What Agenda Slide Maker does, with a checked example

Paste or type your agenda items, one per line, each with an optional time allocation such as '10 min', and the tool numbers them in order, pairs each with an icon, and lays them out on a single slide sized for a deck. It handles the layout math - row spacing, number alignment, a running time total - so you are not nudging text boxes by hand. The thing people miss: an item left without a time value still gets numbered and displayed, but it drops out of the total shown at the bottom, so that total can read lower than the meeting actually runs.

Worked example

A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.

Input

Welcome & Introductions - 5 min
Q3 Roadmap Review - 15 min
Budget Discussion - 10 min
Open Q&A - 10 min

Expected output

A four-row numbered slide (1-4), each row showing its title, an icon, and its time at the right edge; footer reads 'Total: 40 min'.

The four time values parsed from the lines (5, 15, 10, 10) sum to 40, which is the figure the footer displays.

How the result is produced

Line parsing

Each input line is split into a title and an optional time value, typically separated by a dash or a trailing 'min'/'minutes' token. Items are numbered sequentially starting at 1 regardless of whether a time was found, and each row is matched to an icon from a built-in set based on the item text or a default fallback.

Totals and slide layout

Parsed time values are summed into a footer total, and rows are distributed down a fixed-aspect slide canvas (commonly 16:9), with row height scaling as item count grows so a short list fills the slide and a long one gets compressed rather than automatically paginated.

Good uses

Building an opening slide for a client call or standup that lists topics with time boxes attached
Making a table of contents slide for a training deck or webinar outline
Setting up a recurring team meeting template with a standard set of agenda items and durations

Limits and checks

Time formats outside the expected pattern - 'quarter hour', a range like '5-10 min', or no unit at all - may fail to parse, and that item then silently drops out of the total without an error
Icons are assigned automatically per row; the match to the item's actual content is not guaranteed to be meaningful, so each icon is worth a manual check before presenting
The slide uses a fixed aspect ratio, and it isn't documented how many rows fit before text gets cramped or truncated - long agendas may need to be split by hand into two slides

Common questions

Can I swap the icon it picks for a given agenda item?

This isn't documented either way. If the tool's interface shows an icon picker per row, yes; if it only auto-assigns, you'd need to rename the item to trigger a different match, or add the icon yourself after exporting.

Does an item without a time still count toward the total shown on the slide?

No. Items missing a time value are still numbered and listed, but they're excluded from the summed total in the footer. If you want every row reflected, give it an explicit value, even '0 min', rather than leaving it blank.
