Slides Presentation Builder
============================
Creates a complete multi-slide presentation from a natural language brief.
The agent plans slide structure, creates the presentation, adds slides with
appropriate layouts, inserts tables with data, and adds text annotations.
Key concepts:
- create_presentation: creates a new blank presentation
- add_slide: supports TITLE, TITLE_AND_BODY, TITLE_AND_TWO_COLUMNS, BLANK, etc.
- add_table: pre-populates tables with structured data
- add_text_box: positions text annotations on slides
- get_presentation_metadata: returns page size, slide IDs, and element positions in inches
Setup:
1. Create OAuth credentials at https://console.cloud.google.com (enable Slides API + Drive API)
2. Export GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID env vars
3. pip install openai google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib
4. First run opens browser for OAuth consent, saves token.json for reuse
