ChatPPT has collaborated with Intel to launch the Hybrid AI PC Edition of its presentation slide generation app. ChatPPT is an AI-powered application that generates presentation slides based on user inputs such as files, speeches, images, or web links. Prior to the new edition, 100% of ChatPPT’s processing was performed in the cloud.
The shift to a hybrid model was driven by three main concerns with cloud-only processing: high energy and token costs, security risks for sensitive user data, and privacy concerns from enterprise customers. Using Intel’s AI Super Builder V2.8 technology with hybrid AI functionality, the updated ChatPPT app runs complex workloads, such as generating 50-page slide decks, in the cloud while handling smaller tasks, such as changing font size and color, on the local PC. The hybrid approach also keeps sensitive user data secure by avoiding unnecessary transmission to the cloud.
Months of joint engineering between Intel and ChatPPT addressed two key technical challenges. The teams deployed complex end-to-end workflows that run on the user’s local PC using AI Super Builder, enabling a complete on-device loop from content planning to final output for models including the Logiliner traceability model and the document generation agent. They also used OpenVINO to compress multiple models (planning, generation, and traceability), accelerating inference and improving the user experience.
The Intel AI PC Edition, launched in December, reduced overall cloud compute token costs by over 50% and increased the duration of tool usage by over 32% compared to the standard cloud version.
Jack Zhou, CEO of ChatPPT, stated that Intel’s AI Super Builder provided a complete on-device inference framework. He noted the collaboration enabled quick deployment of local models and smoother performance through model compression with OpenVINO.
Todd Lewellen, Intel vice president and general manager of PC Ecosystem and AI Solutions, said the partnership demonstrates the use of AI PCs to reduce cloud costs and deliver a more secure user experience.
Future plans include moving document rendering capabilities entirely to the local PC to achieve a 100% local document creation workflow. ChatPPT is also expanding multimodal support for features such as image-text composition and intelligent chart generation, and developing specialized variants for industries including academia, business analysis, education, and financial services.
A GfK study of over 1,000 office workers found that most spend about 20 hours per month creating presentations, with up to 8 hours spent on formatting slides.
