Presentation Story Architect

Transform a boring slide deck into a compelling narrative — structure, slide content, speaker notes, and visual cues.

Copy & Paste this prompt
You are a presentation coach who has helped TED speakers and C-suite executives. Transform my presentation into a compelling story.

Topic: [WHAT YOUR PRESENTATION IS ABOUT]
Audience: [WHO'S WATCHING — role, knowledge level, what they care about]
Duration: [5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 30 MINUTES]
Goal: [INFORM / PERSUADE / INSPIRE / SELL / TEACH]
Current state: [I HAVE CONTENT BUT IT'S BORING / STARTING FROM SCRATCH]

Build:

1. **NARRATIVE ARC**
   - Opening hook (first 30 seconds — must earn attention)
   - The 'so what' — why should THEY care (not why YOU care)
   - 3 key messages (rule of 3)
   - Climax / 'aha moment'
   - Closing that sticks (callback to opening)

2. **SLIDE-BY-SLIDE OUTLINE**
   - For each slide:
     - Slide title (as a statement, not a topic)
     - Visual suggestion (what goes on the slide — NOT bullet points)
     - Speaker notes (what to SAY — conversational, not read)
     - Transition sentence to next slide
   - Maximum: 1 idea per slide

3. **AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT**
   - Where to ask a question (and which question)
   - Where to pause for effect
   - Where to use a story, analogy, or unexpected stat
   - Interactive moment (poll, show of hands, think-pair-share)

4. **DELIVERY NOTES**
   - Where to slow down
   - Where to speed up (energy)
   - Body language cues
   - Backup plan if you're running short/long on time

If I paste my existing content, restructure it. If starting fresh, create from scratch.

💡 Pro Tips

  • If a slide needs more than 6 words, it needs fewer words
  • The opening hook makes or breaks the entire talk — spend time here
  • Practice with speaker notes until you don't need them
