From Side Project to Student Savior: My AI PPT & Resume Tool Crossed 1.5K+ Users

Hey Dev Community!A few weeks ago I quietly dropped a small project — an AI-powered tool for students. Today, I’m back with an update that genuinely surprised me.pptmaker.co.in has now helped 10,000+ students create presentations and resumes in record time.What Changed Since the First Post?Added PDF to PPT conversion (this feature exploded in usage)
Improved Gemini prompts → much better content quality and structure
Launched Company Vault — pre-loaded ATS keywords for TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Accenture, etc.
Added multiple modern themes (including Glassmorphism)
Better mobile experience

The Most Heartwarming FeedbackStudents are using it at 2 AM before seminars.
One guy told me he submitted his final-year project presentation 10 minutes before the deadline — fully AI-generated and edited.Another fresher landed his first interview because the resume looked professional and passed ATS easily.Technical Lessons I LearnedGemini is incredibly fast but you have to be very specific with system prompts.
Vercel + React is perfect for quick MVPs, but I’m now thinking about caching and rate limiting.
Indian students don’t want “beautiful” tools — they want fast + practical + free.

What’s Next? (Roadmap)Multi-language support (Hindi + English)
Presentation coach (AI feedback on content & delivery)
Batch PDF to PPT (upload multiple files)
Export to Google Slides directly

If you’re a student, developer, or someone who hates making slides — I’d love you to try it and roast it honestly. https://www.pptmaker.co.in What should I build next? Drop your suggestions below #webdev #AI #students #indiehacker #buildinpublic #GeminiAI
