for slide in slide_list:
    # Example modification: Updating the text of the first textbox
    requests = [
        {
            'updateTextStyle': {
                'objectId': slide['objectId'],
                'cellLocation': {'rowIndex': 0, 'columnIndex': 0},
                'style': {
                    'bold': True,
                },
                'fields': 'bold'
            }
        }
    ]

How to Use OpenAI with Google Slides: Usecases

 

Integrating OpenAI with Google Slides for Dynamic Presentations

 

  • Leverage OpenAI's language models to automatically generate presentation content based on specific topics or themes you input. For example, you can ask OpenAI to draft an outline on "The Future of Artificial Intelligence" and directly use the content as slides.
  •  

  • Utilize OpenAI to generate engaging speaker notes that provide additional context or anecdotes, making your presentation more interactive and well-rounded.
  •  

  • Implement real-time translation capabilities with OpenAI to cater to an international audience. You can pre-generate translated content or have live translations during the slideshow.
  •  

  • Enhance collaboration by using OpenAI for brainstorming sessions. Input ideas and let OpenAI expand them or suggest additional points, which can be seamlessly inserted into collaborative Google Slides.
  •  

  • Automate the summarization of dense informational slides using OpenAI, presenting only the key points to ensure clear communication without overwhelming the audience.

 

```python

import openai
import gspread

This is a simplified example, showcasing API calls to OpenAI and Google Slides

openai.api_key = 'your-openai-api-key'

def generate_slide_content(topic):
completion = openai.Completion.create(
engine="text-davinci-003",
prompt=f"Give a detailed explanation of {topic}",
max_tokens=150
)
return completion.choices[0].text.strip()

```

 

 

Enhancing Educational Presentations with OpenAI and Google Slides

 

  • Utilize OpenAI's capabilities to create interactive quizzes and activities within Google Slides. You can automatically generate questions based on the topic of your presentation, which makes it engaging and interactive for educational settings.
  •  

  • Employ OpenAI to generate detailed explanations and examples for complex concepts. This can be used to create supplementary material that supports the main content in Google Slides.
  •  

  • Enhance visual storytelling by using OpenAI to provide ideas for images, charts, and infographics that can be incorporated into slides, making data-driven presentations more appealing and easier to understand.
  •  

  • Leverage OpenAI's summarization abilities to convert lengthy research findings or reports into concise slide content, ensuring that the audience gets the essential information without overwhelming them with details.
  •  

  • Tap into OpenAI's translation feature to prepare multilingual slides, allowing educators to reach a broader audience and cater to diverse classrooms with ease.

 

```python

import openai
from googleapiclient.discovery import build

Troubleshooting OpenAI and Google Slides Integration

How do I integrate OpenAI with Google Slides for automated text generation?

 

Integrating OpenAI with Google Slides

 

  • **Set Up OpenAI API**: Sign up on [OpenAI's platform](https://www.openai.com/) and acquire an API key to access GPT models.
  •  

  • **Prepare Google Apps Script**: Open your Google Slide project, navigate to 'Extensions' > 'Apps Script', and start a new script.
  •  

 


function generateText() {
  const apiKey = 'YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY';
  const prompt = 'Your text prompt here.';
  
  const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch('https://api.openai.com/v1/engines/davinci/completions', {
    method: 'post',
    contentType: 'application/json',
    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}` },
    payload: JSON.stringify({
      model: 'text-davinci-003',
      prompt: prompt,
      max_tokens: 150
    })
  });
  
  const result = JSON.parse(response.getContentText()).choices[0].text.trim();
  const slide = SlidesApp.getActivePresentation().getSlides()[0];
  slide.insertTextBox(result);
}

 

  • Authorize and Test: Run the script, authorizing required permissions, and use it to automate text insertion in your Google Slides.
  •  

 

Why is my OpenAI-generated content not displaying correctly in Google Slides?

 

Common Issues with Display

 

  • Formatting Conflicts: Content directly copied from OpenAI may contain styles or elements incompatible with Google Slides. Ensure formatting is purely text-based initially.
  •  

  • Unsupported Elements: Code or special characters might not render. Consider simplifying content or converting it into image form.

 

Solutions and Workarounds

 

  • Plain Text Conversion: Convert OpenAI output to plain text to eliminate special formatting. Use tools like Markdown converters for clean text.
  •  

  • Use HTML Editor: Paste content into an HTML editor to ensure styling compatibility. From there, copy plain text to your slide.

 

<h3>Example</h3>
<p>Your AI-generated content goes here. Ensure only basic HTML tags are used.</p>

 

Embedding Issues

 

  • Embedding as Image: If text or formats fail, take a screenshot or convert content into an image for consistent display.

How can I use OpenAI to automate the creation of presentation slides?

 

Leverage OpenAI for Slide Automation

 

  • **Choose Tools**: Use OpenAI API for natural language processing, paired with presentation software APIs like Google's Slides API.
  •  

  • **Input Content**: Gather the main points and narrative you wish to present. OpenAI’s text generation can help enhance and elaborate on content.
  •  

  • **Generate Text**: Use OpenAI API to generate detailed text for each slide based on bullet points or section headings.

 

import openai

openai.api_key = 'your-api-key'

def generate_slide_text(prompt):
    response = openai.Completion.create(
      engine="text-davinci-003",
      prompt=prompt,
      max_tokens=150
    )
    return response.choices[0].text.strip()

 

Create Automated Slides

 

  • **Prepare API Key**: Set up API key for Google Slides API. Ensure your script has access to create and edit slides.
  •  

  • **Code Integration**: Integrate the generated text into slides by utilizing the Google Slides API to automate slide creation.

 

from googleapiclient.discovery import build

service = build('slides', 'v1', credentials=YOUR_CREDENTIALS)

slide_text = generate_slide_text("Explain the benefits of AI in education.")

presentation_id = "your-presentation-id"
slide = service.presentations().pages().create(
    presentationId=presentation_id,
    body={'requests': [{
        'createSlide': {
            'slideLayoutReference': {
                'predefinedLayout': 'TITLE_AND_BODY'
            }
        }
    },{
        'insertText': {
            'objectId': "slideId",
            'text': slide_text,
            'insertionIndex': 0
        }
    }]}
).execute()
