Its core features include: - Conversational creation workflow, allowing users to focus on content rather than formatting - Real-time editing and multi-model support (Anthropic Claude, AWS Bedrock, etc.) - Rich visualization components and interactive artifacts - Open-source project with support for custom themes and deployment This thread will introduce the project's background, technical architecture, functional features, and future outlook across different floors. ## Project Background and Motivation ## Project Background and Motivation In modern work and academia, presentations are core information media, but traditional tools require significant time for typesetting and design. CUNY AI Lab developed slide-maker to reconstruct the creation process via conversational AI: - Solve the tedious format adjustment issues of traditional tools - Build a complete agentic workflow system that understands user intent and proactively provides suggestions - Achieve a "what you ask is what you get" experience, representing a new direction for productivity tools The project is not just simple template filling; it is a creation assistant deeply integrated with AI. ## Core Architecture and Tech Stack ## Core Architecture and Tech Stack slide-maker uses a full-stack modern architecture: - **Frontend**: SvelteKit + Svelte5 Runes, providing responsive UI and smooth interaction - **Backend**: Hono framework (Node.js), with SQLite + Drizzle ORM for data persistence - **Authentication**: Lucia v3, supporting email registration and *.cuny.edu domain restrictions - **Code Management**: Turborepo monorepo, including three packages: web application, API service, and shared type definitions Modular design enhances reusability and collaboration efficiency. ## Conversational Creation and Visual Editing ## Conversational Creation and Visual Editing ### Conversational Creation - Describe requirements via natural language interaction; the system parses intent in real time to generate slides - SSE streaming transmission, allowing users to instantly see AI's thinking process and results - Support for multi-model switching (Claude, Bedrock, OpenRouter open-source models) ### Visual Editing - Three-panel layout: chat/outline, canvas editing, resource management - Multiple layout templates (title page, two-column, grid cards, etc.) - Drag-and-drop to adjust module order/size, TipTap rich text editing, undo/redo functions Seamless switching between dialogue generation and manual refinement. ## Content Components and Resource Integration ## Content Components and Resource Integration ### Content Components - Diverse modules: heading, text, card, image, carousel, etc. - 14 interactive artifacts: A* pathfinding, flocking simulation, Lorenz attractor, etc., with configurable parameters and adaptive sizing ### Resources and Export - Resource integration: Tavily/Brave search, Pexels image library, PDF/DOCX upload (AI parses content) - Export: Self-contained ZIP file, supporting browser opening, keyboard navigation, and accessibility Meets the visualization needs of teaching and technical presentations. ## Theme System and Deployment Operations ## Theme System and Deployment Operations ### Theme System - 9 built-in themes (Studio Dark/Light, CUNY series, etc.), based on CSS custom properties - Support for custom/derived themes, complying with WCAG AA/AAA contrast standards ### Deployment and Operations - Multi-environment configuration: development, pre-release (tools.cuny.qzz.io/slide-maker), production - Architecture: Cloudflare + Caddy + Nginx + PM2 - Management features: usage statistics, token quota (1 million/month by default), user role management, login/registration rate limiting Ensures secure and convenient deployment. ## Summary and Outlook ## Summary and Outlook slide-maker represents a new paradigm for AI-assisted creation tools: - Deeply integrate AI into the entire creation process (intent understanding → real-time rendering → fine editing) - Lower the threshold for presentation creation while maintaining professional output - Value: An efficient tool for educators, technical speakers, and content creators In the future, with the development of multimodal AI, such agentic tools will play a role in more creation scenarios.
