Turns papers and code into slides, then argues with itself

Most AI slide tools invent numbers and export screenshots; this one reads your source files, builds native .pptx objects, and runs a separate critic agent to catch errors before you present.

What it does

slide-maker ingests a paper, repository, document, or raw topic and produces a fully editable .pptx through a multi-agent workflow. It plans the narrative, designs each slide with native charts and equations, and adds speaker notes and click-build animations. The result opens in PowerPoint or Keynote with every text box and shape still live.

The interesting bit

A dedicated critic agent—not the author model—reviews the draft for cramped layouts, weak contrast, and numbers that drift from the source. You choose how harsh the critique is, or skip it, only after seeing the first render. It is essentially a tiny design studio that refuses to grade its own homework.

Key highlights

  • Every figure traces back to your source; it will not invent a statistic to fill a slide.
  • Native PowerPoint output: charts, equations, shapes, and text remain editable objects rather than flattened images.
  • Supports 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, and A4 layouts, each recomposed with its own safe-zone logic.
  • Includes speaker notes and click-build animations for actual presenting.
  • Runs locally as a file; no cloud hosting, share links, or animated web backgrounds.

Caveats

  • This is a file generator, not a cloud slide editor. Interaction happens through Codex, Claude Code, or the ChatGPT GPT Store, and the output is a download, not a hosted deck.
  • The README explicitly excludes slick web transitions and zero-setup cloud sharing from its scope.

Verdict

Worth a look if you need defensible, source-traced slides in real PowerPoint format for a research talk or board update. Skip it if you want a browser-based editor with real-time collaboration and animated web backgrounds.
