Multi-Format Document and Presentation Generation Swarm

Kimi K2.6 coordinates a multi-agent swarm that produces a complete document suite spanning reports, slide decks, and spreadsheet analyses from a single input prompt. The system routes content through specialized sub-agents each configured for a specific output format, with a coordinating agent ensuring message consistency across all deliverables. Using the 1T-parameter MoE architecture with 384 experts and MLA attention, the model maintains cross-format coherence by keeping the core narrative, data sources, and key messages in a shared context accessible to all sub-agents via the 256K-token window. Each sub-agent independently researches its assigned section, formats output according to template specifications, and passes structured data to [TOOL: Kimi Slides] for presentation rendering and [TOOL: Kimi Code CLI] for spreadsheet generation. The final output is a coordinated asset set where a change to the executive summary in the report automatically propagates to the corresponding slide and the summary tab in the spreadsheet. A complete quarterly business review package with 40-page report, 30-slide deck, and 5-tab spreadsheet with charts can be produced in under 90 minutes.

BUSINESS PROBLEM

Business professionals spend 12-18 hours per week creating presentation decks, reports, and data sheets for the same content expressed in different formats. A 2025 survey by Slideware found that the average knowledge worker recreates the same information across 4.2 formats per project, with 73% reporting that inconsistencies between the report and slide deck cause confusion in executive reviews. When a quarterly review requires a detailed written report for the board, a condensed slide deck for the all-hands, and a spreadsheet for the finance team, the typical workflow involves three separate teams working in parallel with manual cross-referencing. Data discrepancy between formats is reported in 68% of cross-functional deliverables (Source: Harvard Business Review, 2024). The cost of rework from format inconsistency averages $4,500 per major deliverable when factoring in executive time wasted reconciling conflicting numbers across documents. Kimi K2.6 eliminates format silos by treating all outputs as views of a single authoritative content graph maintained by the agent swarm.

WHO BENEFITS

Strategy and operations managers preparing quarterly board packages who currently build the same narrative in PowerPoint, Word, and Excel across three separate workstreams requiring 20+ hours of manual synchronization work each quarter. Consulting engagement managers who deliver situation analyses, recommendations, and financial models across 3-5 formats per client and spend 30-40% of project time on formatting and cross-referencing instead of analysis. Startup founders preparing investor materials who need a cohesive narrative across the pitch deck, financial model, and business plan document and currently juggle 4-6 tools with paste errors between them creating version chaos that delays close by an average of 2 weeks per fundraising round.

HOW IT WORKS

1. User provides a content brief or source document through [TOOL: Kimi.com] specifying the core narrative, target formats, and template preferences for the full document suite. 2. [TOOL: Kimi K2.6 Agent Swarm] creates a shared content graph by extracting key claims, data points, and narrative flow from the input, establishing a single source of truth. 3. The swarm spawns format-specialized sub-agents: a report writer, a slide composer, and a spreadsheet builder, each operating with its own template rules and output schemas. 4. Each sub-agent generates its format output in parallel, pulling from the shared content graph and requesting specific data visualizations and chart types from the spreadsheet agent. 5. An AI reasoning step checks cross-format consistency by comparing key metrics, phrasing, and data across all output drafts, flagging discrepancies exceeding a 2% threshold for automatic correction. 6. [TOOL: Kimi Slides] receives structured slide definitions from the presentation sub-agent and renders slides with brand templates, chart embeddings, and speaker notes for each slide. 7. [TOOL: Kimi Code CLI] compiles the report to PDF via LaTeX and exports the spreadsheet as .xlsx with named ranges, formulas, and conditional formatting rules applied programmatically. 8. A human review step allows the user to inspect the full asset set in a diff-like view showing cross-format consistency scores and data alignment before final export. The system generates a changelog showing what changed across formats since the last run. The system supports incremental regeneration where updating the source brief triggers coordinated updates across all output formats in a single subsequent run.

TOOL INTEGRATION

[TOOL: Kimi K2.6 Agent Swarm] requires setting the format_routing configuration. Define format-specific agents in the swarm config with agent_type=report, agent_type=slides, agent_type=spreadsheet. Gotcha: without setting shared_context=true, each sub-agent produces outputs that may contradict each other on data points. Enable shared context and define the master data schema upfront. [TOOL: Kimi Slides] integrates via the batch presentation API. Upload brand templates through the Slides dashboard before automation runs. The endpoint POST /v1/presentations/batch accepts an array of slide definitions. Gotcha: chart rendering in slides depends on external data URLs being accessible during generation; for offline use, pre-upload chart images and reference them as base64 to avoid broken image placeholders in the final deck. [TOOL: Kimi.com] serves as the primary content input endpoint. The API accepts document uploads, web links, and raw text. Gotcha: when uploading PDF source documents, the parser handles text extraction reliably but may misorder multi-column layouts; use layout_preserve=true for complex academic or legal documents. [TOOL: Kimi Code CLI] handles spreadsheet generation via kimi generate spreadsheet --schema schema.json. Define cell ranges, formulas, and conditional formatting rules in the schema. Gotcha: the CLI overwrites existing files by default; use --output-dir with versioned subdirectories to preserve previous exports. For complex spreadsheets with macros, export as .xlsm with --enable-macros flag to retain VBA scripts.

ROI METRICS

1. Document suite production time: 15-20 hours manual per quarterly package vs. 90 minutes automated, saving 13.5-18.5 hours per reporting cycle. 2. Cross-format consistency errors: 8-12 per deliverable when done manually across teams vs. 0-1 with shared content graph enforcement and automated cross-referencing. 3. Format-specific rework: 30-40% of project time lost to reformatting and fixing paste errors in manual workflows vs. under 5% with automated format conversion. 4. Tool switching cost: context-switching across Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and design tools costs 40 minutes per hour of productive work in manual cycles vs. single-prompt execution. 5. Executive review time: 3-5 hours reconciling format discrepancies in board packages vs. 30 minutes reviewing a self-consistent automated output.

CAVEATS

Complex data visualizations like multi-axis charts or waterfall charts may render in simplified form in the automated spreadsheet output, requiring manual enhancement for finance-grade presentations. The shared content graph approach means that if the source input contains an error, that error propagates uniformly across all output formats instead of being caught by human cross-referencing that occurs in manual workflows. Template customization for non-standard slide layouts (e.g., custom infographics, branded diagrams) requires pre-configuring template maps in the Skills system; without this, the system falls back to generic layouts. Long spreadsheets with 200+ rows of conditional formatting may hit API token limits on the spreadsheet generation endpoint, requiring the output to be split across multiple workbook tabs.
