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-Nemo-Instruct-2407. Originally, it was built using the Llama 2 API provided by Clarifai.

Update (v4.0): 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 Nemo Instruct to generate the initial content of the slides. The output is generated as structured JSON data based on a pre-defined schema.
  2. Next, it uses the keywords from the JSON output to search and download a few images with a certain probability.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Every time SlideDeck AI generates a PowerPoint presentation, a download button is provided. Clicking on the button will download the file.

Known Issues

  • 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-Nemo-Instruct-2407 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. For image search, the PEXEL_API_KEY should be added. Visit the respective websites to obtain the keys.
