This post is for paid members only.

For trivial tasks - like converting pdf to PowerPoint - are there other tools that do it automatically? Or by trivial, you mean time consuming reduction of basic facts from a pdf into a PowerPoint presentation? I have to tell you, the most valuable thing I don't have in a day is time.

When I could, I try to get AI to write a script to do certain things and use the script from then onwards.

Makes it deterministic as well as saves cost.

Non techies don’t get that though. They will use opus to translate audio or whatever

A script can't pull facts out of a PDF, but you certainly don't need 2T param frontier model to do that either.
