How to Use AI for Presentations
AI can help you go from a blank page to a clear presentation fast. The message, the stories and the delivery still need to be yours.
To use AI for presentations, tell it your audience, your goal and your key message, ask for an outline with one idea per slide, have it suggest headlines, examples and questions the audience may ask, use it to tighten your wording and practice by asking it to play a skeptical audience member. Add your own stories and check every fact.
AI is helping people create work they could not before. Microsoft found 58% of AI users say they are producing work they could not a year ago.
A presentation is a conversation with an audience. AI helps you prepare, but you are the one in the room.
Seven ways AI helps with presentations
- Clarify the message. One sentence.
- Outline the flow. One idea per slide.
- Write headlines. Short and clear.
- Find examples. To make points concrete.
- Anticipate questions. And prepare answers.
- Tighten wording. Fewer words per slide.
- Practice. With a skeptical audience.
Start with the audience and the message
Tell AI who will be in the room, what they care about and the one thing you want them to remember. The outline gets much better.
Anticipate tough questions
Ask AI to list the ten hardest questions this audience might ask. Preparing answers builds confidence. See How to Present to Executives.
Add your stories
Stories are what people remember. AI can suggest where a story fits, but the story should be yours. See How to Tell a Story in a Presentation.
Check every fact
Verify statistics and claims before they go on a slide. See How to Check AI’s Work.
