STOP SAYING “MAKE A PRESENTATION FOR ME.”
AI isn’t confused.
Your prompt is.
Use these smart prompts instead:
1. THE ANTI-CORPORATE DECK
Build a presentation on [TOPIC] for people who hate presentations.
Rules:
- 1 idea per slide, max 15 words
- Every claim needs a number (not "many" but "47")
- No jargon unless you define it immediately
- Suggest specific visuals ("line graph: 23%→67% in 90 days" not "growth image")
Structure: Hook slide → 6-8 insights with proof → "What this means" → Next step
Tone: Explaining to a smart friend, not reading a script.
2. THE RESEARCH BEAST
Create a presentation on [TOPIC] that looks like 40 hours of research.
Include:
- Real case studies (company names, exact outcomes)
- Stats with sources (institution, year)
- 3-5 "most people don't know" insights
- Competitor comparisons with numbers
Each slide: Surprising claim → Data proof → Why it matters
Make it Stanford-level credible, not Wikipedia summary.
3. THE ELI5 DECK
Explain [COMPLEX TOPIC] like I'm teaching a smart 12-year-old.
Requirements:
- Zero jargon without immediate definition
- Everyday analogies (not tech comparisons)
- "Here's what that means" after each technical point
- Real brand examples, not hypotheticals
Each slide: What it is → Why it exists → How it works → Example → Why you care
If a slide has more than 15 words, simplify it.
4. THE INVESTOR PITCH
Build a 10-slide pitch deck for [BUSINESS IDEA] that gets funded.
Slides:
1. Hook with shocking number
2. Problem (quantified pain point)
3. Solution (the "impossible" claim)
4. How it works (3-step mechanism)
5. Market size (TAM/SAM/SOM with growth rate)
6. Traction (exact metrics, customer names)
7. Business model (pricing, unit economics)
8. Competitive edge (structural advantage)
9. The ask (exact amount, what it funds)
10. Vision (where this goes in 5 years)
Voice: Confident with receipts. Data-heavy, not salesy.
5. THE STORY DECK
Create a presentation on [TOPIC] that people remember days later.
Structure:
- Slides 1-3: Setup (normal state → contradiction → hidden truth)
- Slides 4-7: Journey (failed solution → breakthrough → proof)
- Slides 8-10: Transformation (what changes → what's possible → your move)
Emotional arc: Curiosity → "Oh shit" moment → Excitement → Empowerment
No filler. Every slide advances the story.
6. THE BOARDROOM DECK
Create an executive presentation on [TOPIC] with maximum authority.
Requirements:
- Lead with data, not opinions
- SWOT analysis with competitor names
- 3-year trend data (not snapshots)
- Strategic implications after each section
- Risk assessment included
Structure: Executive summary → Market analysis → Deep dive → 3 options with pros/cons → Financial projections → Next steps with owners/deadlines
Tone: Credible, structured, decision-ready. Assume skeptical audience.
