Present

AI presentation generator with prompt-to-slides, government templates, and PPTX/PDF export with Arabic RTL support.

Overview

Anar Present generates professional presentations from natural language prompts. Describe the presentation you need -- topic, audience, number of slides, and language -- and Present produces a structured slide deck with titles, content, and layout recommendations. Slides can be edited individually, reviewed with comments, and exported to PPTX or PDF.

Government organizations produce presentations constantly: ministerial briefings, budget proposals, project updates, strategy decks, and compliance reports. Present eliminates the blank-page problem by generating structured first drafts that teams can refine, brand, and deliver.

Key Capabilities

Prompt-to-Slides

Provide a natural language prompt describing the presentation topic, and Present generates a complete slide deck. The AI structures the content into logical sections with appropriate slide types (title, content, comparison, data, conclusion).

AI Slide Editing

After generation, individual slides can be refined via natural language instructions. Tell the AI to "add a comparison table between Q3 and Q4 budgets" or "make the conclusion more action-oriented" and the slide content updates accordingly. Supports both single-slide and batch editing operations.

Template System

Upload and manage PPTX templates that define the visual identity for generated presentations. Government organizations can maintain branded templates with official logos, color schemes, and layout standards.

Collaboration with Comments

Team members can add comments to specific slides, enabling review workflows before final export. Comments are scoped to individual slides and optionally to specific elements.

Statistics Dashboard

Track presentation generation metrics including total presentations created, slide counts, export volumes, and usage trends over time.

Batch Operations

Delete multiple presentations in a single operation. Duplicate existing presentations as starting points for new decks, preserving slide content and template assignments.

PPTX and PDF Export

Export presentations as native PowerPoint files (PPTX) for further editing, or as PDF for distribution. Both formats support Arabic right-to-left content with proper text alignment and layout.

Architecture

Present runs a FastAPI backend on port 8011 and a Vite+React dashboard on port 3014.

The backend handles slide generation (LLM-powered content structuring), template management, comment storage, and export rendering. PPTX generation uses python-pptx with the Midnight Gold theme. PDF rendering converts the slide deck for distribution.

Slide Limits

Presentations can contain between 1 and 30 slides. The default is 8 slides per generation.

Quick Start

cd present/backend
uv sync
uv run uvicorn anar_present.main:app --reload --port 8011

Generate a presentation:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8011/api/v1/presentations/generate \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "Government AI adoption strategy for 2025, covering current state, key initiatives, budget requirements, and implementation timeline",
    "slide_count": 10,
    "language": "en"
  }'

Dashboard

The Present dashboard provides:

  • Presentations -- Browse, search, and manage all generated presentations with batch delete
  • Editor -- Slide-by-slide view with AI-powered editing and comment threads
  • Templates -- Upload and manage branded PPTX templates with duplicate support
  • Statistics -- Generation metrics, export counts, and usage trends
  • Export -- Download presentations as PPTX or PDF with format options

Observability

Present is instrumented with OpenTelemetry via anar_shared.setup_otel(). When OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT is set, traces, logs, and metrics are exported to the OTel Collector.

MCP Server

Present exposes a Model Context Protocol server at /mcp via FastApiMCP, enabling AI assistants to generate presentations, manage templates, and export slides programmatically.

Gateway Integration

When GATEWAY_URL is set, Present routes LLM calls through Anar Gateway for unified cost tracking and safety scanning.

Test Suite

237 tests across 22 endpoints cover slide generation, AI slide editing, template management, batch delete, duplicate, comments, statistics, PPTX/PDF export, and API endpoints.
