Begin with an audience decision

Define who will act after the presentation, what they know and the decision required. A prompt such as 'make ten slides about AI' delegates the argument to the model. A useful brief specifies audience, claim, evidence, tone and time limit.

Draft a one-sentence takeaway for each slide before visual generation. This exposes repetition and missing logic while changes are cheap.

Build from a source document

Create a structured source memo with headings, approved facts and links. Microsoft recommends using document styles to help Copilot understand structure when generating a presentation from a file. Similar discipline benefits any tool.

Mark estimates, dates and confidential material explicitly. The model should not decide which draft number becomes a headline. Keep a source ledger mapping every chart and claim to evidence.

Generate structure before decoration

Ask for an outline, review it, then create slides. Verify that the sequence moves from problem to evidence to recommendation. Remove slides that merely restate the title or add generic context.

Use the organization's template and brand kit when supported, but inspect every layout. Generated decks often overuse bullets, mix illustration styles and place too much meaning in speaker notes.

Review visuals and accessibility

Check chart scales, labels, image rights, contrast, font size and reading order. Rebuild important charts from verified data instead of accepting a decorative graphic that resembles a chart.

Add alternative text where appropriate and ensure the spoken narrative does not depend on color alone. AI-generated images should be disclosed or documented according to the context and company policy.

Rehearse the decision

Read the deck without the source memo and ask whether every conclusion remains supported. Practice anticipated questions, then revise unclear slides rather than hiding explanations in narration.
