# Presenton

> Presenton generates slide decks from a prompt, an uploaded document or your own PowerPoint design, then lets you edit and export editable PPTX or PDF. It runs as a desktop app (macOS, Windows, Linux) or a Docker container, and works with Ollama or LM Studio for fully local text models or with paid APIs. Apache-2.0. It only does presentations: no social graphics, print or whiteboards. No minimum hardware documented; local models can use an NVIDIA GPU.
