## What it is

NexDoc Design is a design engine for AI agents. You (or an agent) submit content, instructions, and a format. NexDoc returns production-ready HTML/CSS with a live preview URL, PDF or HTML export, and optional public publish. It is not a Canva/Gamma-style editor humans have to learn: the agent stays in Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP/REST client.

Supported agents: Anthropic Claude (including Claude Code), OpenAI, Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw, Codex, LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, and custom MCP or HTTP clients.

## How to start (zero config)

1. Sign up at https://app.nexdoc.design — $1.00 welcome credit, no credit card.
2. Tell the agent: Read https://www.nexdoc.design/skills.md and design a 5-slide pitch deck for my product.
3. The agent reads the skill, connects to NexDoc, and starts designing.

Human docs: https://www.nexdoc.design/docs
MCP setup: https://www.nexdoc.design/docs/agents/mcp
REST API: https://api.nexdoc.design
MCP server: https://mcp.nexdoc.design/mcp

## Workflow

1. Connect — agent handshake via skills.md (no local SDK).
2. Craft — agent structures content and calls NexDoc; the engine handles spatial layout deterministically.
3. Preview/Edit — live viewer at view.nexdoc.design; click-to-edit text in the browser; high-DPI PDF export.
4. Iterate — versioned edits for a few cents (example: $0.03).

## Pricing (usage-based)

Shared on every plan: full REST API, MCP server, agent skills, all output formats (decks, docs, resumes, flyers, PDFs).

- Pay-As-You-Go: $0 to start. $1.00 one-time welcome credit. ~$0.03–$0.24 per run. 1 concurrent run. Optional auto-topups. Community support. CTA: https://app.nexdoc.design

## Benchmark (DesignEval, 8 September 2026)

Open-source: https://github.com/nexdocai/nxd-design-evals

| System | ELO (higher) | Speed (slides / 10 min) | Cost efficiency (slides / $) |
|---|---|---|---|
| NexDoc Design | 806.5 | 8.82 | 27.78 |
| Opus 5 | 1158.5 | 2.73 | 0.52 |
| ChatGPT 5.6 Sol (High) | 636.2 | 7.50 | 7.73 |

Claimed vs Opus 5: 3.2× faster, 53× more cost-efficient, 98% lower frontier generation cost. NexDoc is not the ELO leader vs Opus 5; the product position is cost, speed, and visual quality vs Codex-class systems.

## Privacy

NexDoc does not train models on customer designs, documents, or brand assets. Transport is TLS. Enterprise adds SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, custom VPC, and tenant isolation.

## Skills (read these first)

- [nexdoc-design](https://www.nexdoc.design/skills/nexdoc-design/SKILL.md): Generate, iterate, preview, export, and publish production-ready designs (landing pages, slide decks, reports, invoices, resumes, business cards, social cards, email newsletters, and 30+ formats) with NexDoc Design. Use when the user wants a design, layout, deck, PDF, page, or card generated or edited. Prefer MCP tools when connected; otherwise call the REST API. Never publish unless asked.
- [nexdoc-mcp](https://www.nexdoc.design/skills/nexdoc-mcp/SKILL.md): Generate, iterate, preview, and export production-ready designs (landing pages, slide decks, reports, invoices, resumes, business cards, social cards, email newsletters, and 30+ formats) through the NexDoc Design MCP tools (create_design, update_design, wait_for_run, notify_run_email, export_design). Use whenever the user asks to design, lay out, make a deck, PDF, page, or card, or to edit an existing NexDoc design, and MCP tools are available. Never publish unless asked.
- [nexdoc-api](https://www.nexdoc.design/skills/nexdoc-api/SKILL.md): Generate, iterate, preview, export, and publish production-ready designs (landing pages, slide decks, reports, invoices, resumes, business cards, social cards, email newsletters, and 30+ formats) by calling the NexDoc Design REST API with an NXD_API_KEY — from curl, Python, Node, a backend, CI, or a custom agent. Use when the user wants a design generated programmatically and no NexDoc MCP tools are connected. Never publish unless asked.
