# Your agent lays out an artifact as a document or a deck

Documents print on A4 sheets, and decks show 16:9 slides you step through with the arrow keys.

Ask your agent for a document and it lays the artifact out on A4 sheets, portrait or landscape, that print one sheet to a page. Ask for a deck and it builds 16:9 slides you step through with the arrow keys and print one slide to a page. A dashboard keeps its flowing layout. Your agent needs a Read/write connection over the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the way your agent connects to Gatlas.
