Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
I noticed slide decks become much less useful after meetings.People send PDFs around, but much of the information was spoken rather than written.I built PresentForMe.ai think of it as DocSend, but interactive.Upload a PDF or PowerPoint and instead of sharing a static deck, viewers get an AI presenter that can:- explain slides - narrate content - answer questions - track all interactionsStill working on things like pacing, and making the response more natural.here's a short 3-slide demo:https://presentforme.ai/presenter-live?share=2y_-NRdi0PSyUTW...Would love feedback. Thank you for your attention.
