In short: This page contains 16 copy-paste ready prompts, organized into 4 categories with a description and pro tip for each. The first 5 prompts are free instantly, no signup needed. Hand-curated and tested by the AI Academy team.
Deck Outlines + Content
4 promptsSlides Outline from Topic
1/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT builds a 12-slide Google Slides outline for topic [describe] and audience [describe], with a takeaway title, three bullets, and a visual per slide, ready for outline view. Paste it into Slides and rewrite any title that still sounds like a topic label to you.
Build 12-slide Google Slides outline. Topic: [describe]. Audience: [describe]. Per slide: title-as-takeaway, 3 bullets, suggested visual. Use Slides standard structure. Output ready to paste into Slides outline view.
Pro tip: Google Slides outline view = paste outline + auto-creates slides. Most users build slide-by-slide. Outline view = 5x faster initial creation.
Slide Content from Bullet
2/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT expands [paste] into one Google Slides slide with a takeaway title, three bullets, and a visual, avoiding a wall of text. Drop that into the deck and delete any bullet that repeats your title.
I have one bullet: [paste]. Expand into full slide for Google Slides: title-as-takeaway, 3 bullets max, visual suggestion. Avoid wall-of-text; Google Slides defaults are spacious — exploit.
Pro tip: Google Slides default fonts large + spacing generous. Less content per slide than dense PowerPoint. Match content to Slides aesthetic.
Cover Slide + Section Dividers
3/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT designs a cover slide and 4 to 6 section dividers for [deck topic], with title hierarchy, a theme or icon per section, and transition language. Add the dividers in Slides and check they reset attention between your sections.
Cover slide + section dividers for [deck topic]. Output: title slide design (image, hierarchy), 4-6 section dividers (theme/icon/color), transition language between sections. Section dividers reset attention.
Pro tip: Long Slides decks without dividers = audience drift. Visible section breaks = re-engagement. Native Slides themes have dividers; use them.
Closing Slide
4/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes a closing slide that calls back to the opening, states a specific ask, adds contact info, and invites questions instead of a generic thank you. Put that on the last slide and leave it up during your Q and A.
Closing slide for Google Slides deck. Don't use generic "Thank You" — wastes attention during Q&A. Output: callback to opening, specific ask, contact info, Q&A invitation. Last slide = most-stared-at.
Pro tip: Last Slide on screen during Q&A = wasted message. Memorable last line = audience remembers. Use real estate.

Speaker Notes + Delivery
4 promptsSpeaker Notes per Slide
5/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes speaker notes for [Paste deck outline], with a 60 to 90 second track, transitions, and likely questions, for presenter view rather than the slide. Rehearse in presenter view and cut any line you would not say.
[Paste deck outline]. Generate speaker notes for each Google Slides slide. 60-90 sec talk track, transition lines, anticipated questions + answers. Notes for me, not on slide. Slides has presenter view.
Pro tip: Google Slides presenter view shows notes + next slide preview + timer. Use it. Most users present from main view + read slides. Presenter view = professional delivery.
Q&A Prep from Deck
6/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes 15 hard questions from [Paste Slides deck], each with a 60-second answer, evidence, and what not to say, including hostile ones. Rehearse the five most likely and keep the evidence in your notes.
[Paste Slides deck]. Generate 15 hardest questions audience will ask. Per question: ideal 60-sec answer, evidence to back, what NOT to say. Hostile + skeptical questions specifically.
Pro tip: 15 hardest questions covers ~80% of any actual Q&A. Knowing answers = composure. Improvising = avoidable risk. Prep before pitch.
Slides Variants per Audience
7/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT adapts [Paste base Slides deck] for a 15-minute C-suite, a 30-minute team, and a 45-minute client version, with cuts, jargon, and framing. Duplicate the deck and delete slides the next audience should not see from you.
[Paste base Slides deck]. Adapt for: (A) C-suite (15 min), (B) team (30 min), (C) external client (45 min). Per audience: which slides cut/expand, jargon level, framing. Same core; different framing.
Pro tip: Same deck for everyone = generic. Variants per audience = each lands. Slides easy to copy + adapt; the discipline is doing it.
Recorded Run Critique
8/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT critiques [Paste rehearsal transcript] for filler, long sentences, energy dips, lost flow, and where to pause, with timestamps if you added them. Mark those spots and run the weak slides again out loud yourself.
[Paste rehearsal transcript]. Critique: filler words, sentence drag, energy dips, where I lost flow, where to pause + don't. Specific timestamps. Mirror exposes blind spots.
Pro tip: Recording reveals what you can't hear live. Transcript-based critique = harsher + more accurate. Self-listening = bias-prone. Use both.
Design + Templates
4 promptsSlides Theme Selection
9/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT recommends three Google Slides themes for [topic], built-in versus custom, matched to the audience, with why and what to customize. Pick one theme and change the accent color before you add content.
Theme for Google Slides deck on [topic]. Options: built-in themes vs custom. Output: 3 theme recommendations matched to topic + audience, why each, customization needed. Generic themes = generic feel.
Pro tip: Default Google Slides themes recognizable + dated. Custom themes (or polished built-ins) = professional. Branding investment pays back across decks.
Visual Recommendation per Slide
10/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT recommends a visual for [Paste slide content]: chart, image concept, diagram, or icon, matched to the message instead of stock filler. Add that visual and cut decorative images that do not carry meaning for you.
[Paste slide content]. Recommend visual: chart type if data, image concept if narrative, diagram if process, icon if list. Match visual to message. Generic stock photos = forgettable.
Pro tip: Stock photos of "businesspeople pointing" = banned. Specific visual matched to message = memorable. Generic clipart actively hurts.
Brand Consistency Audit
11/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT audits [Describe deck] for brand consistency: one or two fonts, one accent plus neutrals, logo placement, image style, and terms. Fix the off-brand slides and lock the theme so new slides stay consistent for you.
[Describe deck]. Audit brand consistency: fonts (1-2 max), colors (1 accent + neutrals), logo placement, image style, terminology. Inconsistent = amateur. Consistent = professional.
Pro tip: 5 fonts + 8 colors + 3 logo variants = chaos. 2 fonts + 3 colors + 1 logo = professional. Constraint produces design quality.
Animation + Transitions Sanity Check
12/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT audits [Describe Slides animations] and keeps sequential reveals that help, cutting spin, bounce, and leftover defaults. Remove most animations and keep only the reveals you will click on purpose.
[Describe Slides animations]. Audit: animations aiding comprehension (sequential reveal = good), distracting (spin/bounce = bad), unnecessary defaults. Cut 80% by default.
Pro tip: Default Slides = animation-free (good!). User-added animations often distract. Strategic animation (one bullet at a time during build) = OK; spin transitions = amateur signal.

Collaboration + Power Use
4 promptsCo-Editing Etiquette
13/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes Google Slides co-editing etiquette: one owner, comments versus direct edits, section ownership, review cadence, and version names. Post the rules in the file comments and name the owner on your first slide.
Co-editing Slides etiquette. Output: who owns deck (one person), how to suggest changes (comments vs direct), section ownership, review cadence, version names. Co-editing without etiquette = chaos.
Pro tip: Slides easy to clobber others' edits. Section ownership during edit + announcing = preserves work. Random co-editing = lost changes.
Slides → Video Export
14/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT plans exporting Google Slides as video for [purpose], with a voiceover script, timing, quality, captions, and how to distribute. Record the voiceover from the script and add captions before you send the link.
Export Google Slides as video for [purpose — async share, training]. Output: voiceover script per slide, timing, image quality, accessibility (captions), distribution. Async deck > sync meeting often.
Pro tip: Video deck for async = scales. 30 viewers can watch when convenient vs 30-person meeting. Often better outcome. Underused option.
Slides + Sheets Live Data
15/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT explains how to insert a live Sheets chart into Slides, how refresh works, what to do when data changes, and design notes so the deck stays current. Insert the chart, change a number in Sheets, and refresh once to confirm your update.
Linked chart from Sheets in Slides. Output: how to insert (Insert → Chart → From Sheets), refresh behavior (manual or auto), what to do when data updates, design considerations. Live data = always-current decks.
Pro tip: Sheets data → Slides chart with link = live. Update Sheet → chart updates. Removes "rebuild deck for new numbers." Underused workflow.
Slides Q&A Mode
16/16✨ What it does
ChatGPT explains Slides Q and A mode: how to enable it, anonymous audience questions, how you moderate, and follow-up after. Turn it on in a rehearsal so you know where questions appear before the live talk.
Use Slides Q&A mode during presentation. Output: how to enable, audience experience (anonymous Qs), moderator workflow, follow-up after. Free feature; underused.
Pro tip: Slides has built-in Q&A mode. Anonymous audience questions appear in real time on presenter view. Better than chat — questions surface naturally. Most don't know.
