Feature request for product/service
Cursor IDE
Describe the request
I’d love Cursor to support shareable Slides / presentation decks, either as a first-class Canvas mode or as a Canvas-adjacent artifact.
Canvas already gives agents durable React-based artifacts with sections, tables, charts, diagrams, custom interactivity, and team-shareable published snapshots. A Slides mode feels like a natural extension for work that is meant to be presented or shared asynchronously rather than explored as a dashboard.
What I am imagining:
- Ask Cursor to “turn this into slides” from a chat, repo investigation, PR review, incident analysis, design doc, eval analysis, or existing Canvas.
- Cursor generates a deck-style artifact with slide navigation, title/section slides, speaker notes, citations/backlinks to source context, and reusable Canvas components such as charts, diagrams, tables, diffs, and callouts.
- The deck can be published with the same share-link model as Shared Canvases, so teammates can open it in a browser without rerunning the agent or digging through chat history.
- The deck remains durable in the Agents Window, can be iterated on with prompts, and can optionally refresh underlying data when appropriate.
- Nice-to-have: export to PDF/PPTX/Markdown, presenter mode, theme templates, and the ability to branch from an existing Canvas into a slide deck.
Why this would be useful:
A lot of agent work in Cursor ends with “now explain this to other humans”: architecture reviews, incident postmortems, roadmap/design proposals, PR walkthroughs, eval summaries, customer/project updates, and onboarding material. Today that usually means manually copying chat or Canvas output into Google Slides, PowerPoint, or a docs page, which loses the link to the original context and the agent’s ability to update it.
Slides would preserve the current Canvas strengths while adding a presentation-native layout for communication-heavy outputs.
