AI Presentation Design Revision
Build Slide Decks That Would Take a Designer Hours
Framework: Three-Step Workflow (Describe → Choose → Generate) + Six Commandments
The core idea
AI presentation tools (the eBook recommends Gamma for beginners) follow a simple Three-Step Workflow: Describe your topic, audience, and structure; Choose the best generated draft or theme; Generate the full deck. The Paste-to-Presentation hack — pasting an existing document straight in — turns reports or notes into a deck almost instantly, but any statistics, dates, or figures the AI pulls into a slide must be verified against the source before you present.
The Six Commandments are the quality bar for every slide: keep body text under roughly 30 words, and make sure the final slide answers "what next?" with a clear, specific action rather than a generic thank-you. Auditing your own generated slides against all six is the fastest way to catch AI-generated decks that look good but say too little.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Presenting a Paste-to-Presentation deck without checking any of the figures it auto-extracted
- Leaving slide body text dense and paragraph-heavy instead of trimming to the ~30-word guideline
- Ending a deck with a generic thank-you slide instead of a specific next action
- Keeping every AI-generated stock image instead of swapping in your own relevant visuals
Before the exam, make sure you can...
- Name the Three-Step Workflow in order
- Explain what must always be verified after using the Paste-to-Presentation hack
- Know the Six Commandments' body-text word guideline and what the final slide should do
- Recall the Day 5 assignment's export requirements (PDF + PowerPoint, 8+ slides)
