Turn Raw Notes Into a Slide Deck Outline
Convert raw notes into a complete slide deck outline with titles, core messages, and transitions.
This prompt converts messy notes into a presentation-ready outline where every slide carries a concrete title, one plain-English core message, the supporting evidence or visual, and the transition to the next slide — paced at roughly one slide per minute. Reach for it when you have the raw material and a deadline but no narrative shape. The hard rule to cut anything that doesn't serve the goal is what stops your deck from becoming a 40-slide data dump nobody follows.
Convert these raw notes into a slide deck outline. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Deck purpose: [GOAL]. Time available: [MINUTES]. Notes: [PASTE]. For each slide: (1) slide title (concrete, not "Introduction"), (2) one core message in plain English, (3) the supporting evidence or visual to include, (4) the transition to the next slide. Aim for 1 slide per minute. Cut anything that doesn't serve the goal.
What you can expect back
Slide 1 — "Slow APIs are costing us conversions" Core message: Latency is directly hurting revenue, not just engineering comfort. Visual: Line chart of API latency vs. conversion rate over the last quarter. Transition: "And customers are already telling us." Slide 2 — "Support tickets are up 30%" Core message: The pain is visible and growing, not hypothetical. Visual: Bar chart of ticket volume by month. Transition: "The root cause is capacity." Slide 3 — "The team is at 100% and falling behind" Core message: We can't fix this with the people we have. Visual: Sprint capacity vs. backlog; note two competitors shipped faster. Transition: "Here's what inaction costs." Slide 4 — "$200k in revenue is at risk" Core message: Doing nothing has a concrete price tag. Visual: Single bold number with the risk breakdown. Transition: "Two hires close the gap." Slide 5 — "Two backend hires clear the backlog in one quarter" Core message: Specific ask, specific payoff, specific timeline. Visual: Before/after backlog projection. Transition: Open the floor for the decision.
Illustrative example — your results will vary by tool and inputs.
Get sharper results
- 01Lead with your ask in the goal field as a single decision, and the model will build a deck that argues toward it rather than reporting evenly on everything.
- 02Tell it the audience's bias or likely objection ('they'll worry about budget') so a slide can pre-empt the pushback before it's raised.
- 03Trust the one-slide-per-minute math — if it produces more slides than minutes, ask it to merge the weakest two rather than talking faster.
- 04Ask for a single 'if you remember one thing' takeaway slide at the end, since execs retain the closer far more than the body.
- 05Have it mark which slides are skippable if you run short on time, so you can adapt live without losing the argument's spine.
Adapt it for your case
Add 'include 2-3 sentences of speaker notes per slide that I'd actually say out loud.'
Ask it to 'organize as a narrative: situation → complication → resolution → ask' instead of a flat list.
Reframe the goal as 'raise a seed round' and ask it to map notes onto the standard pitch-deck sections (problem, solution, market, traction, ask).
Common questions
How many slides will I get?
Roughly one per minute of your time slot. If it overshoots, it's a sign you're trying to cover too much — ask it to cut to the slides that serve the goal.
Will it design the actual slides?
No — it produces the outline, titles, messages, and what visual each slide needs. You or a design tool build the actual deck from that blueprint.
Can it work from really rough notes?
Yes, the messier the better as input. Just paste everything; it's told to cut what doesn't serve the goal, so dumping extra context won't bloat the result.
