Open-Source AI Presentation Generator and API (Gamma, Beautiful AI, Decktopus Alternative)

Unique: Decoupled template system where layout logic is separated from content generation, allowing users to define custom templates via UI and preview them before applying to presentations. Templates are compiled into rendering instructions, enabling efficient multi-slide rendering. Gamma and Beautiful.ai have fixed template sets; Presenton allows custom template creation and compilation.

vs others: Supports user-defined custom templates with preview and compilation, whereas Gamma and Beautiful.ai offer only predefined template galleries without extensibility.
