It's a good prototype, but not super impressed with the output. It seems like a rehash of ChatGPT and assignment of generic stock photos.

For this to really take off, it should include collaborative bot editing -- that is, ask the bot to change slide #2 with several iterations.

Made a similar one, but for generating Stable Diffusion-illustrated narrated slideshows.

Haven’t made a web interface for it as it’s somewhat expensive to run, but here is example output: https://www.youtube.com/@artificialinsanity/videos

I also have a “producer” script which comes up with the ideas for the video topics for the other script to make.

I suggest you use better voices. Here is a child voice from NaturalReader

It's using text-davinci-003. (I learned this from the /stream endpoint.)

Really nicely formatted. The images are a bit inconsistent, it would be nice to be able to regenerate a particular image again to get a more suitable one for the text.

Still happening 10h later. Are there any examples posted or linked to view?

Ja… same for the last 12 hs. Absolute trash

No need to be negative. It's a fun project and I'm sure you'll get a chance to try it.

f1shy

Ja. I was frustrated…

Oh my goodness, I typed "My Butt", and then couldn't catch my breath laughing.

A+, that was a journey I wasn't prepared for =P

Sadly overloaded by the time I tried to see what made it funny.

I'm going to just imagine it was an over-serious presentation about your butt being a fantastic investment opportunity with unicorn potential, offering growth of 35% per year by providing a zero-carbon solution to gas shortages.

With the right group, this could make for a great Powerpoint Karaoke[1] night.

Yus!

I would love to try it, but I’ll wait until the registration pop up is gone and the HN attention stops DOSing the backend. But from the sound of the website description this is a next and welcome step in the semi intelligentification of anything

Sounds like a job for ChatSTB

m00dy

what does it stand for ?

e1g

BCG is a premier management consulting firm, like McKinsey. Start with any MBA stereotype, add more slides and coke.

niels_bom

Boston Consulting Group iirc.

Big Coked Gorillas

m00dy

coke like in cocaine ?

tumetab1

Not really but I read it as a reference to a tuberculosis vaccine, the BCG vaccine :D

unixhero

This looks like high schooler slides. BCG is still safe.

adamsiem

They don’t mention they are using the iA Presenter open beta for all the heavy lifting of slide design and layout.

For full stack web developers out there what stack and software architecture would you build this apps in?
