# Quickstart

> Go from zero to a live, personalized AI presentation in minutes.

This guide walks you through creating your first template, setting up branding, and sending a homeowner their personalized presentation link.

## Before you start

Make sure your organization has been provisioned in AI Presentations. If you're not sure, contact your Demand IQ account manager.

## Step 1: Create a template

Log in and you'll land on your template dashboard. Click **New Template** in the top right.

Fill in the details:

1. Give your template a **name** — something you'll recognize, like "Spring Solar Pitch"
2. Add a **Template Context** — describe the audience and purpose in a sentence or two. This shapes the AI-generated narration, so the more specific you are, the better.
3. Upload your **slide images** (JPG, PNG, WebP, or SVG, up to 10 MB each) by dragging them into the upload area. The order you add them is the order they'll appear in the presentation. You can also drop a **PDF** — each page is rasterized into its own slide (up to 25 MB and 50 pages per file).
4. Click **Create & Generate**

AI Presentations will analyze each image, write narration scripts, and generate spoken audio. You'll see progress as it works through your slides — this usually takes under a minute.

## Step 2: Review your slides

Once generation is complete, your template opens in the editor. Click through the **Slides** tab to review what was created.

For each slide you can:

* Edit the **narration script** directly
* Click **Regenerate Audio from Script** after making changes
* Use **Use AI to Generate Script** to have the AI rewrite it from the image

Don't worry about getting everything perfect before moving on — you can always come back and edit.

## Step 3: Set up branding

Open the **Branding** tab. This controls what homeowners see when they open their presentation.

At a minimum, set:

* Your **Company Logo**
* Your **Primary Color** to match your brand

To customize the "Get Started" button on the landing page, open the **Intro** tab and set the **CTA Button Label**. To customize the main action button homeowners see once the presentation starts, open the **Action** tab and pick an action type (letter of intent, product confirmation, appointment, external link) and an optional button label.

The **Live Preview** on the right updates as you make changes so you can see exactly how it'll look.

## Step 4: Add FAQs (recommended)

Open the **FAQs** tab and click **Add FAQ** to add questions your homeowners commonly ask. AI Presentations matches these during live Q\&A and responds with your exact wording.

A few good ones to start with:

* How long does installation take?
* Is there a warranty?
* What's the pricing / financing options?

## Step 5: Send a presentation

Open the **Presentations** tab and click **New Presentation**. Enter the homeowner's name, address, and contact details, then click **Create**.

You'll get a shareable link. Send it to the homeowner however you like — text, email, CRM, whatever fits your workflow. When they open it, they'll see a branded landing page with their name and address already in the narration.
