Act as a presentation coach. Build a slide-by-slide outline.

Length: [MINUTES]
Goal: [WHAT SHOULD THEY DECIDE OR DO AFTERWARDS]

For each slide give a headline that states the point (not a topic label), 3 bullets of supporting content and a suggested visual. Start with a hook and end with one clear ask. Keep to a maximum of [NUMBER] slides.

Slide headlines that make a full sentence tell the story on their own.

What you will get

A slide-by-slide outline in which each slide has a headline that states its point, three supporting bullets and a suggested visual, opening with a hook and finishing with one clear ask.

Common mistake

The slides are packed with text.

Fix: Set a slide limit, and say who is in the room and what they should decide. One point per slide.

Other ways it goes wrong

The number of slides ignores your time slot. Fill in the length in minutes and set the slide limit. As a rough guide, plan about one slide for every two minutes of a talk, and fewer for a pitch.
Headlines are topic labels like “Market overview”. Reply “rewrite each headline as a full sentence that makes the point, for example ‘Customers leave when checkout takes too long’”.
The suggested visuals are stock cliches such as handshakes. Ask “for each visual, name the exact chart type or photo and what it shows”. A chart you can actually draw beats a vague picture.

Try a variation: speaker notes

Once the outline is right, send “now write three spoken sentences of notes for each slide, in plain language”. You get a first script to edit.

Still not right? Reply with this

Cut each slide to one headline and at most 3 bullets of under 8 words each.
