AI Prompts for Presentations

Create a slide-by-slide outline for a {{presentation_duration}}-minute presentation on {{topic}}.

Audience: {{audience}} (e.g., board of directors, engineering team, conference attendees, potential investors)
Presentation goal: {{goal}} (e.g., get budget approval, educate the team, sell a product, share quarterly results)
The ONE thing I want the audience to remember: {{key_takeaway}}

For each slide, provide:
1. **Slide title** (clear and specific — not "Introduction" or "Conclusion")
2. **Key message** (the single point this slide makes, in one sentence)
3. **Content** (3-5 bullet points or a description of the visual/data)
4. **Visual suggestion** (chart type, image concept, or diagram that supports the point)
5. **Transition** (one sentence connecting this slide to the next)

Structure guidelines:
- Slide 1: Hook — open with a surprising fact, question, or story. Do NOT start with an agenda slide.
- Middle slides: One idea per slide. If a slide has more than one point, split it.
- Second-to-last slide: Summary of key points
- Final slide: Clear call to action — what should the audience do after this presentation?

Total slides: {{slide_count}}
Tone: {{tone}} (e.g., data-driven and formal, conversational and energetic, inspirational)

Write speaker notes for each slide in my presentation. Here is the slide outline:

{{slide_outline}}

Presentation context:
- Duration: {{duration}} minutes total
- Audience: {{audience}}
- Setting: {{setting}} (e.g., boardroom with 10 people, virtual call with 50 people, conference stage with 200 people)
- My speaking style: {{speaking_style}} (e.g., conversational and anecdotal, data-focused and precise, high-energy and motivational)

For each slide, provide:
- **Opening line**: The exact first sentence I should say when this slide appears (this is the most important part — it sets the tone for the slide)
- **Talking points**: 3-5 bullet points with the key ideas to cover. These should be prompts for me to speak naturally, NOT a script to read verbatim.
- **Timing**: Approximate time to spend on this slide
- **Audience interaction** (optional): A question to ask, a quick poll, or a moment to pause for reactions — one per every 3-4 slides
- **Transition line**: The exact sentence to use when moving to the next slide

Do NOT write a full script. Write notes that help a prepared speaker sound natural and stay on track. If a slide has data, include the key number and what it means in plain language so I do not have to interpret the chart live.

Total time budget: {{duration}} minutes. Flag if the notes exceed this.

Create an executive presentation deck outline for {{topic}}.

Context:
- Audience: {{executive_audience}} (e.g., C-suite, board of directors, senior leadership team)
- Decision needed: {{decision}} (e.g., approve budget, greenlight project, change strategy)
- Time slot: {{time_slot}} minutes (assume half will be Q&A)
- Political landscape: {{politics}} (e.g., CFO is skeptical of cost, CEO already supportive, mixed opinions)

Executive deck structure:

**Slide 1: The Ask** — Lead with the decision you need. Executives want the conclusion first.
**Slide 2: Why Now** — What has changed that makes this decision urgent?
**Slide 3: Current State** — Where we are today (data, metrics, situation)
**Slide 4: Proposed Path** — Your recommendation with clear specifics
**Slide 5: Impact & ROI** — Quantified benefits. Use metrics the audience cares about (revenue, cost savings, risk reduction, market share)
**Slide 6: Risk & Mitigation** — Proactively address the top 3 objections. Given the political landscape above, address {{politics}} directly.
**Slide 7: Timeline & Resources** — What it takes to execute, with milestones
**Slide 8: The Ask (repeated)** — Restate the specific decision needed and the recommended next step

For each slide, provide:
- Title, key message, content bullets, and a suggested visual
- An "Anticipated Question" the audience might ask about this slide, with a prepared answer

Supporting data I can provide:
{{available_data}}

Create a pitch presentation outline for {{what_you_are_pitching}} (e.g., startup, product, partnership, internal project).

Pitching to: {{audience}} (e.g., VCs, potential client, internal stakeholders)
What I want them to do after: {{desired_outcome}} (e.g., invest, sign a contract, allocate resources)
Time limit: {{time_limit}} minutes

Use this pitch structure:

**Slide 1: The Hook** — A compelling problem statement or surprising statistic that makes the audience care. Frame the pain point from THEIR perspective.

**Slide 2: The Problem** — Define the problem with specifics. Who has this problem, how big is it, and why existing solutions fail? Use data.
Problem details: {{problem_description}}

**Slide 3: The Solution** — What you are proposing, in one clear sentence. Show, do not tell — use a demo screenshot, diagram, or before/after comparison.
Solution details: {{solution_description}}

**Slide 4: How It Works** — 3 simple steps or a clear diagram. Eliminate complexity — this is not a technical deep-dive.

**Slide 5: Traction / Proof** — Evidence this works. Metrics, testimonials, case studies, pilot results, or comparable precedents.
Available proof points: {{traction}}

**Slide 6: Market Opportunity** — Total addressable market, growth trajectory, and why the timing is right.
Market data: {{market_data}}

**Slide 7: Business Model** — How you make money or how this generates ROI. Keep it simple and credible.

**Slide 8: The Team** (if relevant) — Why this team is uniquely positioned to execute.
Team highlights: {{team}}

**Slide 9: The Ask** — Exactly what you need, exactly what they get, and the specific next step.

For each slide, provide the title, content, visual suggestion, and one "power stat" — a single number or fact that makes the slide memorable.

Create a training presentation on {{training_topic}} for {{learner_audience}}.

Training context:
- Skill level of learners: {{skill_level}} (e.g., complete beginners, intermediate with some experience, advanced practitioners)
- Session duration: {{duration}} minutes
- Format: {{format}} (e.g., live workshop, self-paced slides, recorded video with slides)
- By the end, learners should be able to: {{learning_objectives}}

Structure the training deck as:

**Module 1: Why This Matters** ({{intro_time}} min)
- Hook: A relatable scenario or common mistake that shows why this skill is important
- What learners will be able to do after this training (concrete outcomes, not abstract goals)

**Module 2: Core Concepts** ({{concepts_time}} min)
- Break the topic into 3-5 key concepts
- For each concept: simple definition, a visual analogy or diagram, and a real-world example
- Use progressive complexity — start with the simplest concept and build

**Module 3: Guided Practice** ({{practice_time}} min)
- A step-by-step exercise the audience does alongside the presentation
- Include the exercise prompt, expected outcome, and common mistakes to avoid
- Provide a "checkpoint" where learners can verify they are on track

**Module 4: Apply It** ({{apply_time}} min)
- A realistic scenario or challenge that requires applying multiple concepts together
- Include a sample solution they can reference afterward

**Module 5: Summary & Resources** ({{wrap_time}} min)
- Key takeaways (3-5 bullet points)
- Cheat sheet or quick reference they can keep
- Links to further learning

For each slide, include presenter notes with: what to say, what to show, and where to pause for questions or exercises.

Create a presentation that tells a compelling story with the following data.

Data summary: {{data_description}}
Key finding: {{key_finding}}
Audience: {{audience}}
What I want the audience to do with this information: {{desired_action}}

Structure the data story:

**Slide 1: The Question**
Frame the data as answering a question the audience cares about. Start with: "We set out to understand {{research_question}}..."

**Slide 2: Context / Baseline**
What was the situation before? What did we expect to find? This sets the anchor for the audience to appreciate the findings.
Baseline data: {{baseline}}

**Slide 3-5: The Journey**
Walk through the data chronologically or by increasing significance:
- Each slide focuses on ONE chart or visualization
- For each chart, specify:
  - Chart type (bar, line, scatter, etc.) and why it is the right choice for this data
  - The exact title the chart should have (descriptive, not generic — "Revenue grew 47% in Q3" not "Q3 Revenue")
  - Which data points to highlight or annotate
  - The one-sentence insight this chart reveals

**Slide 6: The So-What**
Synthesize all the data into a clear narrative: what it means, why it matters, and what it predicts.

**Slide 7: Recommended Action**
Based on the data, what should the audience do? Be specific and tie it directly to the numbers.

Data visualization principles to follow:
- Remove chartjunk (unnecessary gridlines, decorations, 3D effects)
- Use color intentionally — highlight only what matters
- Every chart needs a descriptive title that states the insight, not just the topic
- Label data directly on the chart, not in a legend when possible
