Translated from Korean. View original. Some screenshots are available in Korean only.
Give Claude the purpose of a presentation and source material to help draft an outline and slides. Environments that support file creation may also produce an editable PPTX. Define the audience and conclusion, review the title sequence, then check the numbers and actual slides.

Start with an outline and slide drafts
Presentation outlines, initial wording and repeated formatting are useful starting tasks. If you need a PPTX file, first check whether your environment supports file creation.
Review the finished file against your purpose. Ask AI to suggest a flow, then check the conclusion, evidence and action you want the audience to take.
- Outline and draft slide text
- Repeat formatting across slides
- Align tables and lists
- Produce an editable slide file
- Decide what to persuade the audience of
- Set the slide order
- Compare numbers with the source
- Choose slides to remove
Define the audience and desired conclusion
In one sentence, say who will listen and what decision they need to make. Include the presentation length and approximate number of slides to help set the scope.
Ask for a list of slide titles before the body. Check for missing evidence or repetition, then draft each slide to reduce major rework.
Provide your template and design rules
Share a company template if you have one. Include font sizes, accent colors, margins and logo placement to keep slides consistent.
Without a template, you can begin with a short design document. After creating the file, inspect the actual slides for changed Korean fonts or overflowing text.
Use the original tables and numbers
Provide the source table and ask it to use only values from that material. Leave unavailable values blank or mark them as unavailable, and include sources on slides or in speaker notes.
Compare key numbers, totals, units and periods with the source. For charts, check whether axis ranges and legends change the meaning of the data.
Read the beginning, ending and transitions
Check that the first slide makes the purpose clear and the last states the next action. Reading titles in order should reveal a flow toward the conclusion.
Rehearse aloud and cut repetition or overly long slides. If time is short, keep the evidence needed to understand the main conclusion.
Save a recurring reporting workflow as a skill
For similar monthly reports, write the slide structure, required material, design rules and review items in SKILL.md. Next time, change the period and source material and request the same workflow.
When sharing it, include example output and the file-generation tools required. If a report omits something, check why and improve the procedure.

Frequently asked questions
How much of a presentation can Claude automate?
It can help with outlines, draft slide text and repeated formatting. If you need PPTX, check that your environment supports file creation. Review the finished file’s purpose, flow, numbers and actual appearance.
What should I decide before requesting a presentation?
Specify the audience, decision, presentation length and approximate slide count. Review slide titles for missing evidence and repetition before filling in the body.
Can I trust tables and numbers in an AI-generated presentation?
Ask it to use only source values, then check key figures, totals, units and periods. Cite sources on slides or in notes, mark unavailable values, and inspect chart axes and legends.
