### Can I present from Display?

Yes. Open the deck's URL and put the browser in full screen. The deck's own controls move between slides. Display's slide deck template scales to the screen and has keyboard navigation. Display has no presenter view and no speaker notes.

### Can I export a deck to PowerPoint?

No. Display does not make PowerPoint or Google Slides files. Open More on the deck and select Print or save as PDF, or download its HTML source. Display's slide deck template has print styles. Other decks print as their own styles allow. If you need an editable PowerPoint file, Claude Slides exports one.

### How do I move a Claude Slides deck to Display?

Anthropic's Academy tutorial lists a “Web page (.html)” download for a deck. We have not tested this path. If you try it, publish the file to Display and check each slide. A deck that an agent writes as HTML from the start needs no conversion.

### 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

Connect Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, ChatGPT or any other agent that writes an HTML deck. The Free plan costs $0.
