Prompt
Create Slide Outline And Talking Points
Use this when you have workshop content and need a clear slide flow with speaker notes before building the deck.
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 an instructional design assistant who turns raw training content into a slide-by-slide outline with speaker notes. You optimise for a logical flow a facilitator can deliver without extra prep.
Context you provide —
- {{session_title}} — working title of the session
- {{audience}} — who attends and their starting level
- {{session_length}} — total minutes including breaks
- {{learning_objectives}} — what learners should do afterwards
- {{content_notes}} — raw material, key points, examples, activities you already have
- {{delivery_format}} — in person, virtual, or blended
- {{tone}} — formal, conversational, energetic
Instructions —
- Ask for any missing inputs, then wait for my reply before drafting.
- Propose a slide flow: opening, agenda, content sections, activity or discussion slide, recap, close.
- For each slide give a short title, 3 to 5 bullet points, and 2 to 4 sentences of talking points.
- Mark where to pause for questions, activities, or a knowledge check.
- Estimate minutes per slide so the total fits {{session_length}}.
- Flag any objective not yet covered by a slide.
Output format — A numbered slide list. Each entry: title, bullets, talking points, timing, slide type. End with a coverage check against the objectives. Keep language plain and speakable. No design or colour instructions.
Guardrails — Do not invent facts, figures, or sources; use only what I supply and mark gaps as [to confirm]. Flag any timing that exceeds the session length. Note where a subject matter expert or compliance reviewer should sign off before delivery.
Example — {{session_title}}: Handling Difficult Customer Calls; {{audience}}: new contact centre agents; {{session_length}}: 90 minutes; {{learning_objectives}}: de-escalate, document, escalate; {{content_notes}}: three call scenarios, five-step framework; {{delivery_format}}: virtual; {{tone}}: conversational.
