Your workshop slides, in minutes.

Turn your talk outline into a designed slide deck in your brand colours, as a PowerPoint file you can edit. Claude builds it from one prompt.

Takes
20 minutes
Needs
A Claude account and the outline of your talk
Costs
Nothing beyond your Claude plan

You already know what you’re going to say. In 20 minutes Claude turns your sections into a clean, on-brand deck, one idea per slide, ready to open in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides.

What you’ll need.

Get these set up first. Everything below uses them.

Some of these are affiliate links. If you sign up through one, I may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. See every tool I use.

01

Tell this page about your talk

Your answers write the prompts. They stay in your browser and nobody else sees them.

Rough is fine. The more of your own points you add, the less Claude has to leave blank.
Got your talk written down already? Attach your notes or script to the chat in step 3 as well. Claude pulls your wording from it.
02

Switch on file creation in Claude

This setting lets Claude make real PowerPoint files you can download. It works on every plan, including Free.

  1. Open claude.ai and go to Settings, then Capabilities.
  2. Turn on code execution and file creation.
  3. On a Team or Enterprise plan, it lives in Organization settings, then Capabilities, and is usually on already.
03

Paste your deck prompt

Claude shows you the slide list first. Fixing a list takes seconds; fixing a built deck takes longer.

  1. Start a new chat in Claude and attach your logo and any notes.
  2. Copy your prompt below, paste it in and send it.
  3. Read the slide list. Ask for changes until the order feels right.
  4. Type "Build it".
Your deck prompt
Make the slides for my live talk as a PowerPoint (.pptx) file.

THE TALK
- Title: [TALK TITLE]
- Length: 30 minutes
- My sections, in order:
[YOUR SECTIONS ONE PER LINE WITH THE MAIN POINTS UNDER EACH]

1. PLAN FIRST
Show me a numbered slide list before you build anything: the slide title and the one point it makes, grouped under my sections. Tell me how many slides it comes to. Then wait for me to type "Build it".

2. THE DESIGN
- 16:9, made to be read on a shared screen from across a room.
- A title slide, then a divider slide at the start of each section.
- One idea per slide. Big text, short lines, plenty of space.
- The same layout, fonts and colours on every slide.
- Put a simple icon, diagram or shape where it helps a point land. No stock-photo filler.

3. THE WORDS
- Use only the points and wording I've given you.
- Where a slide needs something I haven't given you, like an example, a number or a story, put a highlighted box that says "[ADD: ...]" and what goes there. Never make it up.
- Leave the speaker notes empty.

4. WHEN IT'S BUILT
Give me the .pptx file to download, then list every [ADD] box by slide number.
You’ll get a .pptx file to download, plus a list of every [ADD] box to fill in.
04

Fix it in the chat

Same chat, plain words. Claude rebuilds the file with each change.

Things you can type
Make slide 6 two slides. It has too much on it.
Move the section 3 divider before slide 14.
Use a darker background on every divider slide.
Swap the icon on slide 9 for a simple three-step diagram.
Make all body text at least 28pt.

For small word changes, it’s quicker to open the file in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides and type them in yourself.

On Pro, Max or Team? Claude Slides is in beta on paid plans. Choose it from Output in the message box, edit any slide directly, present from Claude, and export to PowerPoint or PDF.

Or: try Gamma for a more designed look

Gamma builds decks with layouts, diagrams and images, and exports to PowerPoint.

  1. Sign in to Gamma and paste the prompt below into the prompt bar on your dashboard.
  2. Answer its questions about your audience and style, or tap "Decide for me".
  3. Check the plan it shows you, then let it build.
  4. To download, click Share or the three-dot menu, choose Export, then PowerPoint or PDF.
Your Gamma prompt
A presentation for my live talk, "[TALK TITLE]" (30 minutes).
16:9, made to be read on a shared screen. One idea per slide, big text, a divider slide for each section.
Use only my wording below. Where a slide needs an example or number I haven't given, write "[ADD: ...]" instead of making one up.

My sections, in order:
[YOUR SECTIONS ONE PER LINE WITH THE MAIN POINTS UNDER EACH]
Free plan exports. Files exported on Gamma’s free plan carry a "Made by Gamma" badge. Paid plans remove it.
06

Run through it once on your real screen

Slides that look fine on your laptop can be hard to read when shared on a call.

  1. Fill every [ADD] box with your own example, number or story.
  2. Open the file in the app you’ll present from and click through every slide.
  3. Share your screen on a test call and check the smallest text is easy to read.
If you can read every slide on a test call, your deck is ready.
07

Take your downloads

Tick what you want. Each file is written from your answers in step 1.

Your tools, one more time.

If something goes wrong.

Claude wrote out the answer instead of giving me a file

Check that code execution and file creation is on in Settings, then Capabilities. Then type: "Give me this as a .pptx file to download."

My fonts look different when I open the file

The font isn’t installed on that computer, so the app swaps in another one. Install the font, or type: "Use a font that comes with PowerPoint instead."

There’s too much text on the slides

Type: "Cut every slide to one point and no more than 12 words. Split anything longer into two slides."

Claude added an example I never gave it

Type: "Replace anything I didn’t give you with an [ADD] box. List them by slide."

I want it in Google Slides

Upload the .pptx file to Google Drive and open it with Google Slides.

What’s next

Slides ready. Now see how I sell.

Your deck is built and on brand. In my free live workshop I show you how I use Claude to sell my digital products and bring in customers every day.
