# Slide Deck & Presentation Summarizer

Slides are fragments — titles, bullets, numbers without the speaker. Upload a deck saved as PDF and get the storyline back: what the presentation is trying to achieve, the message of each section, the key numbers and the ask.

## Key facts

- For PowerPoint, Keynote and Google Slides decks exported to PDF: pitch decks, sales decks, conference talks, strategy and training slides.
- Reconstructs the storyline instead of listing slide titles.
- Keeps key numbers and the call to action.
- Ask “What is the market size claim and where does it come from?”.
- Free, no account.

## What the summary covers

- **The deck's goal** — inform, sell, request funding, train.
- **Main message of each section**, in order.
- **Key numbers** — market sizes, results, targets, prices.
- **The call to action** — the decision or next step requested.

## How to summarize a presentation

1. **Export the deck to PDF** — In PowerPoint or Keynote: File → Export → PDF. In Google Slides: File → Download → PDF.
2. **Upload it** — Keep “Slide deck” selected.
3. **Read the storyline** — Then ask about any slide: “What does slide 12 say about pricing?”.

## Good uses

- **Investors** screening pitch decks.
- **Teams** catching up on a presentation they missed.
- **Speakers** checking that their deck's message comes across without them.
- **Students** reviewing lecture slides (or use the study notes summarizer for revision notes).

> **Missed the presentation?** — Upload the deck and get the storyline in seconds.

## Limits

Charts and images inside slides are not read unless they contain text. Speaker notes are included only if they were exported in the PDF (choose “Notes pages” when exporting from PowerPoint).

## FAQ

### 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.
