Research questionHow can AI agents make controllable slide edits while preserving layout, styling, structure, and native editability?Editing a slide requires more than producing a plausible rendered image. Weak representations can fragment coherent visual units, disrupt layout and styling, or rasterize content that should remain editable. Latest papersRecent research connected to this question, newest first.SLIDEFORGE: An LLM Agent for Controllable Editing of Slides as Structured ArtifactsThe source presents SLIDEFORGE, which represents slides through a Deck State Graph linking visual decomposition, native PPTX objects, and perceptual organization. Its agent uses slide-native operations and rendered-state verification, with reported evaluation covering component recovery, preservation, restyling consistency, visual quality, and native editability.research paper · Sep 2, 2026
