The problem it solves

Translating a slide deck by hand means copying text out, translating it, and pasting it back in slide by slide. It is slow, easy to mess up formatting, and painful to repeat every time the deck changes.

Who it fits

Teams that regularly share Chinese-language presentations with English-speaking colleagues or clients.

How it works

  1. You start the process and point it at a presentation in Google Drive
  2. The system extracts all the text from the slides
  3. An AI model translates each piece of text from Chinese to English
  4. The translated text replaces the original text in the presentation
What you get

Slides translated and ready to review

You get your Chinese-language slide deck translated into English automatically, right inside the original presentation.

What you get

The same Google Slides deck, now translated into English with the original layout intact.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and an AI model API key.

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.
