Looking for suggestions.
I want to create a PPT file based on a base template. The use case is something like this.
I have base Power Point template(which company formatting) in a SharePoint library.
Create a custom/declarative agent. If user asks like
“create a power point presentation with 10 slides on Power of AI”, expected output
It should create a new PPT file by taking base template and create 10 slides.
Give the end user to download the file.
#Create a PPT file based on a base template.

Hi @viral flint
So this isn't a new idea and there are some sample already available on GitHub see:
https://github.com/tomleelong/PPTX
However you could build on these and develop a Azure AI powered solution
Suggestions on how you could architect this agent workflow, with suggestions for orchestration, tooling, and deployment:
User Prompt → Agent Invocation
Natural language input like:
“Create a PowerPoint presentation with 10 slides on Power of AI”
Agent Tasks
- Parse intent and parameters (topic, slide count, tone/style)
- Retrieve base .pptx template from SharePoint
- Generate slide content (titles + bullet points or visuals)
- Populate slides using the template
- Save and expose download link
Output
- A downloadable .pptx file with company formatting and generated content
Suggested Stack & Tools
| Component | Recommendation
Agent Framework - Azure AI Foundry, LangChain, or Semantic Kernel for declarative orchestration
Template Access - Microsoft Graph API to fetch .pptx from SharePoint
Slide Generation - OpenAI or Azure OpenAI (GPT-4o) for content generation
PPT Manipulation - python-pptx or Marqo + Unstructured for layout
Storage & Delivery - Azure Blob Storage or OneDrive for download link generation you could look at MS Graph also
Trigger Surface - Teams Bot, Web App, or Copilot Plugin
