I had to prepare some slides for a training session at work.
I wanted it to be a PDF and not any of the presentation software formats.
The options before me were raw Beamer, some kind of Org -> Beamer or #Typst.
Typst seemed promising and started looking for a presentation framework.
Ended up using https://typst.app/universe/package/touying/ and it was a pleasant experience.
With plain text presentation source code, we can take advantage of version control.
The agent helped me get started with the boilerplate. I had to do a lot of editing of the agent's output to make the presentation easy to follow.
Was satisfied with the overall result and I have something that can be easily edited and extended without having to deal with fiddly graphical tools.

Also, https://codeberg.org/haydn/typesetter looks useful as a GUI #typst editor! Just found it.
