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. 1

    Install Frenchie and restart your agent.

  2. 2

    Ask your agent to extract the PPTX deck and produce the briefing artifact you need.

  3. 3

    Frenchie returns one Markdown section per slide, including speaker notes when available.

  4. 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?

Frenchie extracts the deck. Your agent writes the meeting summary from the Markdown.
