How does Lyro decide where one slide ends and the next begins?

Create Slides from Markdown splits the text on three-hyphen separators and picks a template for each slide from the structure of the content beneath it. On updates, the supported slide types are title, bullet, table, quote, image, and two-column, so the markdown you write maps onto a known set of layouts.

Will a deck Lyro generates keep our own theme?

Only if it starts from your template. Create Slides from Markdown applies its own professional themes, whereas Copy Google Slides from Template duplicates an existing deck through a Drive file copy, preserving themes, masters, and layouts exactly. Lyro then swaps the placeholder text and images through a batch update.

Is there a cost to previewing a slide?

Against your Google API quota, yes. Get Page Thumbnail v2 counts as an expensive read request, which is why Lyro renders a thumbnail for the page someone actually asked about rather than generating previews across a whole deck by default.

Which presentations can Lyro reach?

Those the connected Google account can already open. Every action works from a presentation ID, and template duplication runs as a Drive file copy, so a template stored outside that account's reach cannot be used as a starting point until it is shared with it.

How businesses use Google Slides + Lyro

Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Google Slides actions Lyro runs to close it.

Build a deck from markdown in one step
Lyro splits the markdown on its separators, applies a layout to each section based on what the content looks like, and returns a finished presentation instead of a blank deck someone has to fill.

How it works

Get started in 3 steps

Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Google Slides actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.

01
Connect Google Slides
Authorize the Google Slides account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.
02
Tell your agent what you need
Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Google Slides actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.
03
Watch it work
The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.
