I built SlideScholar to solve a pain point I kept seeing: researchers spending 6-10 hours making slides for 15-minute conference talks.

Upload a PDF or ArXiv URL, pick your talk length, and get an editable .pptx presentation with assertion-evidence titles, extracted figures and tables, and speaker notes with timing cues.

Stack: Next.js frontend on Vercel, Python/FastAPI backend on Railway, Claude API for content planning, python-pptx for slide generation.
