Build a presentation from verified material
A useful presentation follows the audience’s decision or learning need. First decide what they should remember or do, then organise evidence around that goal instead of filling a predetermined number of slides.
Method
1. Create the argument
Name the audience, duration and final action. Write one main message for each section. Gather verified facts and mark missing evidence before asking for slide suggestions.
2. Reduce and illustrate
Keep one clear purpose per slide. Use a chart only when its data and units are known. Label examples as examples and avoid stock decoration that suggests evidence you do not have.
3. Rehearse the actual format
Read at the intended screen size and check contrast, order and alternative descriptions. Time the spoken explanation. Remove details that obstruct the argument and retain sources near factual claims.
Example to adapt
Outline a five-minute talk explaining a fictional library booking process. Use the supplied steps, include one clear process diagram and finish with the action the audience should take. Do not invent usage statistics.

Deliverable
A structured outline, source list and rehearsed presentation with a clear final action.
Limitations
An AI outline is a draft. Check exported slides, reading order and figures in the actual presentation software before sharing.
