Example Usage

Input:

audience: "C-suite executives with limited technical background"
goal: "educate"
duration: "20 min"

Slide Design Principles

Headlines

• ✅ "AI Reduces Costs by 40%" (specific, impactful)
• ❌ "Cost Reduction" (vague, boring)

Bullet Points

• Maximum 5 per slide
• Start with action verbs
• Keep under 10 words each
• One idea per bullet

Visual Balance

• 60% visual / 40% text for engagement
• One key message per slide
• Consistent alignment and spacing

Image Prompt Best Practices

For AI Generation (DALL-E/Midjourney)

"Professional [subject], [style] style, [color scheme],
[composition], high quality, presentation slide background"

Example:

"Professional team collaboration in modern office, corporate style,
blue and white color scheme, wide angle, high quality, clean background
suitable for presentation slide"

For Stock Photos

Use 3-5 keywords: "business team collaboration meeting modern"

Python Export

The accompanying presentation_builder.py script can:

1. Parse the markdown output
2. Generate .pptx file using python-pptx
3. Apply consistent styling
4. Insert placeholder images (replace with your own)

pip install python-pptx Pillow requests
python presentation_builder.py output.md --style corporate

Limitations

• Cannot generate actual images (provides prompts instead)
• Stock photo suggestions require manual download
• Complex animations not supported
• Custom fonts require manual setup
• Charts are described, not generated (use Excel/Python separately)

Tips for Best Results

1. Be specific about audience: "Marketing managers at tech startups" > "Business people"
2. Include key points: Mention must-have content upfront
3. Specify data: If you have stats, include them in the request
4. Brand guidelines: Share colors and tone preferences
5. Examples: Reference presentations you like
