Workshop Slides to Handout Generator

Upload your slide deck text and get a clean handout PDF with key points per section, the exercises you included, and space for notes.

Economics

Pricing example
$10 for 10 handouts (free: 1)
Daily math
2 packs a day x $10 = $20/day.
Target if you hit the daily math
Target: $550 - $750 / month if the daily math is hit

Audience and urgency

Audience: Corporate trainers, workshop hosts and coaches, including HRD Corp-registered trainers in Malaysia who need participant materials.

Urgency: Participants ask for a handout, and trainers either share the full slide deck or rebuild a document by hand. Slides alone don't make useful notes.

  • ✓ Extract slide text and speaker notes; group into sections
  • ✓ Handout with key points per section, exercises and notes space; content drawn only from the slides

  • - Do NOT keep uploaded decks after processing

One-shot master prompt

Build a "Slides to Handout" web app in React with Tailwind CSS and a serverless backend.
Core requirements:
1. Upload .pptx (extract slide titles, body text and speaker notes) or .pdf (text per page), or paste an outline; deck deleted right after extraction.
2. Group slides into sections (by title slides or user-adjusted ranges in an editor).
3. LLM writes 3-6 key points per section using only the extracted text; check each point against the source text and flag any point with terms not found in the section; detect exercises/activities and keep them verbatim.
4. Handout layout: cover (title, trainer, date, logo), sections with key points and lined notes space, exercises page; brand colour; A4/Letter PDF download.
5. Magic-link auth; free 1 handout; Stripe Checkout credit packs ($10 / 10 handouts).
