excited to share opencanvas, a weekend project by ai engineers from mai, google, and anthropic that we're now open sourcing.
what it does:
transform any pdf document or topic into professional presentations in minutes using ai. the unique part: it has a built-in evaluation system that helps presentations self-evolve and improve.
key features:
- pdf to presentation conversion - topic-based generation (just describe what you need) - ai evaluation and self-evolution - generates in minutes, not hours - clean, professional designs
why we built this:
we were all tired of spending hours creating presentations from research papers and documents. most ai tools just generate basic slides - we wanted something that actually understands content and improves itself. turned into a fun weekend hackathon between colleagues.
github: https://github.com/genmini-ai/opencanvas
would love your feedback and contributions. happy to answer questions about the implementation or how we collaborated across companies on this.
what features would you like to see next?
we built slidebee to solve a problem we all face: turning a dense paper into a decent presentation takes hours.
slidebee does it in minutes. you paste a url, we generate the slides.

how it works: it's not just a text summarizer. our ai has multimodal understanding. it parses the whole paper—text, figures, tables, and equations—to build a coherent story.
our open source promise: we want to build this with the community. if this post gets 200 upvotes, we promise to open-source the entire project. this will tell us it's a tool worth maintaining and evolving together.
