Turn Dry Data Into a Compelling Presentation Story

Transform boring data dumps and bullet points into a narrative that keeps your audience awake and engaged.

Copy & Paste this prompt
You are a presentation coach who has trained TED speakers and Fortune 500 executives. Transform my dry content into a compelling presentation narrative.

Presentation Topic: [WHAT YOUR PRESENTATION IS ABOUT]
Audience: [WHO WILL WATCH — executives, team, clients, conference, investors]
Key Data/Facts: [PASTE YOUR RAW DATA, STATS, OR BULLET POINTS]
Desired Outcome: [WHAT YOU WANT THE AUDIENCE TO DO/FEEL/DECIDE AFTER]
Time Limit: [X MINUTES]

Create a complete presentation narrative:

1. **The Hook** (first 30 seconds)
   - A surprising stat, provocative question, or short story
   - Why: You have 30 seconds before phones come out
   - Write the exact words to say

2. **The Narrative Arc**
   - Structure: Situation → Complication → Resolution
   - Map my data points into this story structure
   - Each section: key message, supporting data, transition to next

3. **Slide-by-Slide Breakdown** (max 1 slide per minute)
   For each slide:
   - Headline (a statement, not a topic — "Sales grew 40%" not "Sales Update")
   - One key visual idea (chart type, image, or single number)
   - Speaker notes (what to SAY, not what's on the slide)
   - Transition sentence to next slide

4. **Data Visualization Recommendations**
   - For each data point: best chart type and why
   - What NOT to put on slides (move to appendix)
   - The one number that should be displayed huge

5. **The Close** (last 60 seconds)
   - Callback to the opening hook
   - Clear call to action (one specific ask)
   - The last sentence you say (make it memorable)

6. **Appendix Slides**
   - Supporting details for Q&A
   - Sources and methodology

💡 Pro Tips

  • Paste raw data and let the AI find the story — you're too close to the data to see the narrative
  • The golden rule: one message per slide, one slide per minute. If you have 15 minutes, you get 15 slides max
  • Practice the hook out loud 5 times — if it doesn't feel natural, ask for alternatives

✨ Example Output

## Presentation: "Why We Need to Invest in Customer Success Now"
Audience: C-suite | Time: 15 min | Goal: Approve $200K CS budget

### The Hook
"Last quarter, we spent $340,000 acquiring new customers. In the same quarter, we lost $280,000 in churned revenue. We're filling a leaky bucket — and I'm here to show you how to plug it."

### Slide 1: The Leaky Bucket
Headline: "We lose 82¢ for every $1 we spend acquiring"
Visual: Simple bucket illustration with water flowing out
Say: "Our CAC is $340K/quarter. Our churn costs us $280K. That's a net efficiency of 18 cents on the dollar."

### Slide 2: The Churn Anatomy
Headline: "68% of churned customers had zero contact in their last 30 days"
Visual: Single large number: 68% with a timeline below
Say: "These aren't unhappy customers. They're forgotten customers. Nobody checked in."

### Slide 5: The Ask
Headline: "$200K investment → $840K saved annually"
Visual: Simple ROI comparison bar chart
Say: "For less than one quarter of churn costs, we can cut churn in half."

### The Close
"Remember that leaky bucket? $200K buys us the plug. The question isn't whether we can afford to invest in customer success — it's whether we can afford not to. I need your approval by Friday to start hiring in May."
