When to Use This Prompt

• You’re creating a pitch deck and need logical structure
• You have content but don’t know how to organize it into slides
• You want to ensure your presentation tells a compelling story
• You need talking points to rehearse before presenting

What You’ll Get

The AI will generate a complete presentation structure with a compelling title slide that hooks interest, a problem-focused opening that establishes relevance, detailed slide-by-slide breakdown with titles, bullet points, and talking points, strategic placement of data and evidence throughout, visual suggestions for each slide to enhance communication, time allocations to hit your duration target, and a strong closing with clear next steps. The outline follows storytelling principles with logical flow from problem to solution to action.

Why This Prompt Works

• Story arc structure: Problem-solution-action flow keeps audience engaged and builds toward decision

• One idea per slide: Prevents information overload and improves retention

• Active slide titles: Statement-based headlines communicate key point even if audience skims

• Visual prioritization: Reducing text increases impact and professional appearance
