I hate presenting. Not the prep, not the content, the actual moment of unmuting, sharing my screen, and narrating 20 slides to a wall of black camera squares, having no idea if anyone's actually listening or just quietly making lunch.
So a couple weekends ago I went down a rabbit hole and built something to get me out of that.
It's called Meeting Presenter. It's an AI skill that joins the call and presents the deck for you. You just... sit there. Steer it if you feel like it. Or don't.
What it actually does
You hand it a deck, it joins the meeting, shares its screen, and talks through the slides on its own. Not in a flat text-to-speech way either, it walks through the content more like a person explaining it than a bot reading bullet points.
The part that actually got me hooked, though, wasn't the presenting, it's that you don't even need a finished deck to use it. If you've got a PowerPoint or PDF already, it'll just present that. If you've only got some rough notes, it'll turn those into slides first. And if you've got nothing but a vague idea, you can hand it a single sentence and it'll build the deck from scratch before presenting it.
Which means the laziest possible version of this is: think up a topic five minutes before standup, type it in, and let it build and present the thing while you drink your coffee. I'm not proud of how often I've already done this.
Setting it up
Took me less than 10 minutes, most of which was making coffee while it installed.
Grab a free API key from agentcall.dev - no lengthy signup, just a few seconds.
Install it. Two options depending on how hands-on you want to be:
Recommended: paste the GitHub repo link to your coding agent and tell it to install it. It clones and sets everything up for you.
Or clone it manually and run it with your meeting link and deck. No config files to hand-edit.
What it's actually like on a call
It joins like any other participant, and it asks before it starts presenting rather than just barging in mid-meeting, which I appreciated the first time I tested it and wasn't sure what to expect.
Once it's going, you can still jump in, say "next slide" or "go back" and it listens, or jump straight to slide 7 if someone asks a question out of order. Or just let it run top to bottom and stay quiet.
I tried it on a genuinely boring internal update deck, and it was honestly more engaging than when I present it myself. Which says more about my presenting than about the tool.
Why I think this is more than a gimmick
Async teams, people presenting in a second language, folks who get anxious presenting live, teams drowning in recurring status meetings where a consistent narrator every week is actually more useful than novelty.
If you build something on top of it, I'd genuinely like to see it, drop it in the comments. Curious if anyone hooks this up to auto-generate decks from a Slack thread or a Notion doc, that's my next rabbit hole.
Repo's on GitHub if you want to poke at it.
