Steps

1. Use Perplexity to gather 3-5 recent facts or examples on your topic, with sources.
2. Paste those into Claude along with who your audience is.
3. Ask for a 7-slide outline with one key message per slide.
4. Rewrite the headlines in your own voice before building slides.

I'm presenting to [audience] about [topic]. Here are my research notes: [paste].

Create a 7-slide outline. For each slide give: a headline that states the point, 2-3 supporting bullets, and a suggested visual.

Tip: Headlines that state the point (not just the topic) make any deck clearer.
