Start by giving the tool clear instructions about the audience, goal, length, and style, then provide the raw material you want included. Instead of asking for “a presentation,” ask for specific slides with titles, bullet points, and suggested visuals so the results are ready to paste into PowerPoint or Google Slides.
Include who the slides are for (customers, students, coworkers), what you want them to do (buy, understand, decide), and the tone (friendly, professional, playful). Example: “Create a 10-slide deck for parents and kids with a warm, kid-friendly tone.”
State the exact number of slides and what each slide should contain. Ask for: slide title, 3–5 bullets max, and a simple suggestion for an icon, chart, or photo concept. This keeps slides scannable and avoids text-heavy layouts.
Paste key facts, links, product details, or notes, and tell it what to avoid. If accuracy matters, ask it to flag any statements it isn’t confident about so you can verify before presenting.
Ask for a color palette, font pairing, and a consistent layout rule (for example: one idea per slide, short bullets, and a single visual). You can also request speaker notes for each slide to make presenting smoother.
If you’re building an educational or seasonal deck, provide a theme and must-have sections. For instance, a Thanksgiving history deck could include origins, traditions, common myths, and a short activity slide. For kid-friendly historical ideas and a ready-made fact base, see this guide to kid-friendly Thanksgiving history.
For a 5–10 minute talk, aim for 6–10 slides with one key idea per slide. Keep bullets brief so the audience listens to you instead of reading the screen.
