ChatPPT v0.3

ChatPPT v0.3 Release Notes

New Features

• Layout Encoding with Content Type Weighting: Implemented a new layout encoding system that assigns unique numbers to layouts based on weighted content types (Title, Content, Picture). This ensures consistent layout selection regardless of content type order and simplifies matching by treating layouts with the same types and quantities as identical.
• Gradio-Powered ChatBot Integration: Introduced a Gradio interface that integrates with a GPT-4o-mini powered chatbot. Users can interact with the chatbot to generate markdown content for PowerPoint slides. The chatbot simplifies user input while offering flexibility for dynamic content creation.
• PowerPoint Generation Integration: Seamlessly combined the Gradio chatbot with PowerPoint generation. The system now allows users to submit markdown through the chatbot interface and automatically generates a PowerPoint presentation based on the content.
• Simplified Layout Matching: Moved from complex string-based matching to content-type-based encoding, streamlining layout assignment based on encoded values. This method makes the system more adaptable and extensible for future layouts and content types.

Enhancements

• Debugging and Logging Improvements: Added enhanced logging features, including a __str__ method in key classes like LayoutManager, which provides detailed information about layout strategies and encoded values. This makes development and debugging more transparent and straightforward.
• Dynamic Layout Strategy Generation: Refined the layout strategy creation to dynamically generate layout strategies based on content types rather than relying on manual configuration. This allows for greater flexibility and easier expansion.
• Flexible Layout Expansion: The new layout encoding system provides the foundation for adding new content types and layouts, ensuring the system can be easily adapted for future use cases without breaking existing functionality.
