Prompt library

AI presentation prompts that create usable deck outlines.

Most prompt lists are too vague. These prompts force the AI to produce conclusion titles, evidence gaps, speaker notes and slide-level visuals.

Prompt pack

Start with the deck type.

Board update

Create an 8-slide board update.
Company: [x]. Period: [q].
Include scorecard, revenue, pipeline, product,
customer signals, risks, asks and next-quarter plan.
Each slide needs a conclusion title and speaker notes.

Consulting recommendation

Turn this analysis into a client recommendation deck.
Structure: situation, complication, evidence,
options, recommendation, implementation, risks.
Mark any unsupported claim.

Training deck

Create a training deck for [process].
Audience: [new hires / customers / sales team].
Include examples, mistakes, exercises, checklist
and speaker notes for a 30-minute session.

Investor pitch

Create a pitch deck outline.
Do not invent traction or market size.
For every slide, list evidence required
and one skeptical investor question.

Prompt rules

What to include in every prompt.

Audience

Who decides?

A CEO, student, buyer, investor and board member need different slide titles and proof.

Decision

What should happen?

Approve, buy, fund, change process, learn or compare. A deck with no decision becomes a brochure.

Evidence

What must be proven?

Ask AI to mark every claim that needs a source, metric or customer quote.

Format

What output?

Specify slide count, speaker notes, PPTX export, table, chart, appendix and visual style.

Prompt stages

Do not ask for slides too early.

The best workflow is not one giant prompt. Split the work so the AI cannot hide weak logic inside a pretty layout.

Stage 1: diagnose the story

Ask what the audience already believes, what needs to change, and what proof is missing.

Stage 2: create conclusion titles

Each title should be a sentence that could stand alone in an executive summary.

Stage 3: draft slides

Only after the outline is approved should the AI generate slide bullets, visuals and notes.

Stage 4: red-team the deck

Ask another model or another prompt to attack the claims, missing evidence and boring slides.

Stage 5: export and clean up

Use the PPTX export test before sending the file to anyone.

Bad vs good

Small prompt changes that improve output.

Weak prompt	Better prompt	Why
Make a sales deck.	Make a 9-slide deck for a CFO buyer deciding whether to reduce support cost by 20%.	Audience and decision sharpen the story.
Make it professional.	Use conclusion titles, max 3 bullets per slide and speaker notes for detail.	Gives design and writing constraints.
Add data.	Mark where data is required; do not invent numbers.	Prevents fake precision.
Create a pitch deck.	Create a pitch outline and list evidence needed for each slide before drafting.	Separates thinking from formatting.

Practical deck tests

Do this before trusting any AI slide output.

Generate a short deck with one chart, one table, one timeline, one visual placeholder and speaker notes. Export to PPTX, open it in PowerPoint, edit every object, apply your company template and measure cleanup time. This test catches weak tools faster than reading another ranking.
