AI Presentation Workflow

Create professional presentations: Content → Design → Build → Assembly → Polish.

Step 0: Choose Workflow Settings

At the start of every presentation task, ask the user TWO choices:

0-A. Collaboration Mode

Mode	Description	Checkpoints
Full Auto	Minimal interaction. Confirm topic only, deliver final PPTX.	1 checkpoint
Guided (recommended)	Confirm outline, pick design, preview before assembly.	3 checkpoints
Collaborative	Review every slide, approve every illustration, full control.	Per-slide

If the user doesn't specify, default to Guided mode.

0-B. Assembly Method

Method	How it works	Best for
Editable HTML (Path A)	HTML slides + selective AI illustrations → html2pptx → editable PPTX	Need to edit text later, precise layout, corporate decks
Full AI Visual (Path B)	Every slide as a complete AI-generated image → create_slides.py → image PPTX	Maximum visual impact, artistic presentations, quick drafts

Trade-offs:

	Path A: Editable HTML	Path B: Full AI Visual
Text	Editable in PPT	Baked into image (not editable)
Visual quality	Good with illustrations	Excellent, cohesive design
Layout control	Pixel-precise	AI-interpreted
File size	Smaller (~5-25MB)	Larger (~30-80MB)
Chinese text	Perfect (font rendering)	Usually good (AI may occasionally misrender)
Speed	Faster (HTML creation)	Slower (image generation per slide)

If the user doesn't specify, default to Path A (Editable HTML).

Turn raw material into a slide-by-slide outline.
