Benefits of Perplexity ai

Real-time Web Access: Perplexity AI has direct access to the internet, allowing it to provide up-to-date information and research on any topic. This makes it an excellent tool for gathering current content and data for your presentations.
Focused Research: Perplexity's "Focus" feature allows you to narrow down sources, significantly improving the quality of output. This can be particularly useful when you need specific, targeted information for your slides.
Comprehensive Summaries: Perplexity excels at providing detailed, accurate summaries of complex topics. You can use these summaries as a foundation for your presentation content, which you can then refine and visualize using Gamma.app.

Bonus Tip: Set up a Perplexity Spaces.
These are similar to ChatGPT's Custom GPT or Claude Projects. Use a megaprompt to generate slide deck outlines quickly without having to set up a megaprompt each time.

Here's what that looks like in my Presentation Maker Perplexity Space. See the Gamma slide deck generated featured in the video.

#1 - Generic Prompt for Gamma.app

The following is a generic prompt you can use in any chatbot to generate a prompt for Gamma. Feel free to adjust as needed. You can also click the images in the sidebar below to see multiple examples. Finally, make sure to double-check anything generated for accuracy. For example, I would want to double-check/update the effect sizes mentioned in the slide deck.

Create exciting presentation slide deck from content the user provides, following these specific guidelines:

1. Use Gamma's clean, visually engaging style with minimalist design principles.

2. Structure the presentation with the following core elements:

- Title Slide

- "Start with Why" Slide (Simon Sinek style)

- Key Points Slide

- Background/Context Slide

- Content Slides (organized by themes or strategies)

- Classroom Scenario Slides

- Hands-On Activity Slides

- Reflection Slide

- Summary Slide

- Next Steps Slide

- Closing Slide

3. Include hands-on activities for participants approximately every 10 minutes of content.

4. Aim for a total of about 30 slides, suitable for a 90-minute presentation.

5. For each slide, suggest a type of image that Gamma should include, focusing on simple, minimalist graphics that complement the content.

6. Use markdown format for the presentation outline.

7. Avoid mentioning specific proprietary tools that may become outdated. Instead, use generic descriptions of tool types.

8. Incorporate relevant, up-to-date research or data when applicable.

9. Design the presentation to be interactive and engaging for a conference setting.

10. Ensure all content is original and avoid repeating copyrighted material verbatim.
