Create a Google Slides presentation for [AUDIENCE] about [PRESENTATION TOPIC]. The presentation must achieve [PRESENTATION GOAL] in [PRESENTATION LENGTH]. Source material and verified facts: [SOURCE MATERIAL]. Required message, decision, or call to action: [REQUIRED OUTCOME]. Brand or design constraints: [DESIGN CONSTRAINTS]. Build a slide-by-slide deck that can be created directly in Google Slides. Start with a one-sentence narrative arc and a recommended slide count appropriate to the time available. Then provide a table with: slide number, slide title, the single takeaway, on-slide copy, visual or chart direction, speaker notes, and source/citation note.
Use this structure where applicable: opening stakes, audience context, evidence or insight, options/tradeoffs, recommendation, execution plan, and decision or next step. Do not force every section if the material does not support it. Keep on-slide copy to a maximum of 35 words per slide except for an appendix, and give no more than three bullets on a slide. Every chart recommendation must name the metric, comparison, time period, and source needed; if data is missing, recommend a placeholder labelled “data needed,” not a fabricated chart. Include a final build checklist covering readable type, contrast, source attribution, and a rehearsal check against the allotted time. Do not invent facts, customer logos, quotes, metrics, or citations. Before answering, check that each slide advances the stated goal and that the recommendation is distinguishable from the evidence supporting it. Ask up to three clarifying questions only if a required input is missing.
Fill in
| Placeholder | What to enter | Example |
|---|---|---|
| [AUDIENCE] | Enter who will see the presentation and what they already know. | The COO and regional operations leaders; they know current warehouse performance but not the pilot results. |
| [PRESENTATION TOPIC] | Enter the subject of the deck. | Recommendation to expand the pick-and-pack scheduling pilot |
| [PRESENTATION GOAL] | Enter the result the presentation should achieve. | Secure approval for a three-site rollout |
| [PRESENTATION LENGTH] | Enter the available presentation time and any Q&A time. | 12 minutes plus 8 minutes for questions |
| [SOURCE MATERIAL] | Paste verified notes, data, links, requirements, and approved claims. | Pilot at Columbus warehouse ran for eight weeks. Average orders picked per labor hour rose from 42 to 47. Late shipments fell from 3.8% to 2.9%. Results exclude the holiday peak. Rollout needs two weeks of supervisor training per site. |
| [REQUIRED OUTCOME] | Enter the decision, action, or message the audience should leave with. | Approve a Q1 rollout to Columbus, Dayton, and Indianapolis and assign an executive sponsor. |
| [DESIGN CONSTRAINTS] | Enter brand rules, templates, accessibility requirements, or existing deck constraints. | Use the existing company template; 16:9 format; charts must include source footnotes; avoid red-green-only status coding. |
How to use
- State the audience’s decision and the available time before pasting source notes.
- Keep raw data with its date range and source so the deck can label every number correctly.
- Build the deck from the slide table, then remove slides that repeat an earlier takeaway.
- Follow up with: “Write speaker notes for slides 3–7 that fit a total delivery time of six minutes and anticipate two likely objections.”
Variations
Executive update
Use for a short leadership status update.
Create a five-slide Google Slides executive update on [INITIATIVE] for [LEADERSHIP AUDIENCE]. Verified status: [STATUS FACTS]. Decisions needed: [DECISIONS]. Risks and dependencies: [RISKS]. Make slide 1 the headline, slides 2–3 the evidence and progress, slide 4 the risks with owner and mitigation, and slide 5 the decisions requested. For every number, retain its source and reporting period. Keep each slide under 30 words of on-slide copy. Do not describe a risk as resolved unless the supplied facts say so.
Sales pitch deck
Use to structure a prospect presentation.
Plan a Google Slides sales deck for [PROSPECT ROLE] about [OFFERING]. Prospect-confirmed needs: [DISCOVERY FACTS]. Approved proof points: [PROOF]. Desired action: [NEXT STEP]. Produce 8–10 slides with a problem framing based only on confirmed needs, relevant capabilities, proof clearly labeled by source, a proposed approach, and a next-step slide. Include an objection-handling appendix. Do not use customer logos, savings claims, or industry statistics unless supplied. Ensure the proposal is a fit argument, not a product-feature inventory.
Workshop deck
Use when the slides need to guide a group decision.
Create a facilitation deck for a [WORKSHOP LENGTH] workshop with [PARTICIPANTS] on [WORKSHOP TOPIC]. Inputs: [BACKGROUND]. By the end, participants must produce [OUTPUT]. Provide slide-by-slide instructions, timings, exact activity prompts, materials needed, and capture method for each exercise. Design opening, context, divergence, prioritisation, and commitment stages. Include a decision rule for ties and a parking-lot method for out-of-scope issues. Do not assume agreement or manufacture a conclusion before the workshop.
Tips
- Give each slide one job: establish a fact, explain a tradeoff, or ask for a decision. A slide that tries to do all three is usually unreadable.
- Use message titles such as “The pilot improved throughput outside peak season,” not labels such as “Pilot Results.”
- Place the evidence nearest the claim it supports, including a date range for operational metrics and a source note for external data.
- Rehearse from speaker notes and cut content until the spoken story fits the time; a 12-minute deck needs room for transitions and decision discussion.
FAQ
Can ChatGPT create a Google Slides file directly?
This prompt creates the deck content and build specification. Depending on your tools, you may still need to build or import the slides in Google Slides.
How many slides do I need for a 10-minute presentation?
Usually six to ten substantive slides, depending on complexity and discussion. Use time per idea rather than a fixed slide count.
Should every slide have a chart or image?
No. Use visuals when they clarify a comparison, process, or evidence. A decision slide may be clearer with a short recommendation and explicit choices.
