Doubao, Kimi, and DeepSeek for Thesis Defense Slides: Workflows and Differences
Acadwrite Team · Last updated July 5, 2026
Short answer: Doubao or Kimi can create a general first draft. DeepSeek can draft slide-by-slide content when you need tighter control. For a defense structure grounded in the thesis, focus on thesis parsing, figure extraction, and PPTX export. The comparison below uses the same fields for all four routes. Product capabilities may change with current versions.
| Dimension | Doubao | Kimi | DeepSeek | Acadwrite |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary input | Paper / topic / key points | Uploaded document / topic | Thesis abstract / key points | Uploaded thesis |
| Outline review | Request it in the prompt | Review after generation | Edit slide text individually | Review before generation |
| Thesis figures | Review and add after generation | Review and add after generation | Insert manually | Extract from the thesis, then review |
| Main output | Outline / copy / slides | Outline and slides | Outline and slide-by-slide copy | Editable PPTX |
| Main follow-up work | Correct structure, figures, and layout | Correct structure, figures, and layout | Lay out slides and insert figures elsewhere | Verify content and refine layout |
| Best suited for | A quick general draft | Turning long documents into slides | Controlling slide-by-slide content | Defenses / proposals / research meetings |
Test Every Tool with the Same Thesis
Give all four tools the same thesis, defense length, and section requirements. Record these five results.
Structural coverage
Does it include the research question, methods, key results, innovations, limitations, and conclusion?
Traceable content
Can every number, figure, and conclusion be traced to the original thesis?
Figure handling
Are captions, axes, legends, and data clear, and is the original meaning preserved?
Editable slides
Can titles, text, figures, and layout be edited independently?
Presentation pacing
Does each slide make one main point, and does the total fit the defense duration?
Doubao Workflow
Upload the thesis or paste its key points. Find the presentation feature in the current client, confirm the defense outline first, and then generate slides.
- Useful for turning a conversation into an outline and slide copy quickly
- State the defense duration, required sections, and results that must remain
- Verify thesis data, figure numbers, and conclusions slide by slide
Kimi Presentation Assistant Workflow
Upload the thesis or enter the research topic. Ask for a defense outline first, then confirm the sections and slide count before generating slides.
- Useful for organizing long documents into an outline and slides
- Explicitly request separate slides for methods, key results, and innovations
- Check preservation of thesis figures slide by slide after generation
DeepSeek Workflow
Ask the model for the defense outline, slide titles, and talking points. Then transfer the content to a presentation tool or lay it out manually.
- Useful for organizing content and drafting every slide
- A second tool is needed to produce editable slides
- Thesis figures, equations, and layout require manual work
Acadwrite Workflow
Upload the thesis and choose an academic defense scenario. Review the outline, generate the presentation, and export an editable PPTX.
- Organizes slides around background, problem, methods, results, and conclusion
- Can extract key figures, data, and equations from the thesis
- Designed for defenses, proposals, and research meetings
How to Choose
Choose Doubao or Kimi for a quick general draft. Use DeepSeek to draft slide-by-slide copy when you need tight narrative control, then lay it out elsewhere. Thesis defenses and proposals must stay aligned with the paper, so compare outline review, thesis-figure extraction, and editable-file export most carefully.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I use for free?
Free allowances change by version and account. Check each product's current pricing page before testing and confirm whether file uploads, slide generation, and export count toward the free tier.
Which tool exports an editable file?
Acadwrite exports an editable PPTX. Kimi and Doubao export options depend on the current client. DeepSeek mainly produces an outline and copy and requires separate slide production.
How should I verify generated content?
Compare every slide against the thesis for data, figure numbers, and conclusions. Record the source section or page for every important item.
