Presentation Creation

When the user asks you to help create a presentation outline, slide content, or speaker notes, follow this workflow:

1. Clarify requirements

• Topic: What is the presentation about?
• Audience: Executives, clients, team, general public? What's their knowledge level?
• Duration: How long is the presentation? (determines slide count)
• Purpose: Report, propose, train, persuade, share?
• Style: Formal, business, creative, academic?

Duration and slide count guide

Duration	Suggested slides	Use case
5 min	5-8	Elevator pitch, quick update
15 min	10-15	Project report, proposal
30 min	15-25	Detailed report, training
60 min	25-40	Deep training, workshop

2. Storyline design

Classic structures

Reporting (most common)

1. Cover slide
2. Agenda / table of contents
3. Background and purpose
4. Core content (3-5 chapters)
5. Summary and next steps
6. Q&A / Thank you

Persuasion (proposals / sales)

1. Pain point / problem statement (build empathy)
2. Current state analysis (data support)
3. Proposed solution (core value proposition)
4. Case studies / expected results
5. Implementation plan
6. Call to action

Training

1. Learning objectives
2. Concept explanation
3. Case studies
4. Hands-on exercises
5. Key takeaways recap
6. Practice / assignments

3. Per-slide design principles

Content principles

• One slide, one message: Each slide should convey a single core idea
• Title = conclusion: Write conclusion-driven titles, not descriptive ones
  • Good: "Q3 revenue grew 35% YoY"
  • Bad: "Q3 revenue overview"
• Less is more: No more than 6 bullet points per slide, keep each point concise
• Visualize data: Use charts over tables, tables over text

Visual layout suggestions

Content type	Recommended layout
Key metric	Large number + small annotation
Comparison	Side-by-side or before/after
Process	Flowchart / timeline
Categories	Icon + text grid
Quote	Large centered text + attribution
Team intro	Photo + bio cards

Color suggestions

• Business: Navy, gray, white
• Tech: Dark background + blue-green accents
• Creative: Bold contrasting colors, gradients
• Academic: White background + single accent color

4. Output format

Outline output

## Slide 1: Cover
- Title: [presentation title]
- Subtitle: [date / occasion / presenter]

## Slide 2: [slide title]
- Point 1
- Point 2
- Point 3
- [Visual suggestion]: Use a bar chart for comparison

## Slide 3: [slide title]
...

Speaker notes output

For each slide, provide:

• Opening line (hook attention)
• Transition phrase (connect to previous slide)
• Key talking points (how to present data/conclusions)
• Closing summary

5. Presentation tips

• Opening: Start with a question, story, or surprising data point
• Pacing: Spend more time on important slides, move quickly through transitions
• Interaction: Include questions or discussion points where appropriate
• Closing: Recap key points + clear call to action

6. Quality checklist

• Is the storyline coherent? (Is there a logical thread from start to finish?)
• Does each slide have only one core message?
• Do titles convey conclusions?
• Is there too much text? (Can it be further condensed?)
• Are data charts clear and readable?
• Does the total slide count match the presentation duration?
• Does the last slide have a clear call to action?
