How to Create Presentations with Hermes Agent Using Felo Slides
Three ways to generate presentations in Hermes Agent — from scratch, from existing content, or from video.
How to Create Presentations with Hermes Agent Using Felo Slides
Building a presentation usually means two hours of formatting for ten minutes of thinking. You research a topic, figure out what matters, then spend the rest of the afternoon dragging text boxes around in PowerPoint.
Hermes Agent with Felo Skills collapses that into a single conversation. You research, the agent builds the deck. You refine with follow-up prompts, the agent updates the slides. Everything happens in one thread, and the agent remembers what you asked for.
This guide covers three ways to generate presentations in Hermes Agent:
1. From scratch — describe what you want, get a deck (Felo Slides)
2. From existing content — feed it notes, docs, or URLs (Felo Content to Slides)
3. From video — extract a YouTube transcript and turn it into slides (Felo YouTube Subtitling + Felo Content to Slides)
Time required: 10-15 minutes for setup, then seconds per deck.
Prerequisites
You need Hermes Agent installed with Felo Skills loaded.
Install Hermes Agent (skip if already installed):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
Install Felo Skills:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Felo-Inc/felo-skills/main/scripts/install-hermes.sh)
Restart Hermes Agent after installation. Verify:
hermes skills list | grep -i felo
You should see Felo Slides, Felo Content to Slides, and Felo YouTube Subtitling in the list.
Method 1: Generate presentations from scratch with Felo Slides
Felo Slides generates PowerPoint decks directly from natural language prompts. No templates needed.
Basic deck generation
Start a chat session and describe what you want:
Create a 10-slide presentation about the current state of AI agents in 2026. Include:
- Title slide
- Market overview with key statistics
- Top 5 frameworks by adoption
- Use case breakdown (research, coding, automation)
- Comparison table of features
- Pricing landscape
- Adoption trends
- Challenges and limitations
- Future outlook
- Summary and key takeaways
Hermes Agent calls Felo Slides and generates a complete PPT file. The output includes structure, content, and formatting.
Research-informed presentations
The real power shows up when you combine Felo Slides with research skills in the same thread.
Step 1: Research the topic
Use Felo Search to find the latest data on AI agent adoption in enterprise companies. Focus on 2026 statistics, market size, and growth projections.
Step 2: Go deeper on specific sources
Use Felo Web Fetch to extract the full content from these two reports:
- https://example.com/ai-agent-market-report-2026
- https://example.com/enterprise-ai-adoption-survey
Step 3: Generate the deck from research
Based on all the research we just gathered, create a 15-slide investor presentation covering:
- Market opportunity (use the actual statistics we found)
- Competitive landscape (reference the specific companies we researched)
- Our positioning and differentiation
- Growth projections (cite the market reports)
- Ask and next steps
Because Hermes Agent maintains context, the slides are populated with real data from your research — not generic placeholder text.
Iterating on slides
You do not need to get it perfect on the first try. Refine with follow-up prompts:
Slide 3 needs more detail on the competitive landscape. Add a comparison matrix with these columns: framework name, GitHub stars, primary use case, pricing model, and memory support.
The conclusion is too generic. Rewrite it with three specific action items based on the competitive gaps we identified in the research.
Add a new slide after slide 7 showing a timeline of major AI agent releases in 2026.
Each iteration builds on the previous version. The agent remembers the full context.
Method 2: Convert existing content with Felo Content to Slides
Felo Content to Slides works with material you already have — meeting notes, research documents, blog posts, URLs.
Convert meeting notes
I have notes from our quarterly planning meeting. Convert them into a 12-slide executive summary deck.
Focus on:
- Decisions made
- Action items with owners
- Timeline and milestones
- Budget implications
- Risks identified
Here are the meeting notes:
[Paste your notes here]
The agent reads your notes, identifies the key information, and structures it into a presentation format.
Convert a document or URL
Convert this blog post into a presentation: https://example.com/blog/ai-trends-2026
Create 8-10 slides covering the main points. Keep the original structure but make it presentation-friendly with bullet points and key takeaways.
Convert multiple sources into one deck
This is where Content to Slides becomes particularly powerful:
Create a single product strategy presentation from these three sources:
1. Our Q1 sales report (paste or attach)
2. Customer feedback summary from the support team
3. The competitive analysis from our earlier research
Structure it as a 20-slide deck covering:
- Current performance (from sales report)
- Customer needs and pain points (from feedback)
- Competitive landscape (from analysis)
- Proposed product roadmap
- Resource requirements
- Timeline
The agent synthesizes all three sources into a coherent narrative.
When to use Slides vs Content to Slides
Method 3: Turn videos into presentations
This method chains Felo YouTube Subtitling with Felo Content to Slides to turn video content into slide decks.
Extract and convert a single video
Step 1: Extract the transcript
Use Felo YouTube Subtitling to extract the transcript from this video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=EXAMPLE
Include timestamps for each major topic.
Step 2: Convert to slides
Take the transcript we just extracted and create a 10-slide presentation covering:
- Speaker's main thesis
- Key arguments with supporting evidence
- Notable quotes (with timestamps)
- Actionable takeaways
- Summary
Build a presentation from multiple videos
Extract transcripts from these three conference talks:
- https://youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO1
- https://youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO2
- https://youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO3
Then create a single 15-slide "State of AI Agents" presentation that synthesizes the key insights from all three talks. Attribute ideas to specific speakers.
Repurpose a product demo video
Extract the transcript from our product demo video: [URL]
Create two presentations:
1. A 10-slide sales deck highlighting features and benefits shown in the demo
2. A 5-slide internal training deck covering the technical details discussed
One video becomes two different presentations, each tailored to its audience.
Complete workflow: Research to presentation
Here is a real-world workflow that chains research and presentation skills together.
Scenario: You need to create a market analysis presentation for your leadership team.
I need to build a market analysis presentation. Let's do this step by step:
1. Use Felo Search to research the current state of the AI search engine market in 2026. Find market size, growth rate, key players, and recent funding rounds.
2. Use Felo Web Fetch to extract detailed feature pages from the top 3 AI search engines.
3. Use Felo X Search to check what users are saying about each tool on social media.
4. Create a 15-slide presentation with:
- Title: "AI Search Engine Market Analysis — Q2 2026"
- Market overview with actual statistics
- Player profiles (one slide each for top 3)
- Feature comparison matrix
- Social sentiment summary
- Market gaps and opportunities
- Our positioning recommendation
- Next steps
5. Add all research and the final deck to a LiveDoc collection called "Market Analysis Q2 2026"
Hermes Agent executes all five steps in sequence. The presentation is informed by real research data, not generic content.
Automating recurring presentations
Some presentations need to be generated regularly — weekly reports, monthly reviews, quarterly updates.
Use Felo SuperAgent to automate the workflow:
Set up a recurring workflow using Felo SuperAgent:
Every Friday at 4pm:
1. Use Felo Search to find this week's top AI news
2. Use Felo X Search to check trending AI topics on social media
3. Create a 5-slide "Weekly AI Roundup" deck using Felo Slides
4. Add the deck to the "Weekly Roundups" LiveDoc collection
5. Send the deck to my Telegram
Now your weekly presentation generates itself.
Tips for better AI presentations
Be specific about structure. Instead of "create a presentation about AI," say "create a 12-slide presentation with a title slide, 3 slides on market data, 4 slides on competitor analysis, 2 slides on recommendations, and a summary slide."
Include data requirements. If you want specific statistics, charts, or comparisons, say so explicitly. The agent will pull from research context or generate appropriate content.
Iterate in conversation. Generate a first draft, review it, then refine specific slides. This is faster than trying to get everything perfect in one prompt.
Research first, present second. The best presentations come from research done in the same thread. Use Felo Search and Felo Web Fetch before calling Felo Slides.
Archive everything. Use Felo LiveDoc to store both the research and the final presentation. Next quarter, you can query your archive and build on previous work.
Combine video and web sources. Felo YouTube Subtitling and Felo Web Fetch work well together. Extract video transcripts for depth, fetch web pages for breadth, then synthesize both into a single deck.
What you can build
With these three presentation skills, you can create:
- Weekly status reports that pull from live research
- Competitive analysis decks informed by real market data
- Meeting recap presentations from raw notes
- Training materials from documentation or video content
- Pitch decks backed by current market statistics
- Conference talk summaries from YouTube videos
- Product briefings from demo recordings
All generated inside Hermes Agent, in conversation threads that maintain context and improve over time.
