## 📖 Usage
> [!IMPORTANT]
> 1. All these API keys, configurations, and services are **required**.
> 2. Agent Backbone Recommendation: Use Claude for the Research Agent and Gemini for the Design Agent. GLM-4.7 is also a good choice in open-source models.
> 3. Offline mode is supported with limited capabilities (see Offline Setup below).
### 1. Environment Configuration
- **Create configuration files** (from project root):
```bash
cp deeppresenter/deeppresenter/config.yaml.example deeppresenter/deeppresenter/config.yaml
cp deeppresenter/deeppresenter/mcp.json.example deeppresenter/deeppresenter/mcp.json
```
- **Online setup**:
- **MinerU**: Apply for an API key at [mineru.net](https://mineru.net/apiManage/docs). Note that each key is valid for 14 days.
- **Tavily**: Apply for an API key at [tavily.com](https://www.tavily.com/).
- **LLM**: Set your model endpoint, API keys, and related parameters in `config.yaml`.
- **Offline setup**:
- **MinerU**: Deploy the MinerU server by following the instructions at [MinerU docker guide](https://opendatalab.github.io/MinerU/quick_start/docker_deployment/#start-services-directly-with-docker-compose)
- **Config switch**: Set `offline_mode: true` in [`config.yaml`](deeppresenter/deeppresenter/config.yaml) to avoid loading network-dependent tools (e.g., `fetch`, `search`).
- **MinerU endpoint**: Set `MINERU_API_URL` in [`mcp.json`](deeppresenter/deeppresenter/mcp.json) to your local MinerU service URL
### 2. Service Startup
Build docker images: `docker compose build`
- **From Docker Compose**:
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
- **Running locally**:
```bash
pip install -e deeppresenter
playwright install-deps
playwright install chromium
npm install
npx playwright install chromium
python webui.py
```
> [!TIP]
> 🚀 All configurable variables can be found in [constants.py](deeppresenter/deeppresenter/utils/constants.py).

abstract = "Automatically generating presentations from documents is a challenging task that requires accommodating content quality, visual appeal, and structural coherence. Existing methods primarily focus on improving and evaluating the content quality in isolation, overlooking visual appeal and structural coherence, which limits their practical applicability. To address these limitations, we propose PPTAgent, which comprehensively improves presentation generation through a two-stage, edit-based approach inspired by human workflows. PPTAgent first analyzes reference presentations to extract slide-level functional types and content schemas, then drafts an outline and iteratively generates editing actions based on selected reference slides to create new slides. To comprehensively evaluate the quality of generated presentations, we further introduce PPTEval, an evaluation framework that assesses presentations across three dimensions: Content, Design, and Coherence. Results demonstrate that PPTAgent significantly outperforms existing automatic presentation generation methods across all three dimensions."
