Using AI to Make Presentations in Half the Time
You have to build a presentation and the idea already tires you? I get it. The boring part is putting texts and slides together. AI does exactly that part for you. You give the topic, it builds the slides. In this guide you see how, even starting from zero.
What AI really does with slides
AI does more than write. It organizes the ideas, splits them into sections, suggests titles and fills the slides with short text. You fix and adjust. It is like having a colleague who hands you a ready draft.
- Finds the right outline.
- Writes the key points.
- Suggests images and charts.
Tools to try
There are several, some free. Choose based on how much you want to automate.
- Gamma: type the topic and it builds whole slides.
- ChatGPT: great for the outline and text to paste.
- Canva with AI: nice for graphics and templates.
Tip: use ChatGPT for content, Gamma or Canva for the look.
How to ask the AI for a presentation
Give three pieces of info and you'll get a sensible result: topic, audience, number of slides.
- Topic: what it is about.
- Audience: clients, boss, students.
- Tone: serious, simple, lively.
- Slides: how many you want, say ten.
Example: "Make me an outline for 10 slides on how to save money at home, audience families, simple and practical tone". Start from there.
Making slides clear
A slide packed with text gets read by nobody. AI tends to write too much, so you trim.
- One idea per slide, not ten.
- Short lines, even just three words.
- Titles that state the point right away.
- An image beats a paragraph.
Ask the AI: "make this slide shorter and more direct". It works.
Mistakes not to make
Even with AI you can slip up. Here are the common traps.
- Copying everything without rereading: it sometimes gets facts wrong.
- Too many slides: few and strong is better.
- Forgetting the final slide with a call to action.
Always check numbers and names. AI speeds you up, but you are the boss.
