aipresenter makes it easy to create stories using ChatGPT, for dialogue and scenes, and ElevenLabs, for voice generation. Currently, aipresenter outputs an audio file, but in future releases we would like to output fully integrated video slideshow stories.

1. Open your terminal or command prompt
2. Create a new directory to house the aipresenter project.

mkdir example_project

3. Move into that directory

cd example_project

4. Clone the project's main branch

git clone https://github.com/aipresenter/aipresenter.git

5. Move into the aipresenter directory

cd aipresenter

6. Create your virtual environment

python3 -m venv venv; source venv/bin/activate

7. Update your virtual environment

pip install -r requirements.txt

8. Create environment variables for the api keys.

export CHATGPT_APIKEY=your_chatgpt_api_key
export ELEVENLABS_APIKEY=your_elevenlabs_api_key

Use --help to bring up an option menu:

python3 main.py --help

Through this interface, aipresenter can be used for:

• script generation from a plot
• dialogue generation from a script
• audio generation from dialogue

In this example, the plot is used by chatgpt to create a script and return it as myscript.yml

python3 main.py \
--plot="a plot with 3 scenes about a space war around Europa" \
--script-out=myscript.yml

Once completed the script is written to the file myscript.yml, and is accessable in the aipresenter folder.

In this example, the script is used by chatgpt to generate dialogue, which includes a narrator due to the parameter --narrator, then used by elevenlabs to generate an mp3 file of the dialogue.

python3 main.py \
  --script=myscript.yml \
  --textai=chatgpt \
  --voiceai=elevenlabs \
  --narrator

Once completed the mp3 file becomes avaliable in the aipresenter folder for listening.
