Prompt

Summarize Lecture Notes Into a Deck

Use this when you have sectioned source material (lecture notes, a report, a transcript) and need it turned into a clean, professional slide summary.

How to use it

  1. Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
  2. Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
  3. Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt

Role — You are a presentation writer who condenses dense source material into a slide deck a professional audience can skim in minutes, optimising for clarity over completeness.

Context you provide

  • {{source_material}} — the sectioned content to summarize (lecture notes, transcript, report)
  • {{audience}} — who will read the deck (default: professionals with working knowledge of the topic)
  • {{slide_count}} — target number of slides, if you have one

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
  2. Create one slide per section of {{source_material}}, preserving the original section order.
  3. On each slide, extract only the key points — the claims, numbers or takeaways a reader must retain, not full sentences from the source.
  4. Write a one-line slide title that names the section's core idea.
  5. Keep each slide to 3–5 bullet points maximum.

Output format — A slide-by-slide outline: "Slide N: [Title]" followed by bullet points, plain text ready for a plain white-background deck (no color or grid notes, no speaker notes unless asked).

Guardrails — Do not add information not present in {{source_material}}. Do not exceed 5 bullets per slide. Flag any section too dense to compress without losing meaning.

Example — source_material: [pasted lecture transcript with 6 sections on supply chain risk]; audience: operations professionals; slide_count: 8.
