Official skill for OpenMAIC, Tsinghua THU-MAIC's open-source multi-agent classroom: from a topic or PDF it generates a full lesson with slides, quizzes, interactive simulations, project-based learning and AI teacher narration. Use a hosted access code, or self-host with an LLM API key.

Unofficial Python library and CLI for driving Google NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook): bulk-import sources, ask cited questions, and generate and download podcasts, videos, slides, quizzes and flashcards. Ships an agent skill. Relies on undocumented APIs and needs a Google sign-in.

Rewrites an article or script as narration, then builds a click-through 16:9 web presentation you can screen-record into an explainer video, with optional synthesized voiceover. Good for lessons, YouTube tutorials and product walkthroughs. Needs Node.js; voiceover needs a MiniMax or OpenAI key.

Open-source AI presentation generator that builds slides from a topic or uploaded documents and exports PPTX or PDF, with a built-in MCP endpoint for agents. Good for lesson decks and reports. Self-host with Docker and configure an LLM API key, then have an admin create an MCP key.

Turns outlines or scripts into web slides that present in the browser (not .pptx files), with 36 themes and 15 full deck templates; press S for presenter mode with script and timer. Good for lessons, training and reports. Plain local files; no account or API key needed.

Turns articles, reports, papers or notes into a .pptx of full-slide images with speaker notes, in 12 styles such as lectures and thesis defenses; slide text is not editable. Needs Python 3; uses Codex's built-in image generation, or an OpenAI-compatible image API key in Claude Code.

Unofficial nlm CLI and MCP server for NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook): bulk-create notebooks, import web pages and docs, and generate audio overviews, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps and slides for teaching and study. Relies on undocumented APIs and a Google sign-in, so it may break.

From ISCAS's Chinese Information Processing Lab: Claude Code or Codex write slides from your brief, render each page to check layout, and export an editable PPTX, for lectures and academic talks. Needs macOS, Linux or WSL with Python (uv), npm and LibreOffice; install per the README.

Econometrician Pedro Sant'Anna's academic Claude Code setup (fork the repo to use it): Beamer/Quarto lecture slides, paper review and mock refereeing, R/Python analysis and replication packages, with specialist subagents and quality gates. Needs Git and Python; slides need XeLaTeX and Quarto.

Turns a paper (arXiv link or PDF) into method diagrams, slides with a generated image per page (PPTX/PDF export) and an in-depth HTML explainer with formulas, for lab meetings and lectures. No API key; images use Codex's built-in generator or, in Claude Code, a separate image skill.

Builds conference talks, lab meeting decks, defenses, lectures and grant reports to academic norms: assertion-style titles, slides ordered by the argument, one cited chart per results slide, and a closing conclusions slide. Pair with Anthropic's pptx skill; on claude.ai, enable code execution.

Turns Manim animations into step-through slide decks: mark slide breaks in scene code, render, then present with manim-slides or export to HTML, PDF or PPTX, for math and science classes and talks. Scenes are Python (agents can write them); needs Manim, plus LaTeX for formulas.

AI agents collaborate via the ADDIE instructional design model: enter a course name to get a syllabus, LaTeX slides, lecture scripts and assessments, convertible to editable PPTX. Open-source code for an EACL 2026 paper; needs an OpenAI API key, LaTeX for PDFs and Node.js for PPTX.

Write a script, speakers and visuals in MulmoScript (JSON or YAML) and the mulmo command generates narration and images and assembles a video, podcast, slide deck or PDF, for explainer videos. Needs Node.js, FFmpeg and an OpenAI API key; other providers optional.

Official ListenHub skills: agents turn a topic, article or link into podcasts, explainer videos and slides, and can also do voiceovers, voice cloning, background music and image generation. Needs a ListenHub account (free credits included) and the listenhub CLI.
