A provider is simply the service Presenton calls for one job. You can mix local and hosted providers based on privacy, quality, speed, and cost.

​
Choose three capabilities

Text

Creates outlines, writes slide content, and powers the AI assistant.

Images

Finds stock photos or generates new visuals for slides.

Web search

Adds current public information when you enable research.

​
Supported text providers

Presenton Cloud, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI, Amazon Bedrock, OpenRouter, Fireworks, Together AI, Cerebras, LiteLLM, Ollama, LM Studio, custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints, and ChatGPT sign-in through Codex where supported.

​
Use Presenton Cloud as a provider

In v0.9.7-beta and later, the local administrator can connect a Presenton account from onboarding or provider settings. Presenton displays a short device code and opens the hosted approval page. After approval, select Presenton as the text provider to route supported generation and document-upload workflows through Presenton Cloud.
This connection is a generation provider, not a sign-in method for the self-hosted application. Create or sign in to the local administrator account first.
The connection applies to the entire installation:
  • Only the local administrator can connect, replace, or disconnect it.
  • Delegated access and refresh credentials are encrypted at rest and are not returned to the browser.
  • Selecting the provider stores LLM=presenton; connecting it alone does not replace another selected provider.
  • Disconnecting revokes the cloud credentials and deselects Presenton.
  • Official builds include the public device-flow client configuration, so no OAuth client secret or registration is required.
Presentations and documents processed through this provider leave the self-hosted environment. Use a local provider when your data-handling policy requires processing to remain on your infrastructure.
