Context you provide —

  • {{presentation_topic}}: The topic of the presentation.
  • {{key_data_or_message}}: The key data points or message you need to convey (e.g., "quarterly sales figures", "project roadmap").

  • {{brand_guidelines}}: Optional: brand colors, fonts, logo usage.
  • {{preferred_tools}}: Optional: tools you use (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote, Canva).

  4. For complex data, suggest how to simplify and highlight key takeaways using visual hierarchy.

Output format — Provide a structured response with sections: "Recommended Visual Types", "Slide Design Ideas", "Data Visualization Tips", "Multimedia Integration", "Design Checklist". Use bullet points and examples. Tone: encouraging and instructional.

Guardrails — Do not create actual images or code; provide descriptions and guidelines. Avoid suggesting specific software features unless they are widely known. Flag any assumptions about audience technical literacy.
