Hey HN,
I just launched a feature that lets you turn any website into engaging slideshows with AI. No manual editing required; just paste your URL, and the AI handles the rest. This is built using ChatGPT 4 for prompt generation and Railway for backend hosting.
Why Slideshows Matter:
- Engagement: People are more likely to swipe through engaging visuals than read a block of text.
- Efficiency: No more hours spent designing or writing copy—AI does it all.
How It Works:
1. Paste URL: Users input their website URL.
2. AI Processing: Our AI extracts key information and turns it into a swipeable slideshow.
3. Ready to Share: Output is ready for social media platforms.
Tech Behind It:
- ChatGPT 4o:For intelligent content extraction and slideshow template generation.
- Railway: For hosting and managing the backend infrastructure.
This was motivated by the challenge of making compelling content without design skills. If anyone’s interested in the tech stack or has feedback, would love to discuss!

I wrote the blocks of text on my Web site specifically to say the entire story in as few words as possible. I put illustrations and diagrams to help humans understand.
This creates nothing new, and users of it will miss important points.
If I may be so bold, the use of "content" instead of specific words, like "text", "story", "article", "diagram", "graph", "video", is where you started to go wrong. "Content" erases category distinctions, and like the phrases "human resources" and "product", makes it possible to weaken respect for those categories, and the intent of the people who present them.
