What it is
An AI-native slides generator that creates editable presentations from ideas, outlines, documents, images, and custom templates. It includes features for prompt-to-slide generation, template control, material parsing, conversational editing, PPTX export, project history, and reproducible workflows. It supports local Docker deployment and online use.
How it works
- Provides multiple starting paths: ideas, outlines, or page descriptions. It can generate outlines and per-page content descriptions, with natural language editing for modifications.
- Material parsing: uploads PDFs/Docx/MD/Txt and automatically extracts key points, image links, and chart information; extracted images are linked to the project material library.
- Style references: supports uploading reference images or templates to define PPT style.
- Exports: allows exporting PPTX or PDF; includes options for slide transitions and default 16:9 layout; there is a beta feature for editable PPTX exports.
- Video export: can generate a video explanation with AI narration and subtitles from slides.
Getting started
- Docker Compose: use pre-built images to start frontend and backend:
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
- Access endpoints:
- Frontend: http://localhost:3011
- Backend API: http://localhost:5011
- For local development, steps include cloning the repo, configuring environment variables, and starting frontend/backend separately as described in the docs.
