# PPTAgent: Generating and Evaluating Presentations Beyond Text-to-Slides

Paper   |   OpenSource   |   Documentation   |   DeepWiki   |   Citation

We present PPTAgent, an innovative system that automatically generates presentations from documents. Drawing inspiration from human presentation creation methods, our system employs a two-step process to ensure excellence in overall quality. Additionally, we introduce **PPTEval**, a comprehensive evaluation framework that assesses presentations across multiple dimensions. > [!TIP] > Get started quickly with our pre-built Docker image - [See Docker instructions](DOC.md/#docker-) ## News - [2025/09]: ️ We support MCP server now, see [MCP Server](./DOC.md#mcp-server-) for details - [2025/09]: Released v2 with major improvements - see [release notes](https://github.com/icip-cas/PPTAgent/releases/tag/v0.2.0) for details - [2025/08]: Paper accepted to **EMNLP 2025**! - [2025/05]: Released v1 with core functionality and breakthrough: reached 1,000 stars on GitHub! - see [release notes](https://github.com/icip-cas/PPTAgent/releases/tag/v0.1.0) for details - [2025/01]: Open-sourced the codebase, with experimental code archived at [experiment release](https://github.com/icip-cas/PPTAgent/releases/tag/experiment) ## Open Source We have released our model and data at [HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/collections/ICIP/pptagent-68b80af43b4f4e0cb14d0bb2). ## Demo Video https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c3935a98-4d2b-4c46-9b36-e7c598d14863 ## Distinctive Features - **Dynamic Content Generation**: Creates slides with seamlessly integrated text and images - **Smart Reference Learning**: Leverages existing presentations without requiring manual annotation - **Comprehensive Quality Assessment**: Evaluates presentations through multiple quality metrics ## Case Study - #### [Iphone 16 Pro](https://www.apple.com/iphone-16-pro/) - #### [Build Effective Agents](https://www.anthropic.com/research/building-effective-agents) ## PPTAgent PPTAgent follows a two-phase approach: 1. **Analysis Phase**: Extracts and learns from patterns in reference presentations 2. **Generation Phase**: Develops structured outlines and produces visually cohesive slides Our system's workflow is illustrated below:  ## PPTEval ️ PPTEval evaluates presentations across three dimensions: - **Content**: Check the accuracy and relevance of the slides. - **Design**: Assesses the visual appeal and consistency. - **Coherence**: Ensures the logical flow of ideas. The workflow of PPTEval is shown below:
