Day 14 – AI-Powered Presentations Lesson

Lesson Overview

This lesson shows how to create an entire presentation with AI in four practical stages: ideation, content drafting, slide structuring, and file generation. You will see how to start in ChatGPT to get the heavy lifting done, then level up the visuals and layout using tools that are designed for great-looking slides. The goal is not to hand everything over to AI, but to get a strong starting point you can edit and personalize.

Why this matters: most people spend too much time on structure and formatting. You will learn a repeatable process to brainstorm, organize, and build slides faster, then apply polish where it counts. The lesson also covers image options, including AI-generated graphics and a royalty-free library, so you can present publicly without legal risk.

This fits the boot camp as a practical capstone skill. Whether you are preparing a sales pitch, a training session, or a product update, you will leave with a way to go from blank page to a presentable deck in a short amount of time. Examples in the video include creating a deck on the impact of AI on marketing, but the same approach works for any topic.

Who This Is For

If you make presentations and want to save hours while raising quality, this lesson is for you. It fits both internal and public-facing work.

• Marketers preparing campaign updates or strategy briefings
• Sales teams building pitch decks and demos
• Educators and trainers creating lesson slides
• Founders and product leaders outlining vision or roadmaps
• Content creators packaging research into slide format
• Students assembling class presentations on a deadline

Where This Fits in a Workflow

Use this lesson when you need to build a presentation from scratch or upgrade a text-heavy deck quickly. Start by turning your topic into an outline, expand it into content, then convert that content into a slide-by-slide plan. From there, either export a PowerPoint file directly from ChatGPT or paste the content into a presentation tool that can style it for you.

Example applications:

• You already drafted a write-up for a company update. Convert it to slides, then import the deck into Gamma to auto-apply a clean theme and images.
• You have a pitch concept in a few bullet points. Ask ChatGPT for an outline and detailed content, generate the PowerPoint, then use PowerPoint Designer to improve layout and typography.

This approach helps you deliver faster while keeping control of voice, accuracy, and visuals.

Technical & Workflow Benefits

Old way: Start from a blank slide deck, wrestle with structure, write all the copy, hunt for images, and nudge shapes around slide by slide. The result often lacks consistency and wastes time on formatting instead of message.

AI-assisted way:

• ChatGPT drafts the outline, writes section content, and breaks it down into a slide plan with titles, subtitles, and visual ideas.
• ChatGPT can generate a PowerPoint file that opens in your local PowerPoint app.
• PowerPoint Designer proposes modern layouts per slide in a few clicks.
• Presentation-first tools like Gamma can import a file or raw text, apply a theme, add visuals, and keep the design consistent.

Where this shines:

• Internal briefings where speed matters and clean consistency beats custom design.
• Pitches and trainings where you want to try many variations quickly, then polish the winner.

You still need to tweak language and images, but the time saved on structure and layout is significant.

Practice Exercise

Use a topic you care about and build a presentable deck fast.

• Step 1: In ChatGPT, ask for a detailed outline for your topic, then have it draft the content for each section. Next, ask it to act as a presentation designer and convert the content into a slide-by-slide structure that includes a title, a subtitle, and a suggested visual for each slide.
• Step 2: Ask ChatGPT to generate a PowerPoint file. Open it in PowerPoint and apply PowerPoint Designer to three slides. Then import the same file into Gamma, pick a theme, and let it regenerate the deck with images.
• Step 3: Replace any weak images using an AI image tool or a royalty-free library. Edit copy on at least two slides to sound more like you.

Reflection: Which path produced the stronger starting point for you, PowerPoint plus Designer or importing into Gamma? What edits made the biggest difference to clarity or tone?

Course Context Recap

This lesson closes the 14-Day AI Boot Camp by showing how to turn AI-written ideas into a clean, shareable presentation. Earlier lessons helped you generate content and structure; today you package that work into slides using general AI and presentation-specific tools. Watch the lesson video for the exact prompts, demo of PowerPoint Designer, and examples with tools like Gamma, Tome, and Beautiful.ai. Continue through the rest of the course materials to reinforce your workflow and build more decks with the same process across topics.
