ChatGPT Prompts for PowerPoint Decks That Don't Bore

Build a 12-slide PowerPoint outline. Topic: [describe]. Audience: [describe]. Duration: [X min]. Per slide: title-as-takeaway (not topic), 3 bullets max, suggested visual. Standard PPT structure: title slide, agenda, 8-10 content slides, summary, Q&A.

Build single executive summary slide for [topic]. Layout: 1 takeaway sentence (top), 3 supporting bullets, 1 chart placeholder, decision asked. Standalone slide that works without rest of deck. Most execs read this slide only.

Build section divider slides for [deck topic]. Output: 4-6 section names, transition lines for each, visual concept (icon, image, color block). Section dividers reset attention; without them, audience drifts by slide 8.

QBR deck outline. Period: [quarter]. Audience: leadership. Output: 12 slides — performance vs plan, top wins, key challenges + response, customer/market signal, next quarter priorities, asks. Honest about misses; not just trophy case.

I have one bullet: [paste]. Expand into full slide content: title-as-takeaway, 3 supporting bullets, suggested chart or visual. Concise, scannable, no walls of text. PPT slides aren't documents.

[Paste current slide title]. Rewrite as 5 takeaway-style alternatives. Each: under 12 words, declarative, scannable, the actual point of the slide. "Q3 Results" = topic. "Q3 hit 110% of plan" = takeaway.

[Paste cluttered slide]. Cut bullets in half. Keep only what supports the title-takeaway. Move detail to speaker notes or appendix. Default = too many bullets; discipline = restraint.

Closing slide for deck on [topic]. Don't use "Thank You" / "Q&A" as last slide — wastes real estate. Output: callback to opening message, 1 specific ask, contact for follow-up. Last slide = most-stared-at slide during Q&A.

[Paste deck outline]. Write speaker notes per slide: 60-90 second talk track, transition to next slide, anticipated question + answer ready. Notes for me, not on slide. Slides support; I deliver.

[Paste deck]. Generate 15 hardest questions audience will ask. Per question: why ask, ideal 60-sec answer, evidence to back, what NOT to say. Hostile + skeptical questions specifically.

[Paste base deck]. Adapt for: (A) C-suite (15 min), (B) team (30 min), (C) external client (45 min). Per audience: which slides cut, which expand, jargon level, level of supporting detail. Same deck core; different framing.

[Paste rehearsal transcript]. Critique: filler words, sentence drag, energy dips, where I lost flow, where to pause + don't, where to rush + shouldn't. Specific timestamps if I tag them.

[Paste slide content]. Recommend visual: chart type if data, image concept if narrative, diagram if process, icon if list. Match visual to message. Stock photos of "businesspeople pointing" = banned.

[Paste slide text]. Cleanup: cut redundant bullets, simplify language, replace jargon, ensure parallel structure (all bullets same form), tighten title. Typical 30% reduction without losing message.

Audit slide design choices for [deck]. Check: 2 fonts max (header, body), 1 accent color + 2 neutrals, consistent sizing, readable from back of room (28pt body min). Flag inconsistencies.
