# Agents render PDF reports and slide decks in a real browser

> Files the chat agent creates are now built as HTML and exported through headless Chrome as polished PDFs and images, guided by reference designs.

Ask the chat agent for a report, a slide deck, or a one-page graphic, and it now designs the file the way a web designer would: as HTML and CSS, exported through headless Chrome inside its sandbox. That gives every file a real layout engine, with grids, web fonts, proper text wrapping, and inline SVG charts, instead of hand-placed coordinates.

### How it works

- **Formats.** Reports export as A4 PDFs, slide decks as 16:9 landscape PDF pages, and infographics or flyers as full-page PNGs. Raw data still comes back as CSV.
- **Clean page breaks.** Agents are instructed to keep tables, headings, and charts from splitting across pages.
- **A library of reference designs.** Agents search a library of example PDF reports, slide decks, graphics, CSVs, and HTML emails by description, read the closest match, and borrow its spacing, typography, and structure rather than copying it.
- **One rendering path.** This replaced the coordinate-based PDF library and the separate PowerPoint, Word, and Excel generators. Native Office files came back in April with [document skills](/changelog/2026-04-23-document-skills).
