Baidu Literature GenFlow: A Smart Body Tool to Automatically Generate PPTs and Research Papers

Baidu GenFlow is an AI Agent service built into the Baidu library. It is not a simple Q&A tool, but an "AI team of experts" that can understand complex tasks autonomously and perform complete workflows automatically. Users only need to put forward a demand in everyday language, for example, "make a PPT about the market trend of new energy vehicles", GenFlow can automatically break down the task into multiple steps, and dispatch more than 100 "expert intelligences" with different functions to work together. "These intelligences are responsible for information retrieval. These intelligences are responsible for information retrieval, data analysis, charting, content writing and layout design, etc., and ultimately generate a complete and usable PPT, Word research report, mind map, or even 3D modeling diagrams or videos in various formats. The core of GenFlow is that it solves the "last mile" problem from idea to finished product, shortening the manual work that used to take hours or even days to a matter of minutes.

Function List

• Complex task understanding and automated disassembly: Understand complex, ambiguous instructions entered by the user and automatically plan the specific steps needed to complete the task.

Using Help

Baidu Wikipedia GenFlow, as a feature integrated within the webpage and app, does not require any installation from the user and can be opened and used. Its goal is to make the process of creating complex documents as easy as talking to a human being.

Step 1: Visit the portal

1. web-based: Open the official website of Baidu Wencu.
2. mobileDownload and open the "Baidu Wencu" App.
   In the main interface, there is usually an eye-catching entrance such as "AI" or "Intelligent Creation", after clicking which you can start to use GenFlow's various functions, such as "AI PPT Generation "and "Intelligent Reporting", and so on.

Step 2: Present your creative needs
Once you are on the features page, you will see an input box. This is the centerpiece of the interaction with GenFlow. You need to enter the tasks you want it to accomplish here. In order to get a higher quality output, it is recommended that your instructions are as clear and specific as possible.

• Example of a simple command::
  • “今天北京天气怎么样？”
  • “帮我画一只猫。”
• Examples of high-quality complex task instructions::
  • “制作一份关于2025年中国新能源汽车市场发展趋势的PPT，要求包含市场规模、主要品牌竞争格局、技术发展方向和未来3年预测，风格要简洁商务。”
  • “写一份市场分析报告，主题是国产咖啡品牌与国际品牌的对比，需要分析各自的优势、劣势、定价策略和消费者画像，输出为Word格式。”
  • “根据我百度网盘里‘项目资料’文件夹中的‘第三季度销售数据.xlsx’文件，生成一份数据分析报告，并制作可视化图表。”(This feature requires the user to authorize access to the network drive)

Step 3: Initiate generation and process monitoring
Once you have entered your instructions, click on "Generate" or a similar button and GenFlow will start. At this point, you will see a visualization of the working interface. Unlike traditional tools with "daisy" loading animations, GenFlow will show its "thought process" and execution steps.

• Task Parallel DisplayIf you have a complex task, such as generating a PowerPoint and a research report at the same time, the app will show the real-time progress of the different tasks in "side-by-side" cards, so that you can clearly see that each part is in synchronization.
• ready intervention: During the generation process, if you find that the outline or content direction of a section does not meet your expectations, you can click "Pause" at any time. After the pause, you can enter new instructions to make corrections, such as "The outline of the second part needs to be supplemented with content on battery technology", or upload additional documents for its reference; GenFlow will adjust the subsequent generation steps according to your new instructions. This feature greatly avoids the time-consuming process of having to start all over again if the final product is not satisfactory.

Step 4: Preview, Edit and Export
Once the task is completed (usually within a few minutes), GenFlow will deliver the "finished product" to you.

• Online Preview and EditingGenFlow has developed its own AI editor, which allows you to modify and fine-tune text, images, charts, etc. as you would with regular office software, removing any imperfections or "AI flavors" that may exist in the AI-generated content.
• Multi-format export: Once you are satisfied with the editing, you can export the file to a variety of standard formats such as.pptx,.docx,.pdfetc. for your local follow-up use or sharing.
• Stored in the personal knowledge base: You can also import the generated content into your personal knowledge base with one click for future access and reuse.

With these four steps, even users without any basic knowledge of design or data analysis can quickly create professional-grade documents and presentations.

QA

1. Is the content generated by GenFlow completely accurate and original?
   GenFlow generates content based on the massive amount of data it retrieves (including Baidu Library, Baidu Academic and information from across the web) and user-supplied information. While it strives for accuracy of information, as an AI tool, its output may still contain biased or outdated information. Therefore, for key data and factual statements in the report, users are strongly advised to perform manual checking and verification. The content is AI-generated and not a direct copy, but the ideas and information are derived from existing sources.
2. How is GenFlow different compared to directly using a large model such as Wenxin Yiyin?
   The main difference is that GenFlow is an "Agent" and not just a "Model". Direct use of the big model usually only get a text form of the answer or suggestion; while GenFlow is an automated workflow system, it will call the big model and a variety of other tools (such as PPT generator, charting tools, search engines, etc.) to actively complete a complex task, and ultimately delivered a complete, directly usable documents, not just a paragraph of text.
3. Do I need to pay to use GenFlow?
   Baidu Wikipedia is a platform that contains both free and paid content, and its AI features usually follow a similar model. Basic features may offer a certain number of free trials or credits, while more advanced, specialized features or higher-frequency use may require a membership or payment.
4. Is my personal data and uploaded files safe?
   According to the product description, GenFlow requires explicit authorization from the user when calling up private domain data such as the user's personal Baidu web drive. Baidu, as a large technology company, usually complies with relevant data privacy and security regulations to protect user data. However, for highly sensitive business or personal information, users should be cautious when using any cloud-based AI services.
