This is what enables bidirectional read/write access, real-time editing, LaTeX rendering, templates, and animations. macOS/Linux alternatives like `python-pptx` don't get access to the full PowerPoint feature set. PRs for an AppleScript-based macOS version are welcome. --- ## Why This Is Different There are a lot of PowerPoint automation tools out there.

Claude can READ your existing presentations and edit them in real time without closing PowerPoint first. **Multimodal slide analysis** The `slide_snapshot` tool gives the LLM both visual context (screenshots w…
