The problem it solves

You need quick visual previews of a slide deck for a catalog, gallery, or review, but grabbing a screenshot of every slide by hand is slow and easy to mess up. It doesn't scale once the deck gets long.

Who it fits

Anyone who manages presentations and needs slide previews for indexing, galleries, or document automation.

How it works

  1. You run the system on a chosen Google Slides presentation
  2. It lists every slide in the deck
  3. It requests a thumbnail image for each individual slide
  4. You receive a downloadable link for every slide thumbnail
What you get

Slide thumbnails ready for your gallery or index

You get a downloadable thumbnail image for every slide in your presentation, ready to drop into any gallery or index.

What you get

A list of downloadable thumbnail image links, one for every slide in the presentation.

What you need

A Google Slides account (Google Workspace).

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
