What it does

Slides for LLMs. AI-powered presentations.Slates is built from scratch for agents, not adapted from human-first tools. JSON-native: Presentations are structured data. Grid layouts: No pixel coordinates. Agents pick templates and fill content — the grid handles design. MCP-first: One connection and any agent can create presentations programmatically. Existing tools are retrofitted for programmatic access. Slates assumes the agent is the primary user from day one.

    I'm Dan, and I built a CLI that lets AI agents design in Figma. What it does: 100 commands to create shapes, text, frames, components, modify styles, export assets. JSX importing that's ~100x faster than any plugin API import. Works with any LLM coding assistant. Why I built it: The official Figma MCP server can only read files. I wanted AI to actually design — create buttons, build layouts, generate entire component systems. Existing solutions were either read-only or required verbose JSON schemas that burn through tokens.

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
