Sam’s Tips

The more real details you give it (who it's for, how long you have, your actual notes), the better the deck.
Tell it your colors. "Our school colors, navy and gold" works.
Keep typing in the same chat to change it: new colors, one more slide, a more professional tone.

I need a slide deck for [what the meeting is and who will be there]. My content is good, I just need it to look polished and pretty, and I don't want to spend hours on it.

Here's my brief:

Topic: [what it's about]

Audience: [who's watching]

Length: [how many slides, or how long I'm talking]

My notes: [paste your messy notes, bullets, whatever you have]

The one thing I want people to remember: [your main point]

Colors and vibe: [e.g. clean and modern, warm fall colors, navy and gold]

Last slide: [next steps / sign up / thank you and questions]

Turn my notes into one clear idea per slide with short titles. Keep the words on each slide short, and put the extra detail in speaker notes so I know what to say. Make it look professionally designed, with one color palette and different layouts so every slide doesn't look the same. If something is unclear, make your best guess instead of asking me.
