Step 1: Create Your PowerPoint Template

Use slide masters to define your layout styles. For each layout you'd like the AI to support, create a corresponding slide in the main deck.

• Ensure each slide uses one of the master layouts and has editable areas correctly defined.
• Insert sample images in image placeholders to act as visual anchors.
• In each text box, include descriptive instructions and optional length limits using the format:

  Section title:40char

The better the templates are the better the final result will be, make sure you test your template and the character guides.

Step 2: Upload the Template to the App

1. Log in to the Admin Dashboard. (Speak to Myles Cameron if you need access.)
2. Upload your PPTX file and a thumbnail image.
3. Add a name and notes to describe your template.
4. The app will extract editable fields and validate your file.
5. Use the test feature to generate a sample PPTX and check layout and formatting.

Step 3: Add the Template to Your GPT

1. From the homescreen or admin dashboard, click the Copy GPT Action button. This will automatically copy the config.
2. Open your GPT configuration in the OpenAI platform.
3. Go to your Custom GPT configuration.
4. Scroll to the bottom and click "Add Action".
5. Paste the config into the action window.

You should see a configuration similar to the one below, with two "Available actions"; getTemplateBySlug and generatePresentation
