# Dense Slides: Agents for Everything Else — swyx

## Source Video
[Agents for Everything Else — swyx](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zepu8Kk6FBQ)

## 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

- OCR decision: ready — Dense small body text and multi-column screenshot content are better handled by OCR than direct transcription.
