File engines

Real files from a chat: PowerPoint, PDF, Word and Excel.

Say what you need. Ail writes it as clean data and its own file engines draw the real file. Then edit a deck slide by slide, in the browser, and download it.

How it works

From a sentence to a file

The model never draws the file. It writes data, the engine checks and tidies it, and the engine draws the same real file every time.

  1. 1

    Ask for a file

    Say what you need in Ail's chat, or text Ail on WhatsApp. Name the topic, the length and who it is for.

  2. 2

    Ail writes it as data

    A deck becomes layouts, text, charts and tables. A report becomes sections. A sheet becomes headers and rows.

  3. 3

    The engine draws it

    The data is checked first, so a bad slide loses its fancy layout, not its place in the deck. Then the engine draws the file.

  4. 4

    Edit and download

    Open a deck in the editor to change anything by hand, or download the file as it is.

The deck editor

Ask in a chat, then edit like a slide app

Every picture here is a screenshot of the real app. The editor draws each slide with the same engine that makes the download, so what you see is what you get.

1. In the chat

Ask in plain words

Say what you need. Ail writes the deck, the PowerPoint engine draws it, and the deck card gives you Preview, Edit and Download.

2. In the editor

Edit every slide

Slides down the left, the slide as it will download in the middle, and its fields on the right. A toolbar holds move, copy, delete, layout, font, text size, logo and background picture, and a chat box at the bottom asks Ail to change the slide you are on.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Ail Files?
Ail Files is the set of file engines behind Ail. Each one turns structured data into a real file: PowerPoint (.pptx), PDF, Word (.docx) or Excel (.xlsx). You ask for a file in the chat, Ail writes it as data, and the engine draws it.
Is Ail Files open source?
Yes. We made the engine open source so that anyone can contribute. You will find it on GitHub as ail-files.
Which files can it make?
PowerPoint decks (.pptx), PDF documents, Word documents (.docx), and Excel workbooks (.xlsx).
Can I edit a deck after it is made?
Yes. Press Edit on the deck in your chat and it opens in the deck editor. Change any text, chart value or table cell, add, move, copy and delete slides, set a font, text size, colours or background picture for one slide, place your own pictures, undo and redo, and go back to an earlier version. Your changes are saved as you type.
Can I move things around on a slide?
Pictures you add can be moved and resized on any slide. To move a slide's own parts, such as its title, cards or chart, turn on free-form for that slide. It takes one click, is instant and uses no AI. Decks made in Force dynamic layout (beta) are free-form from the start.
Does editing use AI?
Only when you ask it to. Editing text, colours, pictures and positions, and turning on free-form, do not use AI. Ask Ail on a slide and Change layout do, and they change only the slide you are on.
Will the files open in PowerPoint, Word and Excel?
They are standard .pptx, .docx and .xlsx files, and PDFs, not a special format. Our own checks open them in LibreOffice and look at the result.
What happens to my pictures and decks?
A deck you edit is saved encrypted in your Ail account. Pictures and your logo are kept encrypted in your account too, so they follow you to your other devices, and they are used only to draw your file. If you turn on Let Ail see them, a small preview of each picture goes to the model so it can place it.
