The SlideSpeak AI agent skill provides a robust interface for interacting with the SlideSpeak API, allowing users to automate the creation, modification, and management of PowerPoint presentations directly from within the OpenClaw environment. By leveraging text inputs or existing documents, the skill transforms complex information into structured, professional slide decks. It manages the entire lifecycle of presentation generation, including document parsing, template selection, and final file retrieval. The skill is designed to handle asynchronous processing, ensuring that even lengthy presentations are generated reliably while providing flexibility for either immediate feedback or background execution.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/mve/slidespeak. Before running the commands, ensure you have an active API key from SlideSpeak. Store this key in your environment variables as SLIDESPEAK_API_KEY to enable the script to authenticate your requests automatically.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for professionals needing to convert dense technical documentation or research reports into concise summaries for stakeholders. It is also highly effective for educators generating lecture materials from raw text notes, marketers creating pitch decks from project briefings, and developers who need to generate recurring status update presentations. Whether you are working with Markdown files, Word documents, or simple text prompts, SlideSpeak automates the layout and design workflow.
Example Prompts
- "Use the uploaded project_plan.docx to create a 10-slide professional presentation summarizing the Q3 milestones."
- "Create a 5-slide educational presentation about the history of artificial intelligence, keep the tone concise."
- "Generate a sales pitch presentation based on the text I provided, using the 'corporate-blue' template."
Tips & Limitations
- Timing: Presentation generation typically takes 30-60 seconds. For larger files, the script handles polling automatically, but you can use the
--no-waitflag if you prefer to perform other tasks while the generation runs in the background. - Templates: Always run
node scripts/slidespeak.mjs templatesto see available branding options before generating, as specific templates can significantly improve the aesthetic quality of the output. - Formats: The tool supports a wide range of formats including PDF, DOCX, and XLSX; ensure your files are formatted clearly to improve slide content quality.
- API Limits: Be mindful of your SlideSpeak tier limits when batch-generating multiple presentations simultaneously.
