This seems to do what you want:

on idle
set the date_stamp to ((the current date) as string)
set the minute to the sixth word of the date_stamp
set the sec to the seventh word of the date_stamp
if ((the minute is "0") or (the minute is "15") or (the
minute is "30") or (the minute is "45")) and the sec is less than 31
then
tell application "Keynote"
activate
save the front window
end tell
end if
end idle

Remember to save it as a "Stay open" application. Otherwise it won't
do anything.

Use at your own risk!
