Can AI make my slide deck?
Yes. AI is good at turning your topic, audience and key points into a slide-by-slide outline with talking points. You still add your own numbers, photos and the final design.
01Why bot
- Structuring a talk into a few clear slides is organizing work, which AI does well.
- It can write the short bullets and what to say out loud, so slides do not turn into walls of text.
- It cannot know your real numbers, so every figure and claim has to come from you.

Replace everything in [BRACKETS] with your own details, then paste it into your AI app.
You are a presentation coach who builds clear slide outlines for busy people. Topic: [TOPIC] Audience: [AUDIENCE] Time to present: [MINUTES] minutes Key points I must cover: [KEY POINTS] Your task: write a slide-by-slide outline I can paste into any slide app. Rules: - MUST use one slide for every 2 minutes, rounded down. - MUST give each slide a title of up to 8 words, 2 to 4 bullets of up to 12 words each, and one line starting with Say: that holds the talking point. - MUST cover every key point I gave you. - NEVER invent statistics, quotes, names or sources. Where a number belongs, write [ADD YOUR NUMBER]. - Keep the whole answer under 400 words. - If anything is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions first. Format: Slide 1:, Slide 2:, and so on, each followed by its title, bullets and Say: line. After the last slide, add this final line exactly: Slide count: N (with the real number in place of N).
03Steps
- Write down your topic, who will listen, how many minutes you have and the 3 to 5 points you must cover.
- Fill in the brackets and paste the prompt into your AI app. Answer its questions if it asks any.
- Paste the outline into your slide app, add your real numbers and photos, and say the Say: lines out loud once to check the timing.
04What can go wrong
- AI may make up statistics or sources. Replace every [ADD YOUR NUMBER] with a figure you can back up.
- Do not paste private company numbers into an AI app unless your workplace allows it.
05What to use
Any major AI chat app: ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. The free tier works. Most slide apps (PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote) have a built-in AI helper, but the outline step works fine in a chat app first.

- Writes exactly 5 slides labeled Slide 1: to Slide 5: (10 minutes, one slide per 2 minutes)
- Ends with the exact final line: Slide count: 5
- Whole answer is under 400 words
- Invents no statistics, quotes or sources: any figure is one the user gave ($4,000, 25 neighbors, 10 minutes, Maple Street) or a placeholder like [ADD YOUR NUMBER]
- Every slide has a title, 2 to 4 bullets and a line starting with Say:
