[What and why:]
Rolling out in Frontier, this skill reads the whole deck: slides, charts, tables and speaker notes, and hands back an impartial guide: the gist, the ask, the key takeaways, key numbers and open questions.
This experience can help users review and understand presentations more efficiently and identify information that may require further attention.
