Unlock Productivity: Auto-Generate Presentation Notes with AI Vision Instruct Models

Tired of spending hours crafting presentation notes? Discover how AI Vision Instruct models can revolutionize your workflow, saving you time and ensuring your talking points are perfectly aligned with your slides. This guide will walk you through using these powerful models, even if you aren't an AI expert. Learn how to leverage the latest AI technology to create compelling presentations with ease.

What are Vision Instruct Models and Why Should You Care?

Vision Instruct models are cutting-edge AI that combine visual understanding with natural language processing. These models analyze images and text together. They are useful for tasks like image captioning, visual question answering, and generating summaries from visual data.

• For busy professionals: Quickly generate presentation notes from slide decks.
• For educators: Create accessible and descriptive alt-text for images.
• For data scientists: Automate content tagging for image-heavy reports.

Automate Your Workflow: The Power of AI Slide Summarization

Manually creating slide summaries is a time-consuming task. Vision Instruct models automate this process, interpreting slide images and generating concise summaries tailored to your presentation's abstract. Save time and focus on delivering a compelling presentation.

Think beyond just slide summaries. Use Vision Instruct models to generate alt-text for images, automate content tagging, and create quick previews for reports. Unlock AI-driven efficiency across your projects.

Hands-On: Generate Presentation Notes from Slides Using AI

Let's dive into generating presentation notes using Vision Instruct models. This step-by-step guide will show you how to convert your slides into images, integrate them with the AI model, and get concise summaries.

Prerequisites:

1. Developer Environment: A Linux or Mac-based computer (Windows users can use a VM).
2. Python: Python 3.10 or newer installed.
3. Libraries: Install necessary libraries using pip install huggingface_hub.
4. ImageMagick: Install ImageMagick for PDF to image conversion.
5. Presentation: A slide deck in PDF format.

Step 1: Deploy Vision Instruct on DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean simplifies Vision Instruct model deployment:

1. Create a GPU Droplet on DigitalOcean.
2. Select the Vision Instruct model through the 1-Click Apps.
3. Your model is ready to use.

Step 2: Convert Slides to Images

Use ImageMagick to convert your PDF slide deck to PNG images:

magick your_presentation.pdf slide_%03d.png

This command generates images named slide_001.png, slide_002.png, etc. Create a subfolder named slides_images to store these. Ensure your presentation images are named sequentially for better output.

Next, upload the entire slides_images folder to a DigitalOcean Spaces bucket. Set folder permissions to 'Public' to allow image access via URLs.

Step 3: Generate Summaries with Vision Instruct

Use the following Python script to interact with your Vision Instruct model:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os
from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient

# Configuration
BASE_URL = "http://<REPLACE WITH YOUR 1-CLICK MODEL IP>/v1"
API_KEY = "<REPLACE WITH YOUR BEARER_TOKEN>"
IMAGES_DIR = "./slides_images"
IMAGE_URL_PREFIX = "<YOUR UNIQUE DIGITALOCEAN BUCKET NAME>/slides_images"
ABSTRACT_TEXT = "<REPLACE WITH A SESSION ABSTRACT FOR YOUR SLIDES>"

client = InferenceClient(
    base_url=BASE_URL,
    api_key=API_KEY
)

def generate_slide_summary(slide_file: str, slide_number: int, abstract_text: str) -> str:
    slide_url = f" {IMAGE_URL_PREFIX}/{slide_file}"
    messages = [
        {"role": "user", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": f"Presentation Abstract: {abstract_text}"}]},
        {"role": "user", "content": [{"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": slide_url}},
                                     {"type": "text", "text": f"Slide number {slide_number}. Please summarize this slide based on the context of the abstract."}]},
    ]
    response = client.chat.completions.create(messages=messages, temperature=0.7, top_p=0.95, max_tokens=150)
    return response["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]

def main():
    slide_images = sorted([f for f in os.listdir(IMAGES_DIR) if f.lower().endswith(".png")])
    if not slide_images:
        print("No slide images found in the specified directory.")
        return
    for idx, slide_file in enumerate(slide_images, start=1):
        print(f"\n--- Generating summary for {slide_file} ---")
        slide_summary = generate_slide_summary(slide_file, idx, ABSTRACT_TEXT)
        print(f"Summary:\n{slide_summary}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Remember to replace the placeholders:

1. BASE_URL: Your Droplet's IP address.
2. API_KEY: Your Bearer Token from the Droplet.
3. IMAGE_URL_PREFIX: Your DigitalOcean Spaces bucket URL.
4. ABSTRACT_TEXT: Your presentation's abstract.

Execute the script to generate slide-by-slide summaries.
