# Visual presentations

> Upload PDF and PowerPoint decks so Clara presents the right slide at the right moment during buyer conversations.

Give Clara your deck. Upload a presentation once, and when a buyer question matches a slide, Clara presents it while she speaks - turning conversations into live product demos.

## Supported formats

| Media      | Formats         | Size limit | Notes                     |
| ---------- | --------------- | ---------- | ------------------------- |
| PDF        | `.pdf`          | 100 MB     | Each page becomes a slide |
| PowerPoint | `.ppt`, `.pptx` | 100 MB     | Each slide is indexed     |

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Upload">
    Add a deck to your presentation library - name it, tag it, save.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Process">
    Slides are extracted and indexed. Status moves from pending to processing to completed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Attach">
    Attach the presentation to your agent in the agent's settings.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Present">
    When a buyer question matches a slide, Clara speaks the answer and shows the slide in the widget.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Clara decides autonomously when to present: her question is semantically matched against the attached slides. If nothing matches, she answers from the conversation as usual - no slide appears.

## Best practices

| Practice                       | Why                                                               |
| ------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Split large decks by topic     | Five 20-slide decks retrieve better than one 100-slide deck       |
| Use clear slide titles         | Titles carry the most weight in retrieval                         |
| Prefer PDF over PowerPoint     | Cleaner page indexing                                             |
| Test with real buyer questions | Ask 5–10 questions a prospect would and check which slides appear |

## Presentations vs knowledge base

* **Knowledge base** - Clara answers *from* your documents, in text
* **Visual presentations** - Clara *shows* a slide while she answers

Use both: ground the conversation in your knowledge base, and let slides carry the visual story. See [Knowledge base](/docs/capabilities/knowledge-base).

<Tip>
  This is how Clara "personalizes the demo": the same deck serves different buyers, because retrieval picks the slides that match each buyer's industry and question.
