Where does the AI get its data?

Research mode uses live web search and your uploaded documents, and cites every source so you can verify and defend each claim.

Can I use Research mode without uploading documents?

Yes. Research mode can run on web search alone, but uploading your own documents gives the AI richer, company-specific context.

Sliiides Research Mode — AI Market Research for Investor Decks

Research mode is Sliiides' built-in AI research engine that pulls cited market data from the web and your own documents, then saves it directly into your deck's knowledge base so every claim is defensible.

Why Research Matters More Than Design

Investors pattern-match on market size, competitive clarity, and traction — not fonts. A deck that cites nothing, or cites numbers a founder can't defend in a partner meeting, destroys credibility faster than an imperfect layout ever could.

Research mode gives you cited, defensible data before a single slide is built.

What Research Mode Does

Web search — pulls current market data, competitor information, and industry statistics from across the web
Document analysis — reads your uploaded pitch notes, financial models, and research files
Saves to knowledge base — every finding is stored in a per-deck knowledge base tied to that deck only
Cites sources — every data point includes its source so you can reference it live in a meeting

How to Use It

1. Upload your raw documents (pitch notes, financials, market data) to the deck 2. Open Research mode and enter your research questions or let Sliiides suggest them from your Product Brief 3. Review the cited findings — accept, edit, or discard each one 4. Accepted findings are saved to the knowledge base and become available to Create mode when generating slides

The Practical Payoff

Walk into due diligence and point to the exact source behind every market claim
Answer partner questions in real time instead of following up by email
Replace vague TAM/SAM/SOM estimates with cited figures

Data Isolation

Sliiides is multi-tenant with strict per-organization data isolation. Your knowledge base is never shared across organizations or used to train models for other users.

What Research Mode Is Not

Research mode surfaces and cites data — it doesn't validate your business model or replace founder judgment. Use it to ground your narrative in facts, then apply your own domain knowledge to tell the story.
