Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about switching from Decktopus to Seminara.

Decktopus generates slide decks from text prompts with basic lead forms. Seminara deploys an autonomous live presenter that navigates your slides, speaks with real-time voice, handles live voice interruptions, and converts high-intent buyers in dedicated private sessions.

Yes. Simply upload your existing slide decks or PDFs directly into Seminara. We automatically convert them into an interactive presentation with an autonomous presenter, no complex video generation pipelines or avatar timelines required.

Seminara is purpose-built for go-to-market teams. While platforms like Decktopus focus heavily on raw video avatar generation or developer APIs, Seminara provides an autonomous live presentation platform that natively qualifies leads and answers questions live by voice.

Absolutely. Seminara natively integrates with HubSpot, Salesforce, and webhook endpoints. When an attendee asks high-intent questions during a presentation, Seminara logs that intent data and routes qualified lead signals directly to your team.

Migration takes less than 5 minutes. You do not need to write code or configure avatar timelines. Just upload your slides and your knowledge base documents, and Seminara automatically configures your autonomous presenter.

Seminara is designed to be transparent and direct. The interface clearly communicates that attendees are interacting with an autonomous presenter trained on your company's verified documentation. Attendees prefer this format because they get immediate, accurate answers to their specific questions without waiting for an end-of-call Q&A.
