Use AI to build the story before it builds the slides.
The fastest way to get a bad AI presentation is to ask for “10 slides about X.” Start with audience, decision and evidence first.
A better sequence
01Define the audience
What do they already know, and what decision should the deck support?
02Write the one-sentence takeaway
If the audience remembers one idea tomorrow, what should it be?
03Build the narrative
Context → problem → evidence → options → recommendation → next step.
04Assign one message per slide
Use the headline to state the conclusion, not merely name the topic.
05Add visuals after logic
Charts, diagrams and images should prove or clarify the slide message.
Prompt
Turn the source material below into a presentation for [AUDIENCE].
Goal: help the audience decide [DECISION].
First produce:
1. one-sentence takeaway,
2. 6–10 slide narrative,
3. one conclusion-style headline per slide,
4. evidence needed for each slide,
5. best visual form: chart, diagram, table, image or none.
Do not invent statistics.
Do not add slides that do not advance the decision.

Tool choiceUse a general assistant to build the argument. Then use a presentation tool such as Gamma to lay it out. Separating thinking from formatting usually produces a stronger deck.
