use case
Turn decks into briefing notes.
Frenchie extracts PPTX decks slide by slide so your agent can draft summaries, meeting prep, and follow-up questions.
the problem
Why this is a pain.
A board deck or sales deck is full of useful text, but the next task is not presentation editing. You need a brief, a question list, or a decision memo.
Screenshots of slides are awkward for text-heavy work. Manual copy-paste loses slide order and notes. Frenchie gives your agent a Markdown version organized by slide.
the workflow
How Frenchie handles it.
- 1
Install Frenchie and restart your agent.
- 2
Ask your agent to extract the PPTX deck and produce the briefing artifact you need.
- 3
Frenchie returns one Markdown section per slide, including speaker notes when available.
- 4
Your agent writes a brief, flags missing data, or turns the deck into a follow-up email.
example
What it looks like in practice.
Your prompt
Extract ./decks/apac-expansion.pptx with Frenchie. Write a one-page prep brief and list questions for the exec review.
Agent response
Deck extracted — 18 slides, 18 credits, Markdown saved to .frenchie/apac-expansion/result.md. Prep brief drafted. Key questions: - Slide 6 assumes partner-led onboarding; who owns enablement cost? - Slide 9 shows CAC improving by Q3; what campaign mix drives that? - Slide 14 lists legal risk but no owner.

tips
Things worth knowing.
- PPTX extraction is 1 credit per slide.
- Speaker notes are included when available, which often makes the brief better than slide text alone.
- Use this for text and notes. For visual critique, ask your agent to inspect slide images separately.
questions
Common questions.
Does Frenchie support .ppt?
No. Save legacy decks as `.pptx` first.
Does it include speaker notes?
Yes, speaker notes are appended to slide sections when available.
Can it make a meeting summary from the deck?
