Pi PPT Generation

Functionality

1. Generate PPTs using the PI (Presentation Intelligence) API.

Setup

1. API Key: Ensure the PIPPT_BASE_URL, PIPPT_APP_ID and PIPPT_APP_SECRET environment variables are set with your valid API key. You can obtain API key from the PI website: https://www.pi.inc/ .
2. Environment: The API key should be available in the runtime environment.

Generate a PPT

Run the following script:

PIPPT_BASE_URL=xxx PIPPT_APP_ID=xxx PIPPT_APP_SECRET=xxx python3 scripts/generate_pi_ppt.py --content  --language --cards --file

Input arguments: content(str, required): Topic and description, for example: "Create a PPT introducing Chinese GPU vendors in a formal business style." cards(int, optional): Expected number of slides, for example 10. Default is 8. If you generate a PPT from an uploaded document, do not specify cards because the slide count is determined by the document content. language(str, required): Target language of the PPT. 'zh' for Chinese, 'en' for English. Default is 'zh'. file(str, optional): Path to the document to upload, for example: "/Users/jack/download/weekly_report_20250304.doc". Supported file types: .doc/.docx/.txt/.md/.pdf/.pptx/.ppt. Other file types are not supported. Only one document can be uploaded.

Complete command examples:

Generate from an uploaded document (slide count is determined by content, do not pass --cards):

PIPPT_BASE_URL=xxx PIPPT_APP_ID=xxx PIPPT_APP_SECRET=xxx python3 scripts/generate_pi_ppt.py \
  --content "Generate a well-structured business report PPT based on the attached document" \
  --language zh \
  --file "/Users/YourName/Documents/quarterly_review.docx"

Generate from a one-line prompt / topic (you can specify slide count):

PIPPT_BASE_URL=xxx PIPPT_APP_ID=xxx PIPPT_APP_SECRET=xxx python3 scripts/generate_pi_ppt.py \
  --content "Create a PPT introducing Chinese GPU vendors in a formal business style" \
  --language zh \
  --cards 10

Notes

• Generating one PPT usually takes about 3-6 minutes. Please remind users to be patient.
