Bisque Presentations

Publish an HTML page or a Markdown document as a Bisque Artifact: a persistent, versioned page at a stable URL that people can open, comment on, and that you can update later with update_artifact. Pass the whole document as content. The call waits for the page to be ready and returns its URL. It is private to you unless you pass audience or share_with. A page that should remember what people do on it (a checklist, a poll, a sign-up sheet) declares capabilities ['state.read','state.write'] and, when some paths need different access, state.rules; it then reads and writes JSON documents through window.bisque.state. For a narrated presentation use create_presentation instead.

Leave a new comment thread on one of your Artifacts, as the agent. Without an anchor the thread is a general comment on the page. The thread is activated from the start, so you can reply to it and resolve it later. Mention a person with @[Name](mention:uid) using ids from the Artifact's mentionables.

Generate a narrated presentation from an html-presentation/v1 document. BEFORE authoring, call get_presentation_spec and follow it exactly — slides without its narration markup publish SILENT. Returns a presentationId and the watch URL. Narration runs in the background and the inline player tracks it on its own, so reply to the user as soon as this returns and do not call get_presentation_status unless the user asks whether it is done.

Delete an Artifact you own. Its URL stops working for everyone. Confirm with the user before calling this.

Read one Artifact: title, who can open it, the Version viewers see (published_version_id, null while a publication is still being prepared), and its URL.

Read one comment thread on an Artifact with every message, oldest first. Mentions in a body look like @[Name](mention:uid); a mention of the agent is @[Agent](mention:agent).

Watch analytics for one of your presentations: views, likes, completion rate, per-slide retention funnel, traffic sources, distinct signed-in/anonymous viewers, and organization email domains (personal providers filtered). Lets an agent read how its own published briefings performed.

Load any shared Bisque presentation for reading: its metadata, the full per-slide narration transcript with timestamps, and the context.md file its author shipped for agents (extra background the slides summarize). Target it by watch URL (https://bisque.today/p/{handle}/{slug}) or by handle + slug — it does not have to be yours. Use this to read, summarize, cite, or answer questions about a presentation: ground your answers in the returned transcript and context, and cite slides as [slide N].

Fetch the html-presentation/v1 authoring contract: document structure, the dual landscape/vertical layout rule, and the narration markup that makes slides speak. Call this BEFORE authoring for create_presentation — documents written without it publish with missing audio.

Fetch the build state and result URL for a presentationId.

List the comment threads people left on one of your Artifacts, newest activity first. Pass activated_only: true to get only the threads where someone mentioned the agent, which are the ones you may reply to and resolve. Each thread carries its anchor (what it is pinned to), the version it was left on, a preview, and agent_activated.

List Artifacts you own (scope owned, the default), ones shared with you (shared), or both (all), newest first. Each item carries its id, title, who can open it, and its URL.

List the authenticated user's presentations, newest first. One call returns at most `limit` of them. A non-null `nextCursor` in the response means more presentations remain: call again with `cursor` set to that value to get the page after this one, and keep going until `nextCursor` is null.

DEPRECATED: call create_presentation with an `audio` array instead — it is the same thing in one call, and the slides are viewable while the narration lands. Publish an html-presentation/v1 document using audio YOU synthesized locally (e.g. with `bisque-voice`) — free, unlimited, and works on macOS, Linux and Windows. Send each narrated slide's word timings and MP3 metadata; the server assembles presentation.json (recomputing cues from your narration markers) and returns one upload URL per MP3. Then PUT each file and POST the returned completeUrl with the returned `files` array. RE-PUBLISHING: `audio` is optional — any narrated slide you omit reuses the audio from the last publish whenever its narration text and speechSpeed are unchanged, so an HTML-only edit needs no synthesis at all. The response reports `reused`, `synthesized`, and `staleSlides` (narrated slides whose text changed and have no audio — synthesize exactly those and publish again). Use create_presentation instead to have the server narrate.

Post a reply in a comment thread as the agent. Allowed only on activated threads (agent_activated true): someone mentioned the agent, or the agent started the thread. People see it as "Agent · via <your name>".

Mark a comment thread resolved (resolved: true) or reopen it (resolved: false), as the agent. Allowed only on activated threads. Resolve after you have addressed the comment, usually after republishing the Artifact; reply first so the person can see what changed.

Set who can open an Artifact you own. audience picks the rule; share_with is the complete list of named people (it replaces the previous list; omit it to keep the current one). Going public deletes every comment thread, so a public change on an Artifact with threads is refused unless delete_threads is true. Returns the URL to send.

Change an Artifact you own or edit. Pass content to publish a new Version of the page at the same URL (the whole document, not a diff; earlier Versions stay in the history). Pass title, description, icon, or icon_image to change those. Any combination in one call. With content the call waits for the new Version to be live before returning. The new Version keeps the base Version's capabilities and state rules unless you pass capabilities or state.

Update one of your channels. Set the description — the line a stranger reads in a search result or a link unfurl, at most 160 characters, empty to clear it and go back to naming the newest presentations. Set the avatar from an image URL, which is fetched, center-cropped square and resized. Pass either or both. Omit handle to use your default channel.
