Honest split

They still win

  • Vision-first canvas with Opus-class models in Anthropic’s UI
  • Conversational charts + brand systems without leaving chat
  • One-click Canva / Claude Code handoff for that ecosystem

We win next

  • Open Deck JSON that survives theme swap, audit, PPTX
  • Works in every coding agent — not only a Claude seat
  • 75 gallery-proven themes · no subscription gate to ship

Verdict

Use Claude Design when you want a hosted visual canvas inside Anthropic. Use presentation-md when the deck must live in your agent loop — schema, themes, Studio, MCP, and PPTX without a seat tax.
