SlidesGPT – Like ChatGPT for Slides

  I always write my slides in HTML (with RevealJS) and I started trying out Copilot yesterday for the first time while working on a slide deck about Docker. I was really impressed with how much it helped me fill in the slides, both in terms of the HTML and the content. It probably helped that I had other slide decks in the same repo (if it checks other files?) and that I often write the key outline slides first. So, if anyone else writes slides in HTML or Markdown, try out Copilot for a helping hand.

  *Disclosure: I work for Microsoft.

  This seems like a great way to make a boring, unfocused presentation. Not bad for generating filler, or a presentation that could be done poorly by a college freshman without any speaking experience. The slide comments are more opinionated, and better but the slides themselves are bland.

  For example, I generated one for "Why use Hacker News": https://slidesgpt.com/l/X3sU

  People's slide decks are already bad and have too much text. Not sure how this is going fix that.
