Hi,

I’m currently working on a workflow (https://chatslide.ai) where I need to programmatically generate PowerPoint slides based on structured content (e.g., markdown, PDFs, or web pages). I’m aware of the Open XML SDK for manipulating .pptx files, but it feels pretty low-level for fast iteration or bulk generation.

Are there any Microsoft-supported libraries or higher-level abstractions that make this easier? Ideally something that can also handle layout decisions or apply design templates automatically?

Also curious if anyone has experience with third-party tools for this purpose.

Thanks in advance!

    Hi @Quan 

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.   

    According to your issue, I understand that you have considered to migrate another tool to streamline PowerPoint content generation  We are glad to assist you this part . As a forum moderator, I am unable to provide any suggestions or advices related to third-party tools.  However, I would recommend you to add Copilot AI into PowerPoint as it can help you to generate the PowerPoint content. 

    To add it in PowerPoint, you will need to reach some requirements:
