# Dense Slides: Building a Smarter AI Agent with Neural RAG - Will Bryk, Exa.ai

## Source Video
[Building a Smarter AI Agent with Neural RAG - Will Bryk, Exa.ai](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnXqpUW_Kp8)

## Method
This deck is slide-only. The existing captured video frame set supplies candidate frames, then local OpenCV rejects sponsor/title/speaker-only frames, crops visible slide surfaces, deduplicates, and saves the cropped slide images.

## Cropped Visible Slides
