In a significant update to its web platform, Tongyi has launched a new Efficiency module featuring a “PPT Creation” tool, aiming to streamline the process of creating presentations and enhancing productivity. The upgrade, announced on August 30, incorporates three core features: substantial content, aesthetic design, and intelligent arrangement.
Simplifying Presentation Creation
The newly introduced “PPT Creation” function is entirely free and built upon the robust Tongyi Large Model. Developed by the Tongyi Lab through full-chain research and development, this feature promises to simplify the process of creating PowerPoint presentations, making creative expression more straightforward.
Users can access the “PPT Creation” page by clicking on the “Efficiency” module on the Tongyi web version (tongyi.ai). By inputting a single sentence or uploading a document, Tongyi automatically generates a well-structured outline and develops content tailored to the user’s needs, facilitating high-quality content creation.
Core Features
Substantial Content
The tool ensures that the content is not only engaging but also informative. By leveraging the capabilities of the Tongyi Large Model, it can produce presentations that are rich in content and relevant to the user’s input.
Aesthetic Design
Tongyi has also focused on the visual aspect of presentations. By integrating the Tongyi Wanxiang Visual Large Model, the tool supports text-to-image generation and offers a search function within its image library, ensuring that the visuals match the presentation’s requirements.
Intelligent Arrangement
The intelligent arrangement feature ensures that the content is logically organized and presented in a coherent manner, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the presentation.
Meeting Diverse Needs
The initial batch of templates launched with the “PPT Creation” tool caters to various scenarios, including work reports, academic lectures, and daily sharing. This versatility aims to meet the diverse needs of users, ensuring that their presentations are both professional and visually appealing.
Enhancing Productivity and Creativity
Tongyi’s goal with these new tools is to save users time, increase productivity, and spark creativity. “We hope these tools help users save time, enhance their work and learning efficiency, and inspire boundless creativity,” said Wang Xiaoming, the product manager for Tongyi Efficiency.
Additional Updates
In addition to the “PPT Creation” feature, Tongyi has also upgraded its audio-video transcription product, “Tongyi Tingwu,” to “Real-time Recording,” and its long-document reading assistant, “Tongyi Zhiwen,” to “Reading Assistant.” These updates, combined with the new “PPT Creation” feature, offer a comprehensive workflow for information collection, content understanding, and content creation.
Furthermore, in mid-August, Tongyi introduced a “Deep Search” mode on its web version, supporting more content source indexes and providing more in-depth, professional, and structured search results. This feature simplifies the process of searching for information, offering users more structured answers.
Conclusion
The latest upgrade to the Tongyi web version signifies the company’s commitment to enhancing productivity through AI-driven tools. By offering a seamless and efficient way to create presentations, Tongyi is empowering users to express their ideas more effectively and efficiently. As the tool is currently in the beta testing phase, interested users can apply to participate in the internal testing program to experience these new features ahead of the official release.
