AskSia gives a structured summary for every slide, with the slide title, the key claim, and supporting points laid out clearly. Useful for fast review and converting slides into study guides.
Per-slide summaries
Speaker note extraction
AskSia reads the speaker notes attached to each slide and includes them in the summary, useful for understanding the professor's full delivery (not just what is on screen).
Speaker notes included
Cited to the exact slide
Every claim in the summary carries a [N] marker with a slide number. Hover to see the source slide preview. Click to jump into the deck at that slide.

How do I summarize a PowerPoint deck with AskSia?
Drag the PPTX or PPT file into AskSia, or paste a public Google Slides link. AskSia parses every slide (titles, bullets, body, speaker notes) and returns a slide-by-slide summary with [N] citations linking to the exact slide number. Hover any [N] to see the source slide preview.
What slide formats does AskSia support?

Does AskSia read speaker notes?
Yes. AskSia reads the speaker notes attached to each slide and includes them in the summary, useful when the professor's notes cover material that is not on screen. Speaker notes appear cited to the same slide number as the visible content.

Can AskSia handle slides with charts and images?
Yes. AskSia reads chart titles and labels, image captions, and embedded text. For complex charts, AskSia describes what the chart shows and cites the slide number, useful for catching the conceptual content even when the chart itself is dense.
