Investigation Report: TextToSlides (1:18534)
Summary
TextToSlides is an AI-powered text-to-presentation agent registered on Ethereum mainnet. Unlike many hollow registrations, this agent has a functioning A2A endpoint, a polished web interface, and a real Gemini-powered backend. However, it lacks social presence, operates on a throwaway Vercel subdomain, and the owner has minimal on-chain history.

Verdict: 🟡 Yellow (50/100)
TextToSlides demonstrates genuine technical capability — the A2A endpoint works, the AI backend is real, and the web interface is polished. This is not a hollow registration. However, the complete absence of social presence, throwaway domain, minimal on-chain history, and no external credibility signals prevent a higher rating. The builder has skills but hasn't invested in establishing identity or reputation beyond the code. Promising but unproven.
