Thoughts:

- Fun project, good for you for making it. =) Not a criticism but I'd try to get to the root of what a presentation is and explore that more fully.

- Consider shifting to integrating mind maps with AI instead. I use Mindnode and Scapple to map out my thinking, then export to Powerpoint by exporting to OPML, importing into OmniOutliner, then exporting to Powerpoint format from there. Imagine starting a new mind map, asking a question, and seeing the AI generate branching nodes, exploring possibilities not considered. You could refresh a branch by clicking on a node and asking it to generate new options. Todoist has a tool that does this for coming up with task ideas.

- And/or, explore how Amazon eschews presentations for 6-page memos focused on narrative. AI is so much smarter than Powerpoint - could you generate smarter structured thinking and use GPT-3 to generate an argument in memo form? See https://www.workingbackwards.com

- Your current product would dovetail nicely with IA Presenter, a radically simplified presentation app currently in beta. I don't think they'll have an API for it but who knows, it might give you some additional ideas. Site: https://ia.net/presenter

- One other thing -- could you make a tool that lets a user upload an existing Powerpoint and see it improved in various ways? Maybe have it load into a web UI and designate blocks for AI refreshing (e.g. images, copy), with the AI reading the existing copy or doing img2img on the graphics?

Anyway, good luck with it!
