# Reconstructed Slides: Your Attention Is the Bottleneck, Not Your Agents — Zack Proser, WorkOS

## Source Video
[Your Attention Is the Bottleneck, Not Your Agents — Zack Proser, WorkOS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so9l_MwS2yg)

## 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.

## Reconstructed Slides
![[assets/reconstructed-slides/so9l_MwS2yg/slide-002.jpg]]

- Recreated text/layout view: [open HTML recreation](/assets/slide-recreations/reconstructed/so9l_MwS2yg/slide-002.html)
- AI slide classifier: `content_slide` confidence `0.94`
- Text source: advanced OCR `rapidocr-live/bright-screen/contrast`.
- OCR decision: ready — Screenshot-heavy slide with small UI/code text; OCR is likely better than manual transcription.

- Recreated text/layout view: [open HTML recreation](/assets/slide-recreations/reconstructed/so9l_MwS2yg/slide-005.html)
- AI slide classifier: `diagram` confidence `0.96`
- Text source: advanced OCR `rapidocr-live/bright-screen/opencv-adaptive`.
- OCR decision: ready — Mixed diagram plus embedded screenshot with small labels; OCR should recover the detailed body copy and UI text better than manual triage.

### Hidden Non-Slide Evidence
- [`slide-001.jpg`](/assets/reconstructed-slides/so9l_MwS2yg/slide-001.jpg) — `sponsor_logo` confidence `0.98`; Sponsor/logo wall only.
- [`slide-006.jpg`](/assets/reconstructed-slides/so9l_MwS2yg/slide-006.jpg) — `other` confidence `0.0`; missing batch classifier result
- [`slide-007.jpg`](/assets/reconstructed-slides/so9l_MwS2yg/slide-007.jpg) — `speaker_stage` confidence `0.98`; Stage photo with presenter and audience; projected slide is not the primary readable slide frame.
- [`slide-008.jpg`](/assets/reconstructed-slides/so9l_MwS2yg/slide-008.jpg) — `sponsor_logo` confidence `0.99`; Logo/title card rather than a substantive presentation slide.
