PPt Slide Layout Creator and Presentation Creation
Description
The project focuses on generating presentation slides by leveraging ideas created by a large language model (Claude 3.5 Sonnet in this case). The process involves the user answering a series of questions, which are then provided as input to the LLM to generate content for the slides. The script also generates the number of slides and the layout of the slides as required as per the idea.
Problem Statement
Creating a professional and visually appealing presentation can be challenging due to the need for efficient slide design and content management. Key issues include determining the optimal number of slides to effectively convey the ideas, designing charts and figures tailored to each topic, and ensuring the seamless integration of text and images within slide layouts without overlapping or exceeding boundaries. Additionally, generating fresh and relevant ideas for new topics in the presentation requires creativity and a structured approach to maintain coherence and engagement.
Solution
To address the challenges in creating professional and impactful presentations, we are leveraging Claude Sonnet 3.5 to automate and optimize the process. The solution provides the following features :
- Idea Generation and PDF Creation : Automatically generate creative and relevant ideas based on the topics specified by the user and compile the output into a PDF document.
- Slide Creation with Proper Layouts : Design well-structured slides with layouts that align ideas with the slide titles, ensuring clarity and professionalism.
- Speaker Notes Integration : Include detailed speaker notes for each slide to aid presenters in effectively communicating their ideas.
- Visual Recommendations : Offer tailored visual recommendations for every slide, including charts, figures, and graphics, to enhance engagement and understanding.
- Empathy Walk Section : Incorporate an "Empathy Walk" segment in the slides to represent the underlying purpose and perspective behind the content, fostering a deeper connection with the audience.

Hosting
The project was deployed on AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) to manage the application in a containerized environment. The workflow for hosting and updating the web app was as follows:
1. Code Management in GitHub Repository -
- The application’s source code was maintained in a GitHub repository to ensure version control and collaborative development.
- Any changes or updates to the application were committed and pushed to the repository, ensuring a centralized and organized codebase.
2. Containerization with Docker -
- The application was containerized using Docker, encapsulating all dependencies, libraries, and the runtime environment required to run the web app.
- A Dockerfile in the GitHub repository defined the image-building process for the application.
3. Hosting on AWS ECS -
- The Docker image was built and stored in the Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) or another compatible registry.
- AWS ECS managed the deployment of the containerized application, providing scalability, reliability, and simplified management.
4. Applying Changes via Container Redeployment -
- Whenever updates were made to the codebase in the GitHub repository, a new Docker image was built to include the changes.
- This updated image was pushed to the container registry.
- The ECS service was updated to pull the latest image and redeploy the application, ensuring the changes were applied seamlessly.
5. Monitoring and Logging -
- The ECS deployment was monitored using Amazon CloudWatch, ensuring visibility into application performance and detecting potential issues in real time.
