slAIde
A multi-agent presentation and PDF generator that turns a single prompt into polished HTML5 slide decks or LaTeX-compiled summaries using Google ADK and A2A.
slAIde was built around a very simple goal: turn one block of input into a polished deliverable with as little friction as possible. We wanted a system that could take a paragraph, story, or rough concept and turn it into either a full HTML5 slide deck or a LaTeX-compiled PDF from a single prompt. For students, hackathon teams, and professionals, it was a way to go from idea to presentation-ready output in one click.
The interesting part was not just the output, but the architecture behind it. We built a backend-driven multi-agent workflow in Python using Google ADK, A2A, and Gemini 2.5 Flash, with a Host Router coordinating a sequential pipeline of specialized agents. Each stage had a distinct responsibility, and we added validation, end-to-end health checks, and timeout-plus-retry guardrails so the system would behave reliably instead of feeling like a brittle demo.
On the frontend, we used Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS to wrap the system in a clean interface that made the underlying complexity feel simple. slAIde ended up being one of those projects where the final UX looked straightforward, but getting there required a lot of careful orchestration behind the scenes.
Highlights
- Single-prompt generation for either HTML5 slide decks or LaTeX-compiled PDFs
- Sequential multi-agent pipeline built with Google ADK, A2A, and Gemini 2.5 Flash
- Reliability guardrails including validation, health checks, timeouts, and retries
- Backend-first architecture that turns raw input into polished presentation assets
