π€ Automating Academic Presentations with AI
This paragraph introduces the concept of using AI for creating academic presentations. The speaker recommends the 'gamma' app for its ease of use and demonstrates how to import a draft paper to generate a presentation. The process involves adjusting settings to condense content into cards, choosing a theme, and generating slides. The speaker also discusses the limitations of AI-generated images and suggests exporting the presentation to PowerPoint for further refinement, including adding graphs and data from the original paper.
π Crafting Presentation Narratives with Chat GPT
The speaker discusses using Chat GPT to create a structured narrative for a presentation. They provide the AI with the full text of a paper and request an outline for a presentation. Chat GPT generates a detailed outline, which the speaker then uses to guide the content generation in the 'gamma' app. The resulting presentation from Chat GPT includes a title slide, introduction, research objectives, materials and methods, key results, and conclusions. The speaker emphasizes the importance of a compelling narrative and the use of AI to streamline the presentation creation process.
π Telling a Compelling Story with Experimental Data
In this paragraph, the speaker addresses how to create a presentation when data is scattered and incomplete. They use Chat GPT to analyze a set of experimental figures and craft a story around them. Chat GPT identifies the figures as relevant to organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells and suggests a structure for the presentation, including an introduction to materials, objectives, experimental methods, and results. The speaker then uses this structure to create a 10-slide presentation in the 'gamma' app, emphasizing the importance of conciseness and leaving time for questions during the actual presentation.

Transcripts
you can now make academic presentations
using AI this is how I would do it the
first thing I would do is go over to
gamma. apppp that is the app we're going
to be using to create our AI
presentations not affiliated not
sponsored I think this is a really great
one though this is the easiest thing you
can do the first thing is if you are
working on a paper like a peer-reviewed
paper to to submit to a journal which
you should always be doing by the way
you can just put this in as a file and
it will generate its own presentation
based on the draft of the paper
currently writing and that's really easy
you go here to import a file this is the
one I'm working on at the moment this is
um a paper from my last postto before I
was fired um and uh here we are this is
what we were working on and you can see
that it's not finished it's got lots of
text it's got tables it's got uh lots of
graphs so here we can see what uh gamma
AI will do with this so we'll upload a
file we'll click here and we'll upload
the seed layer article that's really
easy we open it here and then you can
see we get into loads of options those
options will not really dictate what's
in there but it will sort of dictate the
quality of the um presentation and give
you lots of options as well so here we
are this is the seed layer article that
I want to uh transform into a
presentation and I click continue and
then they start configuring and working
with your file so here we've got the
settings which is what you should start
with first so you've got generate
condense and preserve here we want to
condense because we've got a lot of
content that we need to condense and you
can see it's got all of this uh
information here now I have upgraded to
Pro so I don't know why this one's down
here it was only $10 for a month um and
here I've got card by card so you can
see here it's saying well this card is
based on this stuff and then as we
scroll down blah blah blah blah blah BL
one card total well that's not what we
want is it so we'll go here to free form
and now we go Max text per card now this
is best for a presentation we've got
brief medium or detailed so we can go to
brief cuz I want it to be super brief
and then I can talk about it using um my
own words as opposed to just reading
from a slide which is really boring for
everyone involved um and then we got
output we got AI images um we're not
really going to be too concerned about
these because it's going to produce
images where it thinks it should produce
images but they are a bit rubbish we're
going to work with that a little bit
later and then we've also got image
model and where we want to grab it from
not important for us I don't think and
then all we have to do is pick a theme
we go through choose a theme that we
like I like this one and then we'll say
generate and you will see it generate
the slides live in front of your meaty
eyes and this is what it comes up with
so it's saying here this is the total
slide and look at this rubbish photo no
that's rubbish it's not very scientific
but that's all right we're not using
this for the um for the photos we're
using it for the content so here
metallic adhesive layers so we've got
that one we've got optimizing uh silver
thickness and then we've got seed layer
effects on reflectant then we've got
morphology and adhesion so it has done a
pretty good job at separating out the
things that we would want to talk about
and so then we've got adhesion
mechanisms we've got optimal seed layer
and conclusion so look this is a good
structure but it's not done a couple of
things so the first thing it's not
really done is put graphs in from our
actual paper so this is where we would
need to grab this one copy it across we
can put it into this slideshow by using
the interface on the web app so we can
go here and just say add an image upload
an image and then put an image in or
what I like to do is download it so we
can go up here and we can say export and
then we can export it to PowerPoint
brilliant then I can work with that a
little bit later this is a really sort
of like quick shortcut of getting design
and getting the content and getting the
story structure in one place and then
after that you can work on getting the
data properly presented in an outside
program like PowerPoint but this is not
my favorite way to do it at all this is
my favorite way to work with this
app I don't think gamma AI is very good
at coming up with the story structure a
really robust sort of narrative that you
can talk about during a presentation so
I prefer to use chat GPT first the first
thing I do is head over to chat gp4 this
is the one that I've paid for with my
hard-earned YouTube money and here I am
I'm saying I creating a presentation for
my PhD to attend a conference give it as
much context as it needs to do a good
job and need some help create a
structure can you help uh with this text
that was a bit rubbish prompt it but it
did all right can you help with this
text from a recent paper I wrote perfect
okay so we got Pathway to high
throughput lowcost indium 3 transparent
electrodes and all I did was take this
entire paper and I all I did was go
select all go contrl a there we are and
I just copied and pasted it all across
into here so I didn't actually like
format it I didn't sort of like say I
want the abstract on the introduction I
just sort of like mashed it all in and
said do your best and it did do its best
and this is why I like using this as a
first Port of core for creating the
narrative structure and blah blah blah
blah blah there it is or there there it
is come on now come on what a long paper
okay we at the references and there we
go okay and there it says for creating a
structured presentation for your PhD
conference based on your paper you can
organize into these slides title slide
introduction objective and I was like
yeah okay this is very very sort of like
high level give me the actual content so
here I said create an outline of slides
for content with 10 slides good another
great prompt Dandy well done certainly
here's more detailed outline so here we
go this is what I was actually
interested in title slide presentation
introduction research objective so all
of these are actually look you can see
it's got actual details in it and this
is what I wanted to use to put into
gamma uh AI so I copied and pasted all
of this across so there's this option
where you can go paste in text so I went
here pasted in the text and I went
through that exact same process so then
this is what happened I went here and
this was the output and you can see it
is a much more detailed um I think a
much more well-rounded story than the
one that was a little bit kind of just
like um a little bit of a scatter shot
of the content that I wanted here I've
got a nice flow a much better flow in my
opinion so we've got the need for
transparent electr which is like the
background we got the research objective
and you can see it's got bullet points
and then it's got materials and methods
you can see it actually has a go it sort
of like saying how I created these
transparent electrodes which I like but
obviously here I would just put the
schematic of the process that I used and
I uh generated throughout my research so
then we've got electrode fabrication
process which is great once again I
would just use the images that I've got
but this is a good start key results so
figure of Merit advantages performance
testing this is with opv devices once
again um good bullet points but I can
flesh this out much much more with
actual detail and data and then
conclusions and future directions so I
think overall this is a really great
start it's much better than just giving
it the word document we've allowed chat
GPT to sort of like work with the
narrative a little bit more lovely and
now this is what I did I went and I said
give me uh this in a PowerPoint
presentation and here is the PowerPoint
presentation now you can see that this
is the PowerPoint presentation and
there's plenty of space for doing other
stuff and get rid of it made with gamma
no I can't go um but you can see that
over here yeah I've got all of this
space I can play about with these slides
and importantly I can take the
information that I want so from this one
I can say know what I want this
schematic so I can go in grab that
schematic if I wanted capture it and
then in PowerPoint where would I put it
just down here materials and methods I
can say actually I want that in there
and I can't do that because I need to
save it first enable saving there we are
now we're talking this is the stuff made
of Dreams can I get R made with Gamino I
can yes you don't even need to pay for
the full subscription if you want to get
rid of that made with gamma okay where
were we going device electrode
fabrication process this is where I want
it there we are so I can put in my uh my
thing and I can play about with the
design I can may maybe even have this at
the top oh no this is going to take way
longer than I thought it was going to
okay I could have that one at the top
and then I could that one underneath and
perfect we're starting to work with the
data we've got sometimes you don't have
the full story to work with when you do
a presentation your supervisor comes to
you and says you're going to this
conference and you're like oh my god do
I have enough data do I not have enough
data trust me you've always got data
that you can present and a story you can
tell but you can use AI to make it super
obvious for you and this is how you do
that let's say you've been working for a
few months on your PhD you've got a few
graphs they're a bit scattered they're a
bit weird but you need to do a
presentation this is what I would do
first of all I would put in whatever I
had as an image file to chat gp4 the one
you have to pay for and uh I would
upload these so here you can see I've
got four figures this one is AFM data
this is IV curves this is uh wavelengths
of certain materials after they've been
heated so these are just like random
things I've put in there and I've asked
this I said I'm attending a conference
and have to give a presentation here is
the data I have collected can you help
me craft a compelling story from these
figures and then it does such a great
job this is why I love chat GPT Vision
it just knows um what the these are
about based on the text in the images
which is just fantastic so here it says
it looks like you have a rich set of
experimental data oh thank you very much
chat GPT saying all the right words and
it says these materials are commonly
used in the production of opv cells
which is correct your data includes
Atomic Force microscopy current density
voltage characteristic UV vs and x-ray
defraction patterns here's a story that
we can use so here we go we got
introduction to materials objective of
the study experimental methods this is
what I would use use to generate the
first draft of my presentation and if
you can see down here I said can you
give me the content for 10 slides based
on the structure above this is what I
wanted I wanted the actual text that I
would put in here so it says certainly
here is a detail breakdown for 10 slide
presentation and all I did was take this
I copied and pasted all of that in for
10 slides 10 slides one slide per minute
so that's what I was working on for a
10minute sort of like quick presentation
that quite often PhD students give
because you end up with like 5 minutes
for questions too many people put too
much information in their presentations
they talk for too long they don't have
time for questions make sure you're on
the little bit of a shorter side trust
me um it's much better to have time at
the end than to rush through your slides
because just pancks everyone in the
crowd um so all I did was take now back
to this by the way um I will take all of
this we'll copy it across and so then I
would go to new paste in text then I
would paste in the text here and I would
say presentation and I'd say continue
and then we'd wait we'd allow the AI
Gods to do what they had to do oh that
was quick um and then we've got this
generate okay no I want to condense or I
want to preserve so reformat while
keeping your original content let's try
that no we'll always try our best to
preserve your content we can't guarantee
an exact match excellent thanks very
much then I've got presentation format I
don't want carard size to be fluid I
want this exporting to PowerPoint or
Google slides and then I'm going to say
continue and I want that says 10 cards
there we are and we're just going to oh
first of all we're going to do the um
the design stuff okay here we go what do
I want what professional let's have a
look at professional okay body that one
that's pretty professional I like that
one boom now we wait we enter the AI God
Realm here it is spitting it out in
front of me it's doing such a good job
there we are slide one already done
slide two already done slide three slide
four and this is how it works so I'm
very impressed with how it can just sort
of like mash stuff together to make a
presentation and then what I would do
like you saw before I would take this
and I would then take it to PowerPoint
and I would work on it in there this is
how I would use AI to create academic
presentations super easy you should be
thinking about using something like this
too because it takes away all of those
first steps that are really annoying and
hold you up you can take this work it
with it in PowerPoint and start working
on the important things which is
generating the story putting the graphs
in making sure it's obvious to your
audience exactly what you're talking
about that is what you need to do if you
like this video and you're doing a
presentation soon check out this one
where I talk about how to deliver a
killer presentation in academic circles
make sure you're remembered for all the
right reasons go check it
