AI Presentation Maker

AI Presentation Maker turns long-form source material into fully designed slide decks. Paste a research paper, meeting notes, strategy memo, or rough outline, choose a format and visual direction, and the app generates a presentation with narrative structure, themed slides, editing tools, presentation mode, and PDF export.

This repo ships the full web application: authenticated dashboard, real-time generation flow, editable slide previews, Cloudflare R2 asset storage, and a two-stage AI pipeline that separates presentation planning from final slide rendering.

What It Does

• Converts raw source material into complete presentations instead of filling a template.
• Supports two deck styles: Presenter Slides for live delivery and Detailed Deck for standalone reading.
• Uses a two-stage AI pipeline:
  • a reasoning model plans the narrative, slide structure, and design theme
  • an image model renders each slide as a complete visual composition
• Tracks generation progress in real time with per-slide status.
• Lets users regenerate slides with natural-language edit instructions and undo changes.
• Exports completed decks as landscape PDFs.
• Includes fullscreen presentation mode for live delivery.
