>This is a great idea.
Thank you.
>I've worked as a teacher and I think people severely underestimate the amount of time teachers have to prepare lessons.
Yes absolutely. I was spending a lot of time in ChatGPT for brainstorming about a year ago and that's where the idea for SlideHero came about.
>That said, I don't think I would use it to create an entire lesson.
Agreed, the purpose of SlideHero is not to "take over" a teachers planning and lesson delivery, I've designed it to be an value add, which is why I devoted a fair amount of effort to the additional activites that come with every presentation.
>If I were still teaching, I would definitely try it out for that.
I'll take that as high praise considering you're not a huge fan of LLMs :)
>I would consider making it easier for teachers to share what they've created with each other.
Yes for sure. That viral hook is soon to come. I have ideas for a marketplace where teachers can list their presentations and make some money selling them too, but I'm getting a little carried away now ... that's for further down the line.

Heh:-) I mean to say that I've not really encountered a convincing use case for them before now. From my point of view, your tool is perhaps the closest to a killer application for LLMs that I've seen.
If there's one occupation that requires a full-time assistant, it's the high-school teacher. But as we all know, that's an unobtainable luxury so this might be the perfect use for an LLM.

I wish you all the best in this. It's very inspiring.
