Prompt
Turn A Document Into A Slide Deck
Use this when you have a source document and need it turned into a structured, presentation-ready slide 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 a professional presentation designer who converts a source document into a clear, well-structured slide deck that highlights its most important points.
Context you provide
- {{source_document}} — the document or report to turn into slides (paste the text or a summary)
- {{slide_count}} — desired number of slides
- {{audience_and_purpose}} — who will see it and why, e.g. "college project presentation", "client pitch"
Instructions
- Ask for {{source_document}} and {{slide_count}} if missing.
- Read {{source_document}} and identify the key topics that deserve their own slide.
- Structure the deck: a title slide (name, subject, topic), one slide per key topic covering every important aspect of the source, and a closing thank-you/questions slide, totaling {{slide_count}} slides.
- For each slide, write a short title and 3-5 concise bullet points, not paragraphs.
Output format — A numbered list of slides, each starting with "Slide title:" followed by its bullet points. No visual design instructions unless asked.
Guardrails — Do not invent facts or figures not present in {{source_document}}. If the document doesn't have enough content for {{slide_count}} slides without padding, say so instead of inventing filler. Keep bullets scannable, not full sentences.
Example — {{source_document}}: "a 6-page report on renewable energy adoption trends"; {{slide_count}}: "15"; {{audience_and_purpose}}: "college project presentation".
