In simple English
This tool creates professional slide decks from short text descriptions. It works as a self-hosted alternative to online slide builders. You type a topic and the system writes an outline, picks a theme, and builds the slides. It runs on your own server and connects to cloud AI providers or local models. You need a PostgreSQL database, Node.js, and API keys to make it work.
What it is
