Write a presentation script for [AUDIENCE] about [TOPIC]. The presentation goal is [GOAL], the available time is [TIME LIMIT], and the delivery setting is [SETTING]. Here is my slide outline, required facts, and source notes: [SLIDE NOTES]. My speaking style and any words or claims to avoid are [VOICE AND CONSTRAINTS]. First, build the script around one audience-relevant throughline: the problem, decision, or change that connects every slide. Do not narrate slide text word for word. For each slide, write what I should say, including a spoken transition that explains why the next slide matters. Use plain spoken sentences, contractions where appropriate, and concrete language. Put numbers in context by stating the comparison, time period, unit, and source if supplied. Structure the talk as: opening that establishes relevance within the first 30 seconds; a short agenda or framing only if it earns its time; 2–4 main points with evidence and examples; a clear recommendation, decision request, or next step; and a close that restates the consequence of acting. Reserve time for [Q&A ALLOWANCE] if relevant. Mark pauses, slide advances, demonstrations, and audience questions in brackets. Do not add research, customer quotes, results, or commitments absent from my notes.
Output a table with slide number, target time, slide cue, speaker script, and transition. Then provide a 60-second opening and a 30-second closing as standalone rehearsal versions. Before answering, check that total speaking time fits the limit after the Q&A allowance and that every statistic, quote, and claim appears in my source notes. Flag weak or unsupported slides rather than filling gaps. Ask up to 3 clarifying questions only if a required input is missing.
Fill in
| Placeholder | What to enter | Example |
|---|---|---|
| [AUDIENCE] | Describe who will attend, what they know already, and what they care about. | the CFO, COO, and department heads; they know our hiring process but not the details of the new software |
| [TOPIC] | Enter the subject of the presentation. | approval to replace three disconnected recruiting tools with one applicant tracking system |
| [GOAL] | Enter the decision, understanding, or action the presentation should produce. | approve a six-month pilot and nominate one department representative |
| [TIME LIMIT] | Enter the total presentation time excluding or including Q&A as appropriate. | 12 minutes |
| [SETTING] | Describe the meeting context, such as a client pitch, all-hands, conference talk, or board meeting. | a monthly executive operating meeting |
| [SLIDE NOTES] | Paste slide titles, bullet points, speaker notes, verified facts, and sources. | 1: current workflow; 2: 4 systems and duplicate entry; 3: 31 hiring managers surveyed, 19 report weekly duplicate work; 4: pilot scope; 5: cost estimate $18,000 for six months; 6: proposed decision. Survey conducted August 2026; no projected savings estimate. |
| [VOICE AND CONSTRAINTS] | Describe your natural speaking style plus terms, claims, or topics to avoid. | calm and direct; avoid claiming cost savings or promising a company-wide rollout |
| [Q&A ALLOWANCE] | Enter the time to reserve for questions, or write none. | 3 minutes |
How to use
- Paste the slide sequence and the exact facts available; label any slide that is only a concept or needs more evidence.
- Set a real time limit and reserve question time before asking for the script.
- Rehearse against the target times, then shorten the slide scripts that cause you to rush the decision request.
- Follow up with: “Cut this to eight minutes while retaining the decision request, the survey result, and one concrete example.”
Variations
Executive decision
Use this for a meeting where leaders need to approve, reject, or prioritize something.
Write a [MINUTES]-minute executive presentation script requesting [DECISION] from [AUDIENCE]. My evidence and slide notes are [NOTES]. The risks, cost, tradeoffs, and decision deadline are [DECISION FACTS]. Produce a slide-by-slide script with one recommended action, alternatives considered, consequence of delay, and a precise decision ask. Do not invent benefits, savings, or consensus. Mark claims needing evidence. Check that the recommendation follows from the supplied facts and that the ask is actionable.
Conference talk
Use this for a public talk that needs a memorable, understandable story.
Create a [MINUTES]-minute conference talk script on [TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE]. My true experience, examples, and sources are [MATERIAL]. The audience should leave able to [OUTCOME]. Write an opening scene or concrete observation, three connected ideas, one practical takeaway, and a closing callback. Include slide cues and target times. Avoid invented anecdotes, statistics, and quotes. Check that every example supports the central idea and that the takeaway is usable without purchasing anything.
Demo script
Use this when a live product demonstration needs a clean story and recovery points.
Write a live demo script for [PRODUCT] for [AUDIENCE] with a [MINUTES]-minute limit. The key workflow to demonstrate is [WORKFLOW], and confirmed features, limits, and environment details are [FACTS]. Produce a sequence with opening context, setup, each click or action, what to say while the screen changes, a backup statement for each failure-prone step, and a closing CTA. Do not promise unsupported integrations or outcomes. Check that the workflow proves one clear value and fits the allotted time.
Tips
- Give each slide one job: establish a problem, provide evidence, explain an option, or request a decision. A script cannot rescue slides that try to do all four.
- For numerical slides, write the sentence you will say about why the number matters; speaking a number without its denominator, comparison, or time period leaves the audience to guess.
- Time the opening and decision request separately. Those are the sections most likely to be cut accidentally during rehearsal.
- Keep a short answer note for predictable objections, but do not bury every caveat in the main script when it belongs in Q&A.
FAQ
How many words fit in a presentation minute?
A natural presentation pace is often about 120 to 150 words per minute, but demonstrations, pauses, and dense slides take longer. Rehearse the actual script rather than trusting word count alone.
Should I write the script before or after making slides?
Start with a slide outline and key evidence, then write the spoken transitions and explanation. The script often reveals slides that lack a clear point or contain too much text.
Can AI add examples to make my presentation stronger?
It can help reshape examples you provide or identify where an example is needed. Do not let it invent customer stories, results, quotations, or research to fill an evidence gap.
