My talk script became a slide deck that was 95% done

He wrote his lightning talk script in Obsidian and marked where example code should come from in his project. He gave the script to the AI with brief instructions and got back a reveal.js deck that was 95% done.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. Writes the talk script in Obsidian with notes on where to pull example code
  2. Gives it to the AI with brief instructions
  3. Gets a reveal.js deck that is 95% done

Why it’s worth knowing

His notes in the script told the AI where to find the code examples, and the deck came back almost finished.
