PPTAgent is an agentic framework for automatic PowerPoint presentation generation from documents. It operates as a production-grade application with CLI, web UI, Docker deployment, and an MCP server for integration with external tools like Claude and Cursor. The system uses a two-stage pipeline: analysis (induction of slide layouts and content schemas from reference presentations) and generation (editing actions via a structured API). It supports multiple generation modes—freeform (DeepPresenter) and template-based (PPTAgent)—and includes a multi-agent orchestration loop with planner, research, and design agents. The codebase is split into two packages: `pptagent` (core generation library and evaluation framework) and `deeppresenter` (production runtime with CLI, Docker, and HTML-to-PPTX conversion). While primarily an application, it has strong research roots, including academic papers at EMNLP 2025 and ACL 2026, an evaluation framework (PPTEval) for content, style, and coherence scoring, and a set of induced slide templates. The architecture is modular, with role-based agents defined in YAML, MCP-based tool servers, and a presentation data model with closure-based editing. External dependencies include OpenAI, Tavily, SerpAPI, MinerU, and Docker, making it a complex but well-structured system for automated presentation creation.
