The problem PresentX solves
Problem Statement: What Problem Does PresentX Solve?
"Presentations", Creating presentations takes a lot of time and work. People need to research, organize content, make slides, and ensure everything looks good.
Professionals, educators, content creators, and students will gain the most from this project as normally they face issues like :-
Time Crunch: Making a well-organized presentation by hand can take hours when juggling multiple tasks.
Content Organization Struggles: Many users find it hard to sum up main points . This leads to messy or disjointed slides.
Tricky Design: Not everyone has the skills to arrange slides, pick templates, and keep a presentation looking consistent.
Research Hurdles: Finding relevant info looking it over, and making sure it's right can be tough when deadlines are tight.
Creating Speaker Notes: Most presenters find it hard to write clear and useful notes to go with their presentations.
How PresentX Solves These Issues
PresentX lets users create a full well-formatted PowerPoint presentation in minutes by automating the entire process with AI-driven content creation and slide arrangement.
It cuts down slide-making time by producing structured content quickly, a task that could take days to do by hand.
It arranges info in a way that boosts understanding and keeps people interested.
It gets rid of the need to format manually by following pro design rules.
It gives AI-generated speaker notes to help with smooth delivery.
It offers easy tweaking, so users can change the created content as needed.
PresentX turns presentation creation into a simple, quick, and clever process letting users zero in on making good presentations instead of spending ages on them.
Challenges we ran into
Creating PresentX was no easy task. The idea seemed great, but making it work proved challenging. Let's look at some of the main issues we faced:
Getting a Free and Dependable Language Model
At first, we thought about using OpenAI's GPT models. But even their "free" options needed payment info, which didn't work for our student project. We searched a lot and found a website name Hugging face, we tried some AI models like Falcon 7B and LLaMA 2, but none of them workout for me as they were not trained to make structured keypoints, I kept on trying and found Mistral 7B on Hugging Face—a strong open-source model with a free API that didn't need any payment setup and it aligned as per our minimum requirements for this project. This find helped us keep the project free and easy to use.
Making Slides Look Good in PowerPoint
Turning AI-made content into neat pro-looking PowerPoint slides was harder than we thought. It took a lot of work and testing to code things like text box layout keeping slides consistent, and handling design parts.
Building a Working Backend
Linking the user interface to the AI system, processing user data, and delivering downloadable slideshows through a streamlined portal needed a strong backend. Designing this component from the ground up with limited time, proved to be a significant hurdle.
Dependency Clashes
While meshing together different libraries and frameworks for stuff like AI creation jazzing up PowerPoint, and running websites, we hit a bunch of dependency clashes. They messed us up more than a couple of times. Getting everything straight without messing up code that worked already needed a cool head and some serious problem-solving skills.
Sprucing Up the Web Page Look
And man, making the front-end UI look slick and easy to use was its own beast. Putting together a solid CSS that didn't seem ancient and worked on all kinds of gadgets—yeah, that was tough and ate up a lot of hours.
