Nobody enjoys making presentations. The blank slide deck, the “what should I even say” paralysis, the last-minute scramble for speaker notes. AI handles the structure so you can focus on delivery.

The Slide Outline (5 minutes)

“Create a slide outline for a [duration] presentation on [topic] for [audience]. Include: title slide, agenda, [number] content slides with headlines and 3 bullet points each, a summary slide, and a Q&A slide. The presentation should tell a story — problem, solution, evidence, next steps.”

Speaker Notes

Bullet points on slides are for the audience. Speaker notes are for you:

“Write speaker notes for each slide in this presentation outline: [paste outline]. For each slide: what to say (conversational, not scripted), how long to spend on it, and a transition sentence to the next slide. Total presentation time: [duration]. I want to sound natural, not like I’m reading.”

The Opening That Hooks

The first 30 seconds determine whether people pay attention or check their phones:

“Write 3 different opening hooks for a presentation about [topic] to [audience]. Option 1: start with a surprising statistic. Option 2: start with a short story or scenario. Option 3: start with a provocative question. Each should be under 30 seconds and make the audience want to hear more.”

Handling Q&A

The Q&A is where most presenters panic. Prepare for it:

“I’m presenting about [topic] to [audience]. Predict the 5 most likely questions they’ll ask, including 1-2 tough or skeptical questions. For each: the question, a concise answer (under 30 seconds), and a bridge back to my key message if the question goes off-topic.”

The Executive Summary Slide

If you’re presenting to leadership, they want the answer first:

“I have a [number]-slide presentation about [topic]. Create an executive summary slide that goes right after the title. It should answer: what’s the situation, what do I recommend, what’s the impact, and what do I need from this audience. Keep it to 4-5 bullet points. Leaders should be able to make a decision from this slide alone.”

Adapting for Different Audiences

The same content needs different framing depending on who’s in the room:

“I need to present [topic] to two different audiences: [audience A — e.g., technical team] and [audience B — e.g., executive leadership]. Create two versions of the key message and slide structure. The technical version should include data and methodology. The executive version should focus on business impact and decisions needed.”

The Post-Presentation Follow-Up

“Write a follow-up email after my presentation on [topic] to [audience]. Include: a thank you, the 3 key takeaways, any action items discussed, and an offer to answer additional questions. Attach the deck. Keep it brief — if they wanted more detail, they’d have asked during Q&A.”

The best presentations feel effortless. That’s not because the presenter is naturally gifted — it’s because they prepared well. AI makes that preparation fast enough to actually do it.
