40 ChatGPT Prompts for Presentations That Actually Work (2026)

You are a senior strategy consultant. Audience: [who, what they know, what they doubt]. Goal: at the end they [decide / approve / understand what]. Length: [10] slides, [15] minutes. Materials: use only what I paste below. [paste] Output: a numbered outline — an action title per slide (the takeaway as one sentence, max 12 words) plus 2–3 supporting points. No slide text yet. If something essential is missing, ask me up to three questions first.

Interview me about a presentation on [topic], one question at a time, eight at most: audience, the decision I want, time, what they already believe, the strongest objection, my materials. Then summarise my answers as a one-paragraph brief for me to confirm.

Structure this deck answer-first (pyramid principle). Governing thought: [my recommendation]. Give three arguments that together prove it — no overlaps, no gaps — and the evidence each needs from my material. [paste] Outline: executive summary, three sections of 2–3 slides, next steps. Flag any argument my material cannot yet support.

Give me three storylines for a [12]-slide deck on [topic] for [audience]: (a) problem → solution → proof (b) situation → complication → resolution (c) recommendation first, then reasons. Slide titles only, plus one line on when each works. Then pick one for this audience and say why.

My slide titles in order: [paste] Read only the titles, as [the CFO] seeing the deck cold. Does the argument hold? Point out topic titles, logic jumps, missing steps and the one slide you would cut. Then rewrite every title as a takeaway of max 12 words.

Turn this [report / paper / transcript] into a [10]-slide outline for [audience], who will not read it. [paste] Follow the argument, not the section order. After each point, give the page or paragraph in brackets. Skip background and methodology unless needed to accept a conclusion; list what you left out.

Adapt this outline from [the engineering team] to [the executive committee]. [paste] Same facts, new emphasis: less technical detail, more cost, risk and timing. Recommendation on slide 2, [7] slides in total. Show old and new slide titles side by side.

Write three opening slides for this deck [paste outline]: one with the most surprising fact in my material (nothing invented), one with a short customer story, one with the decision we need today. Then a closing slide: the one thing to remember and the next step, with [owner] and [date].

Write slide [4] of this outline. [paste] Title: the takeaway, max 12 words. Body: up to 3 bullets of max 12 words, or one 35-word paragraph — not both. Visual: one chart, table or diagram that proves the title, in one line. Use only facts from my material.

Write every slide of the approved outline. Rules: one message per slide; takeaway titles; max 40 body words; no filler (“in today’s fast-paced world”); numbers as digits with units. Format: Slide N — Title / Body / Visual / Source (my material, or “needs source”).

This slide is a wall of bullets: [paste] Decide what structure the content really has — sequence, comparison, hierarchy, cause and effect, or list — and rewrite it as numbered steps, two columns, a 2×2, a driver tree or grouped bullets. Keep every fact; cut every repeat.

Write a one-slide executive summary of this deck. [paste] One situation line; three findings, each with one number from my material; the recommendation with cost and timing. Max 70 words.

Give me five titles for this slide [paste]: each states the takeaway in max 10 words and uses the slide’s key number. Label them plain, bold, question, contrast, number-led, and recommend one for a sceptical [audience].

Rewrite these slides for [non-specialists / students / investors outside our industry]. [paste] Replace jargon, or define a term in five words at first use. Keep every figure exactly as written. Mark any sentence you could not simplify without changing its meaning.

Build the data slides using ONLY the figures in this table. [paste] Never invent a figure, percentage, date or source. Where a slide needs a number I have not given, write [NEEDS DATA: what]. Label forecasts and estimates “estimate” on the slide. Then list every number used and the row it came from.

For each data set, recommend one chart type and say what it makes visible: change over time, part-to-whole, ranking, distribution or relationship. [paste] Give a takeaway title, axis labels with units, the series to highlight and what to grey out. No 3D charts; no pies with more than four slices.

Here are our Q[3] results against plan and last year. [paste] Write three takeaways for the board, each with its figures and the calculation shown (e.g. 4.2 ÷ 3.8 − 1 = +10.5%). Check every calculation. Do not invent causes; list the questions the board will likely ask instead.

I need market context on [market] in [region]. Search the web if you can. For each figure (size, growth, player shares) give the value, year, definition, publisher and link. Mark each “sourced” or “from memory — verify”. Never invent a figure; never combine numbers from different sources.

Turn this spreadsheet extract into one slide. [paste] Keep the 4–6 numbers that support the title; move the rest to a backup slide. Table columns: Metric / Actual / Plan / Variance, consistent decimals, negative variances flagged. The title states what the table proves.

Audit every number in this deck. [paste all slide text] Table: slide, figure, what it measures, origin (my material / your addition / unclear), and whether it matches the same figure elsewhere. Flag unsourced figures, percentages that do not match their base and totals that do not add up. Fix nothing yet.

For each slide in this outline, choose a layout and give one reason: [paste] title + chart · two-column comparison · 2×2 matrix · timeline · funnel · driver tree · scorecard table · big number · quote + photo · full-bleed image. Never the same layout more than twice in a row.

Write a design brief for this deck for a designer or an AI slide tool. [paste outline] Setting (projected or read on a laptop), tone in three adjectives, palette with hex codes around [brand colour], a font pairing, chart rules, image style, five things to avoid. Under 250 words.

Suggest a visual for each slide title that makes the point without text — diagram, icons or photo. [paste] For photos, write a 30-word image prompt: subject, setting, lighting, framing, 16:9, no text, no logos.

Review these slides as a presentation designer. [paste] For each: body word count, the element the eye should hit first, and what to cut or move to notes so it reads in five seconds. Table: slide / words now / target / what to cut.

Redesign this slide as a strategy-consulting slide: [paste] action title stating the conclusion; one-line scope subtitle; evidence as a chart or structured table; a callout with the implication; a source line. Say what goes left, right and top, and write every text element.

Write speaker notes for each slide. [paste] 80–120 words per slide, spoken style, short sentences; add what is NOT on the slide; end with a transition line. Mark [PAUSE] and [CLICK]. Total must fit [15] minutes at about 130 words a minute.

Act as the most sceptical person in the room: [e.g. a CFO who thinks the budget is too high]. [paste deck] Ask the ten hardest questions this deck invites, most likely first. For each, suggest a 40-word answer using only facts in the deck, and the backup slide that would help.

My slot is [10] minutes; my notes run about [14]. [paste] Cut to fit: keep the opening, three key points and the ask; move detail to backup slides. Show word counts per slide before and after.

Here is my rehearsal transcript. [paste] Coach me: where I buried the point, filler words and their counts, sentences over 25 words, and anything I said that contradicts a slide. End with the three changes that would help most.

Turn this deck and its notes into a two-page leave-behind for people who missed the meeting. [paste] Three-sentence summary, key figures with sources, the decision needed, next steps. Prose, not bullets.

Cut this deck from [15] to [10] slides. [paste] Merge slides that make the same point, move detail to an appendix, delete what nobody would miss. Table: old slide → kept / merged into N / appendix / deleted, with a one-line reason.

Check this deck for consistency. [paste] The same figure stated two ways; mixed terms (customers / clients / users); title capitalisation and tense; number formats (1.2M vs 1,200,000); date formats. List fixes with slide numbers. Rewrite nothing else.

Rewrite these slides in a [direct, confident, no-marketing] tone. [paste] Remove superlatives (revolutionary, cutting-edge), stacked hedges (“might potentially”) and passive voice where the actor matters. Keep every fact and number unchanged.

Red-team this presentation. [paste] Name the three weakest claims, the assumption everything depends on, and evidence against it I have not addressed. Propose one slide to deal with it. Be blunt.

On slide [6] only: turn the bullet list into a three-step process diagram with the same three points. Keep the title. Change no other slide. Before editing, tell me exactly what you will change and wait for my confirmation.

Create an 11-slide seed pitch outline for [company], which [one-line description], raising [amount]. Slides: problem, solution, why now, market size, product, business model, traction, competition, go-to-market, team, ask and use of funds. Market size bottom-up (customers × price); each input sourced or marked “assumption”. Use my metrics exactly: [paste MRR, growth, retention, CAC]. Takeaway titles, no superlatives.

Build a [10]-slide sales deck for [product], aimed at [buyer role] at [type of company]. Their problem in their words, cost of doing nothing, our approach, proof, how it works, pricing options, implementation timeline, next step. Every slide must make sense when forwarded without me. Use only the customer results I paste; never invent one. [paste]

Create a Q[3] [year] business review for [client / team]. Slides: KPI scorecard vs target (red / amber / green), what went well, what did not and why, metric trends, risks with owners, next-quarter priorities, asks. Use only the data below; mark any KPI without data [MISSING]. [paste]

Create a [45]-minute lesson on [topic] for [first-year undergraduates] who know [prior knowledge]. Three objectives starting with a verb. Hook; three sections, each with a concept slide, an example and a check-for-understanding question; summary; exit ticket. Define each new term once. Cite a source for every fact or statistic; never invent a study.

Create a [15]-slide thesis defence outline from my abstract and chapter summaries. [paste] Order: gap, question, method (as a flow diagram), results (one finding per slide, effect size in the title), limitations, contribution, future work. Keep every statistic exactly as written. Then list the eight likeliest examiner questions and the slide that answers each.
