Usage 📖

[!IMPORTANT]

1. All these API keys, configurations, and services are required.
2. Agent Backbone Recommendation: Use Claude for the Research Agent and Gemini for the Design Agent. GLM-5 is also a good choice in open-source models.
3. Offline mode is supported with limited capabilities (see Offline Setup below).

Quick Start with CLI 🚀

DeepPresenter now provides a command-line interface for easy usage:

# Install `uv` for package management
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Interactive configuration (first time)
uvx pptagent onboard

# Generate presentation
uvx pptagent generate "Single Page with Title: Hello World" -o hello.pptx

# With attachments and options
uvx pptagent generate "Q4 Report" \
  -f data.xlsx \
  -f charts.pdf \
  -p "10-12" \
  -o report.pptx

CLI Commands:

• pptagent onboard - Interactive configuration wizard
• pptagent generate - Generate presentations
• pptagent config - View current configuration
• pptagent reset - Reset configuration

Options:

• -f, --file - Attachment files (multiple allowed)
• -p, --pages - Number of pages (e.g., "8" or "5-10")
• -a, --aspect - Aspect ratio (16:9, 4:3, A1, A3, A2, A4)
• -l, --lang - Language (en/zh)
• -o, --output - Output directory

---

1. Environment Configuration

• Create configuration files (from project root):

  cp deeppresenter/deeppresenter/config.yaml.example deeppresenter/deeppresenter/config.yaml
  cp deeppresenter/deeppresenter/mcp.json.example deeppresenter/deeppresenter/mcp.json
  

• Online setup:

  • MinerU: Apply for an API key at mineru.net. Note that each key is valid for 14 days.
  • Tavily: Apply for an API key at tavily.com.
  • LLM: Set your model endpoint, API keys, and related parameters in config.yaml.

• Offline setup:

  • MinerU: Deploy the MinerU server by following the instructions at MinerU docker guide
  • Config switch: Set offline_mode: true in config.yaml to avoid loading network-dependent tools (e.g., fetch, search).
  • MinerU endpoint: Set MINERU_API_URL in mcp.json to your local MinerU service URL

2. Service Startup

Build docker images: docker compose build

• From Docker Compose:

  docker compose up -d
  

• Running locally:

  cd deeppresenter
  uv pip install -e .
  playwright install-deps
  playwright install chromium
  npm install
  npx playwright install chromium
  python webui.py
  

[!TIP] 🚀 All configurable variables can be found in constants.py.

Case Study 💡

• Prompt: Please present the given document to me.

• Prompt: 请介绍小米 SU7 的外观和价格

• Prompt: 请制作一份高中课堂展示课件，主题为“解码立法过程：理解其对国际关系的影响”

    abstract = "Automatically generating presentations from documents is a challenging task that requires accommodating content quality, visual appeal, and structural coherence. Existing methods primarily focus on improving and evaluating the content quality in isolation, overlooking visual appeal and structural coherence, which limits their practical applicability. To address these limitations, we propose PPTAgent, which comprehensively improves presentation generation through a two-stage, edit-based approach inspired by human workflows. PPTAgent first analyzes reference presentations to extract slide-level functional types and content schemas, then drafts an outline and iteratively generates editing actions based on selected reference slides to create new slides. To comprehensively evaluate the quality of generated presentations, we further introduce PPTEval, an evaluation framework that assesses presentations across three dimensions: Content, Design, and Coherence. Results demonstrate that PPTAgent significantly outperforms existing automatic presentation generation methods across all three dimensions."
