| # SlideDeck AI | |
| We spend a lot of time on creating the slides and organizing our thoughts for any presentation. | |
| With SlideDeck AI, co-create slide decks on any topic with Generative Artificial Intelligence. | |
| Describe your topic and let SlideDeck AI generate a PowerPoint slide deck for you—it's as simple as that! | |
| SlideDeck AI is powered by [Mistral 7B Instruct](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2). | |
| Originally, it was built using the Llama 2 API provided by Clarifai. | |
| *Update*: Legacy SlideDeck AI allowed one-shot generation of a slide deck based on the inputs. | |
| In contrast, SlideDeck AI *Reloaded* enables an iterative workflow with a conversational interface, | |
| where you can create and improve the presentation. | |
| # Process | |
| SlideDeck AI works in the following way: | |
| 1. Given a topic description, it uses Mistral 7B Instruct to generate the *initial* content of the slides. | |
| The output is generated as structured JSON data based on a pre-defined schema. | |
| 2. Subsequently, it uses the `python-pptx` library to generate the slides, | |
| based on the JSON data from the previous step. | |
| A user can choose from a set of three pre-defined presentation templates. | |
| 3. At this stage onward, a user can provide additional instructions to refine the content. | |
| For example, one can ask to add another slide or modify an existing slide. | |
| A history of instructions is maintained. | |
| 4. Every time SlideDeck AI generates a PowerPoint presentation, a download button is provided. | |
| Clicking on the button will download the file. | |
| # Known Issues | |
| - **Incorrect JSON**: Sometimes the JSON generated could be syntactically incorrect. | |
| You can try asking SlideDeck AI to regenerate the content and fix the JSON syntax error. | |
| This, however, is not guaranteed to work. The alternative is to reload the website and try again. | |
| - **Connection timeout**: Requests sent to the Hugging Face Inference endpoint might time out. | |
| A maximum of five retries are attempted. If it still does not work, wait for a while and try again. | |
| The following is not an issue but might appear as a strange behavior: | |
| - **Cannot paste text in the input box**: If the length of the copied text is greater than the maximum | |
| number of allowed characters in the textbox, pasting would not work. | |
| # Local Development | |
| SlideDeck AI uses [Mistral 7B Instruct](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2) | |
| via the Hugging Face Inference API. | |
| To run this project by yourself, you need to provide the `HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN` API key, | |
| for example, in a `.env` file. Visit the respective websites to obtain the keys. | |
