From Fluid Mechanics to AI Champion: The Story Behind Video2PPT

1. Trapped in the Silence of Academic Lectures

My story begins in a quiet Fluid Mechanics lab. As a graduate student, my life revolved around Navier-Stokes equations and numerical simulations. However, a tedious task assigned by my supervisor changed my life: recording and organizing academic webinars.

I found myself staring at screens for hours as slides crawled by. Speakers rarely shared their original PPT files, and platforms often restricted recording permissions. I was a "digital laborer," manually waiting for every slide transition just to capture high-quality screenshots of formulas.

"Why, in this era of AI, am I still using such primitive methods to 'wait for a slide'?"

This frustration sparked the seed of Video2PPT: a tool that could "watch" the screen for me, auto-detecting every flip of a page.

2. Coding with GPT: The 90-Day Grind

In April 2024, I wrote the first line of code. This was before the era of smart IDEs like Cursor or Windsurf. As a student with no formal computer science training, my only coding partner was the GPT chat window.

I built the framework using basic HTML and JavaScript. My workflow was a primitive loop:

1. Ask AI to write a draft.
2. Paste the code into the chat for debugging.
3. Manually copy it back to VS Code.

For three months, I lived in this cycle day and night. While my peers discussed turbulence simulations, I was obsessed with image-matching algorithms. Eventually, I completed the prototype.

3. Beyond Code: The Mountain of Compliance

I soon realized that writing code was the easiest part. To launch Video2PPT legitimately in mainland China, I had to transform into a legal and tax specialist. I registered a company, hired auditors, purchased domains, and navigated the complex maze of ICP filing and compliance. It was exhausting and full of detours, but I knew that for the product to survive, it had to stand on a solid legal foundation.

4. The Turning Point: From $0 to the ByteDance Championship

Early promotion was brutal. I recommended the tool in academic chatrooms for less than $1, yet no one was willing to pay. I shelved the project for six months, demoralized.

Then, I entered a competition hosted by ByteDance. To my surprise, Video2PPT won First Place in the AI for Web Coding category and a 30,000 RMB prize. This victory proved that people did need this tool; I just hadn't found the right stage. After open-sourcing the project on GitHub, it quickly gained 200 stars and media attention.

5. The $5 From a British Doctor: Seeing the Dawn

In September 2025, I added a Stripe payment link as a test. At that time, all features were actually still usable for free. One morning, I received a notification: a $5 payment from a doctor in the UK.

That small amount was a lightning bolt in the dark. It proved that across the globe, people were hungry for efficiency. That was the moment I truly found my purpose. I began obsessively optimizing the algorithm, turning Video2PPT into the fastest and most accurate tool on the market.
