PrezPal

Inspiration

We needed a fast, intuitive and a generative-AI powered presentation tool that would enhance productivity.

What it does

Dynamically edits, styles and generates a slides presentation about whichever topic you need. The edits can be controlled verbally.

How we built it

• React app
• Polling: between Client-Server Architecture
• OpenAI API
• Function Calling: interfaces between NL and functional requests.
• Unsplash for pics
• Frontend: JS, CSS
• Backend: Python
• 2 AI models: Natural Language Processing (OpenAI API), Automatic Speech Recognition (Moonshine)

Challenges we ran into

• Turning the natural language into Function Calls.
• Setting up the pipeline: failure in setting up the WebSockets resulted in resorting to Polling.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Encorporating mulitple powerpoint editing functionalities into our custom editing engine.
• Learned new technologies: Natural Language Processing, Automatic Speech Recongnition using Moonshine.

What we learned

• The sensitivities in natural language processing.
• Utilizing LLM (OpenAI): Function Calling to interface between the Natural Language and Functional Requests.

What's next for PrezPal

• Having several presentations.
• Full transcript.
• Different layout templates
• Stronger Natural Language filtering
• Adding Latex to improve the accuracy of the slide layout.
