Creating presentations

Outline slides and talking points with AI assistance.

AI can help you structure a presentation: slide outlines, talking points, titles, and speaker notes. Start by telling it your audience, goal, and time limit.

Ask for a logical flow: introduction, key points, examples, and conclusion. You can then refine each section. AI is less reliable at visual design — focus on structure and content first.

Build a deck with AI

  1. 1

    Define audience and goal

    Tell AI who will watch and what you want them to do or understand.

  2. 2

    Get an outline

    Ask for slide titles and talking points before full slide text.

  3. 3

    Refine each section

    Iterate on individual slides — shorter, clearer, more visual suggestions.

Prompt example

Outline a 10-minute presentation on our Q3 results for non-finance staff. Include 6 slides with speaker notes.

Key points

  • AI excels at structuring presentations and writing talking points
  • Specify audience, goal, and time limit for better results
  • Use AI for outlines and content; refine visuals yourself
  • Iterate: ask for revisions on individual slides or sections
