Cited Slides: How SNAP Pitch Grounds Every Bullet in Your Sources

Most AI deck tools generate confident-looking slides with no way to check where the claims came from. SNAP Pitch takes a different path: every bullet, stat, and quote on an exported slide is tied back to the source it came from in your SNAP chat.

What "grounded" means on a slide

When your custom AI assistant answers a question, it pulls from the documents, transcripts, and reports you've connected. SNAP Pitch carries those retrieval traces through to the deck. A stat slide keeps the report it came from. A quote slide keeps the transcript line. A comparison slide keeps the two sources it drew from.

Why this matters for enterprise decks

A pitch that can't be traced is a pitch that gets edited by legal for a week. Grounded slides shorten that review because reviewers can click through to the underlying material instead of guessing whether a number was hallucinated.

How the citation layer works

• Each generated slide stores the source IDs used during reasoning.
• Citations render as footnotes on the slide and as speaker-note references.
• Sources travel with the deck when it moves to Canva or into Plot for narration.
• Swap a source, regenerate the slide — the citation updates with it.

This is the same grounding approach explained in Inside SNAP's Source Layer: grounded generation from your own material, applied to slide export instead of chat answers.

The payoff

Decks that hold up in a boardroom, a compliance review, or a client Q&A — because every claim on the slide points back to something real.
