At the recent BEYOND Expo, the SlidesOrator project attracted significant attention from attendees. This innovative tool does not require high-end machinery or virtual reality glasses. The booth was simple yet highlighted a core issue that every professional can relate to: how to better present PowerPoint presentations.
The concept of SlidesOrator is closely linked to its functionality. Its goal is not only to help users quickly create PPTs but also to make speeches "automatic and credible" through AI technology. Unlike traditional PPT tools, SlidesOrator focuses more on the quality of the speech rather than just piling up content.

When using SlidesOrator, users simply need to upload their prepared PDF format slides. The system will automatically generate voice narration, and a 3D virtual digital person will complete the entire presentation. This process not only eliminates the hassle of real-person recordings but also does not rely on prior professional training, significantly lowering the threshold for users.
Even more impressive is that SlidesOrator is not just about playing slideshows. Its digital person can instantly answer audience questions based on the PPT content, creating a complete and interactive "AI speaker" image. This feature allows users to engage in deeper exchanges with the audience during presentations, enhancing the interactivity and fun of the speech.
The SlidesOrator team mentioned that they have conducted in-depth optimization in areas such as multilingual voice synthesis, semantic summary, image-text matching, and 3D digital person drive, aiming to allow anyone to easily "host" a high-quality speech. At this stage, this system has found applications in multiple fields such as education and training, corporate presentations, and product launches, especially suitable for industries with highly structured content and needs for multilingual dissemination.
For example, SlidesOrator has shown impressive performance in international exhibitions, online courses, and startup roadshows. The team mentioned that their service has been favored by many users from developing regions. During the exhibition, I also saw some users from Vietnam and Thailand upload local language PPTs, demonstrating the wide applicability of this technology.
SlidesOrator not only improves the efficiency of PPT presentations but also brings a new experience to speakers, becoming a new helper for modern professionals.
