autoppt 0.6.0

Generate Professional Presentations in Seconds using AI

AutoPPT

中文说明

Generate polished, editable PowerPoint decks from a topic, an outline, or a template.

AutoPPT is a PowerPoint-native presentation generator built for people who need real .pptx files, not a web-only slide toy. It combines LLM planning, optional research, layout-aware rendering, and template support so the output stays editable in PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides.

Why AutoPPT

• Native .pptx output that stays editable after generation
• Template-aware rendering for branded decks and repeatable formatting
• Layout planning before rendering, including richer slide types such as comparison and quote slides
• Slide-level workbench for regenerate and remix workflows
• Mock mode and offline mode for CI, demos, and local development without live API keys
