Deck from company files is a DFIRST skill that builds a presentation out of your own documents in the Data Room or a connected Drive. Firsty, the DFIRST agent, finds the right files, lists each fact with where it came from, and shows you a slide-by-slide plan before writing. You get an editable deck in your brand's colours and fonts, plus its PDF.
A 4-slide case study on our NOVA campaign for Thursday's pitch, from the NOVA folder in our Data Room.
Four slides in NOVA's blue, built from the campaign folder. The plan for the four was approved before any slide was written, and the PDF came with the editable deck.
A 10-slide board update from the files in our Data Room: Q3 sales, the summer campaign and the Lime launch.
Three of the ten slides, in ZESTA's orange. Each number on them comes from a Data Room file that is named at the foot of the slide.
An 8-slide pitch for SOL CLUB to a Boston pharmacy chain, from our Q3 results. Show me the numbers first.
The facts table the deck stands on: each number with its file and the slide it goes on. One figure the plan wanted was not in the files, so it is marked missing, not estimated.
| Fact | Number | Source file | Slide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tubes sold in Q3 | 212,000 | q3-results.xlsx, Sales | 2 |
| Repeat buyers within 90 days | 34% | crm-export-sept.csv | 3 |
| Stores stocking SOL CLUB | 1,150 | retail-list-sept.xlsx | 4 |
| Growth in Massachusetts, Q2 to Q3 | +22% | q3-results.xlsx, Regions | 5 |
| Sell-through in pharmacies | Missing | Not in the files | 6 |
Plan approved: 8 slides. A number reaches a slide only from this table.

What Deck from company files needs from you and what it hands back.
When you ask for one of these on its own, Firsty runs it with this skill.
About Deck from company files and how it fits the rest of DFIRST.
Tell Firsty the topic, the audience and how many slides you need, then point it to the files or let it search your Data Room or Drive. You approve a slide-by-slide plan first. The deck then comes in your brand's look, with each number traced back to a file.
No. Every number in the deck comes from one of your files, and the facts table shows which file and which slide. When the files do not hold a figure you expected, you see that before writing starts, and can add the file or drop the point.
Yes. The deck opens in the presentation editor, where you change text and order yourself. Or ask Firsty for a change and name the slides: only those are rewritten, and every other slide stays exactly as you left it.
It reads files in your Data Room and in a Drive you have connected under Connections. Files on a laptop or in an email need to be uploaded first. Once they are in, Firsty finds them by search even when you do not name them.
Yes. The slides take the colours and fonts from your Brand DNA, so a board update and a client pitch look like they come from the same company, with no placeholder text left on any slide.
Your request waits on this device until your access starts. DFIRST opens to people on the waitlist first.
