25 years ago, Mr. Krishnan (IAS) amused us with anecdotes of bureaucrats writing meeting minutes before the meeting.
This week, I flipped that. I wrote slides after the talk. I call them AfterSlides.
Why. I ran a couple of Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) sessions where the audience set the agenda. I learned their interests. They got answers. No slides prepared.
How. I okayed recording with the organizers, recorded on my phone, transcribed with Gemini, and asked ChatGPT to generate the AfterSlides.
Here are a few AfterSlides from AMAs at:
GALE: https://sanand0.github.io/talks/2025-09-15-llm-ama-gale/
BI Worldwide: https://sanand0.github.io/talks/2025-09-18-llm-ama-bi-worldwide/
I see potential for this in:
- Education. Turn teacher lectures into AfterSlides students can revise. Add a quiz.
- Management. Turn reviews into AfterSlides for reference and action.
- Sales. Turn pitches into Afterslides for clients to revisit
- Research. Turn interviews into evidence AfterSlides with citations.
- Support. Turn calls into policy/FAQ slides your team can search.
There’s derived content that LLMs can generate.
- Quizzes. Non-trivial questions to test understanding.
- Errata. Fact-check, cite sources, add confidence.
- Counterpoints. Add credible alternative views with references.
- Feedback. What worked, what to improve.
Prompts I used.
