New benchmark PPTArena evaluates AI agents on PowerPoint editing tasks

Researchers have introduced PPTArena, a new benchmark designed to evaluate how well agents can edit PowerPoint presentations based on natural language instructions. This benchmark utilizes 100 decks with over 1,300 human-curated edits, assessing changes in text, charts, animations, and master styles. A novel agent called PPTPilot was also presented, which uses a structure-aware approach to plan edits, integrate programmatic tools, and verify results, outperforming other agents by over 10 percentage points in visual fidelity and consistency. AI

IMPACT This benchmark could accelerate the development of more capable AI agents for document editing and manipulation.

RANK_REASON The cluster describes a new academic benchmark and associated agent for a specific task, published on arXiv. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=1.0]

    PPTArena: A Benchmark for PowerPoint Editing

    arXiv:2512.03042v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce PPTArena, a benchmark for PowerPoint editing that evaluates how agents modify real slides from natural-language instructions. Unlike benchmarks that rely on image-PDF renderings or text-to-slide generation, PP…
