hey everyone,

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?
