Presentation maker: a finished PowerPoint deck with speaker notes
A pitch on Thursday, a quarterly review or a class talk, and an empty slide deck staring back. This prompt has your todo.is agent plan the story, write slides with one idea each, build charts from your numbers, add speaker notes and save an editable PowerPoint file you can tweak and present.
The prompt
- Make a PowerPoint presentation about [TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE]. Goal: [GOAL]. Length: [NUMBER OF SLIDES] slides for a [TALK LENGTH] talk. Use the facts and numbers in [SOURCE MATERIAL]; if something is missing, research it and add source links in the notes. Structure: title, the problem, 3 to 5 key points, a summary and one clear next step. One idea per slide, a headline that states the takeaway, at most 25 words of body text, and a chart wherever there are numbers. Style: [BRAND OR STYLE]. Add speaker notes for every slide. Deliver an editable .pptx and a PDF copy.
What to change
- [TOPIC]: E.g. "why we should move our support team to a 4-day week trial".
- [AUDIENCE]: E.g. "the leadership team", "investors", "a Year 10 class", "a client".
- [GOAL]: What they should think or do afterwards, e.g. "approve a 3-month pilot".
- [NUMBER OF SLIDES]: E.g. "10". A rough rule is one slide per minute or a bit less.
- [TALK LENGTH]: E.g. "15-minute".
- [SOURCE MATERIAL]: Attach a report, spreadsheet or notes and write "the attached files", or paste key facts.
- [BRAND OR STYLE]: E.g. "our colours navy and coral, logo attached", "clean minimal white", or attach a company template .pptx.
Example result
- Deck: A 4-day week pilot for Support
- 10 slides · leadership team · 15 minutes · goal: approve a 3-month pilot · navy and coral
- Slide by slide
- • 1. Title: "A 4-day week pilot for Support: 3 months, no extra cost"
- • 2. The problem: "We are losing experienced agents." Chart: support team attrition by quarter, from your HR sheet
- • 3. Why it matters: "Each departure costs us about 3 months of ramp-up." Simple timeline graphic
- • 4. The idea: "Same hours of coverage, 4 days per person, staggered rotas." Rota diagram, Monday to Friday
- • 5. Evidence: "Other companies' trials point to steady output and lower burnout." Two short summaries, sources in the notes
- • 6. How we'd run it: three steps: rota redesign, 12-week pilot, weekly metrics
- • 7. What we'll measure: first response time, CSAT, tickets per agent, sick days
- • 8. Risks and safeguards: coverage gaps covered by an on-call rota, a stop rule if CSAT drops 5 points
- • 9. Summary: "Low risk, reversible, measurable."
- • 10. The ask: "Approve a 12-week pilot starting 1 March."
- Speaker notes, slide 2
- "Over the last four quarters we lost 9 of 30 agents. Most exit interviews mention burnout. This slide is the reason we're here."

How to do it with todo.is
- Copy the prompt and fill in the topic, audience, goal, slide count, talk length, material and style.
- Paste it on the Today screen in todo.is and attach your notes, data or a company template.
- Open the .pptx in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides and read through the speaker notes.
- Ask for changes by slide number ("slide 5: add a quote", "cut slide 8") and your agent sends a new version.
Tips for a better result
- Write slide headlines as full sentences that state the point. If someone reads only the headlines, they should get the story.
- Give your agent your real numbers in a spreadsheet. Charts built from your data persuade far better than generic stats.
- Attach your company's .pptx template so fonts, colours and layouts match your brand.
- Ask for a one-page summary or a handout version to send after the meeting.
presentation maker: FAQ
- How many slides should a presentation have? A common guide is about one slide per minute, so 10 to 15 slides for a 15-minute talk. Fewer, clearer slides are almost always better.
- Can I edit the slides afterwards? Yes. You get an editable .pptx with real text boxes and charts. It opens in PowerPoint, Keynote and Google Slides.
- Can it use my company's template? Yes. Attach your template .pptx or a past deck and your agent follows its layouts, fonts and colours.
- Will it make up facts? It uses the material you give it first. When it researches something, it adds source links in the speaker notes so you can check every claim.
