Frequently asked questions
Can it read PowerPoint files directly?
Not yet — export them to PDF first (File → Export → PDF). This takes a few seconds and keeps the slide text.
Does it include speaker notes?
Only if they are in the PDF. In PowerPoint, export with the “Notes pages” layout to include them.
Can it summarize a pitch deck for an investment memo?
Yes. Ask for the problem, solution, market, traction, team, business model and the ask as separate bullets.
What if the slides have very little text?
The summary will be short. Ask focused questions instead, or upload the accompanying report if there is one.
