SLIDEFORGE is a new AI agent designed for controllable editing of presentation slides. It constructs a Deck State Graph that links visual decomposition, native PowerPoint object structure, and perceptual organization, enabling theme‑preserving reconstruction through slide‑native operations and rendered‑state verification. The authors also propose an evaluation framework that jointly measures component recovery, preservation, restyling consistency, visual quality, and native editability, and demonstrate that SLIDEFORGE outperforms existing prompting, screenshot‑based, and generic code‑agent baselines.

EditPPT is a multi‑agent framework that turns slide editing into a constrained tool‑selection task, using the native PowerPoint COM interface to perform localized shape‑level operations. By separating validation across modalities, its dual‑modal validators assess both instruction fidelity and visual quality, achieving high execution and accuracy rates even on long decks. The authors also introduce DeckEdit‑Bench, a benchmark of 28 human‑authored decks with 582 slides and 183 editing prompts across varying deck lengths.

SlideGen is a collaborative vision‑language multi‑agent framework designed to generate scientific presentation slides from research papers. It assigns specialized agents to outline the presentation structure, align figures and tables with key claims, generate speaker notes, and compose editable PPTX slides using a diverse layout library. The system introduces a geometry‑aware density metric to evaluate visual clutter and demonstrates significant improvements in layout balance, content coverage, and text coherence over existing baselines on a 200‑paper benchmark.

ReDeck introduces a step‑level render‑grounded refinement framework for document‑to‑slide generation, breaking slide revision into atomic edit actions with immediate renderer‑derived observations. It employs multi‑granular feedback—step‑level spatial checks, turn‑level adaptive critique, and a submission‑level layout gate—to balance local repair with overall quality. The authors also present DeckQuiz, a benchmark that separates content fidelity, spatial correctness, and design quality, and demonstrate ReDeck’s superior performance across GPT‑5.4, Claude‑4.6, and Gemini‑3.1.

ReFigBench is a benchmark that evaluates how well multimodal coding agents can transform scientific overview figures into editable PowerPoint slides, preserving text, layout, and document structure. The study uses 1,000 real figures from arXiv, testing agents from four model families across two workflows—direct code generation and a specialized PPTX workflow—within ten different harness configurations. Evaluation combines deterministic artifact checks, automated scoring by judges, and blinded human comparisons, revealing that workflow and harness choices significantly affect reconstruction quality and that even the best agents fall short of the ideal rubric.

Vision-language models (VLMs) have shown strong capabilities in generating visualization code from textual or visual specifications. However, real-world visualization authoring is inherently iterative: users frequently revise existing visualizations to repair flawed charts or adapt them to desired styles.
