Step-by-step walkthrough

  1. 1

    Write a tight briefing prompt

    Give the AI: your audience, your goal, the time limit for the presentation, and the main message.

    πŸ’¬ Prompt to use:
    Create a 10-slide PowerPoint outline for a quarterly business review. Audience: senior leadership. Goal: show Q1 sales performance and Q2 priorities. Time: 15 minutes. Include a title slide, executive summary, 3 performance slides, 2 challenge slides, 2 priority slides, and a next steps slide.
  2. 2

    Review and edit the outline

    Paste the outline into a doc. Cut any slides that feel redundant. Reorder if needed. You should have 8–12 slides max.

  3. 3

    Build in PowerPoint

    Create one slide per section. Use the AI bullet points as your content placeholder, then replace with your real data.

  4. 4

    Ask for speaker notes

    For each slide, ask: "Write 2–3 sentences of speaker notes for this slide: [paste slide content]"

    πŸ’‘ Pro tip: Keep each slide to one idea. If a slide has more than 5 bullets, split it.
