let's begin.

Problem Statement 1

Making Slides is hard

What is the actual process?

  • take notes
  • extract key points
  • sort them and arrange in a structured hierarchy
  • put them into powerpoint
  • add some nice styles / theme
  • export as pdf

How would you solve this??

what about styling?

What exactly is chatGPT?

  • an AI?
  • a Large language Model?

Hello everyone

good afternoon to you all

this talk is going to be about ideas,

ideas and how to build them

ideas and how to build them using generative ai

let's start with a common problem that everyone faces

google maps for hmt to lulu mall

17-yo cursor and remotion

audio pen landing

I believe that at some point in our lives, each one of us would have had some ideas,

ideas that we wanted to see materialize in the world, but we just couldn't see that to completion due to several reasons.

Agenda - few projects i've made and the realisations i were able to gain from it - idea is to show that gen-ai is making people independet o build out their ideas - we'll be breaking down how generative ai apps are made and tools available to fast track the proces

this is actually a pain point

example of mum typing notes and then later having to make slides which is hard

but now what?

not easy to answer. depends on the context in which people use it

chatgpt.com is a website where a web application is shown

when you type in a query, the results are sent to a different program

like a function

what is a function?

model switcher
