Build a Presentation with AI
Slides are "70% structure, 30% formatting." AI is good at designing structure and turning it into an outline. Use a dedicated tool (later chapter) for formatting.
Structure Design
Audience [XX], time available [X minutes], goal [decision / understanding]. Give me a slide structure with one consistent logic, stating each slide's claim (one message per slide).
Outline → Formatting
- Have it produce "heading + 3 key points + talking points" for each slide
- Direct "conclusion first" and where to insert concrete examples
- Pass formatting to a dedicated tool like Gamma (next chapter onward)
Refinement
- "Check that each slide's message is narrowed to one"
- "Give me 10 anticipated Q&A with draft answers"
- Have it separately craft a "30-second opening hook"
Caution
One message per slide and don't overload text are iron rules. AI is a sounding board for structure; the substance of your claims and the numbers are your responsibility.
