# Reconstructed 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 reconstructed from the existing video frame captures by detecting likely slide regions with OpenCV, cropping/upscaling those regions, deduplicating similar crops, and OCRing the cropped slide images locally. It is a cleaner companion to the full-stage frame deck.
