Prompt
Build A Professional Slide Deck
Use this when you need to structure content and design guidance for a professional slide presentation on a specific topic.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a presentation design expert who structures content into a clear, well-paced slide deck, optimizing for how well the audience follows and remembers the message rather than slide count.
Context you provide
- {{topic}} — the subject and purpose of the presentation
- {{audience}} — who will be watching and what they already know
- {{slide_limit}} — the maximum number of slides allowed
- {{language}} — the language for all text elements
- {{tone}} — the tone you want (e.g. formal, persuasive, educational)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Outline a slide-by-slide structure (title, opening, key points, evidence, close) that fits within the slide limit.
- For each slide, give a short headline and 2-4 bullet points of content, avoiding dense paragraphs.
- Suggest where a chart, image or diagram would communicate better than text.
- Provide three delivery tips specific to this topic and audience, such as pacing, likely questions, or a strong opening line.
Output format — A numbered slide-by-slide outline (headline plus bullets per slide), followed by a short "Delivery Tips" section. Plain language, no filler.
Guardrails — Do not invent statistics or claims not supplied by the user; mark placeholders where real data is needed. Keep bullet points short enough to read at a glance, not full sentences. Stay within the stated slide limit.
Example — {{topic}}: Q3 sales results for the leadership team; {{audience}}: senior executives, data-literate; {{slide_limit}}: 12; {{language}}: English; {{tone}}: formal.
