We will create an AI tool to convert PDFs into PowerPoint slides using Python, Celery, and python-pptx.
The tool's architecture is inspired by SlideSpeak, an AI tool for creating slides from PDFs.
The tech stack includes FastAPI, Celery, Redis, python-pptnx, PyPDF2, OpenAI API, Docker, and Docker Compose.
The project structure involves backend, Celery tasks, and configuration files.
Steps include environment setup, configuration, data model definition, AI slide generation logic, Celery setup, task creation, PDF processing, and FastAPI updates.
The application can handle PDF uploads, extract text, generate presentations using OpenAI, and provide download functionality.
Containerization with Docker includes passing the OpenAI API key.
Benefits of the setup include separation of concerns, asynchronous processing, containerization, and type safety.
Extensions to the project can include adding more slide types, data visualization integration, or template management.
The complete code for this project is available on GitHub for further reference.
