Drafting presentations

Purpose 

Generative AI can help you in the process of thinking through and drafting presentations. It may be helpful in brainstorming ideas, suggesting a way to structure the presentation, and others.

Acknowledge

Please check and follow your local guidelines about whether this use of generative AI is permitted. If it is permitted and if you use this prompt in the process of creating work for assessment, you may need to acknowledge the use of ai. 

Prompt

Note: The following prompts were tested in Microsoft Copilot for Web. It is most suitable for language based generative AI.

Make sure you modify the prompt below to suit your topic and the concepts you'd like to work on.

You are creating a presentation slide deck for [topic]. Create a plan for what slides to include and in an order easy for comprehension. It should start with a title page slide with a title. Each slide should include a subtitle, content, and a visual recommendation. Then at the end, point me towards where I can find presentation templates and resources that are free for me to use. Include slides on [specific subtopics]. 

Optional follow-up prompt

For each slide, suggest key points that should be made.

Explanation

The prompt gives AI a task (creating a presentation slide deck plan), requirements (what needs to be included in the plan), and a task to search for other resources on the internet (look for free resources on the web).

These prompt templates aim to provide a starting point when creating a presentation deck and also search for free resources that can be used for the slides. 

Examples

The screenshots below demonstrate how Microsoft Copilot for Web provides a plan for how to structure the presentation on the impact of climate change on coastal cities and links to free resources on the web that might be useful when creating the slides.
