About this course

This course teaches you to build presentations with AI that actually persuade, not just look tidy. It addresses a common failure mode: slides get generated beautifully while the story falls apart — the message gets lost across forty bullet points, and the speaker isn't ready for questions from the room.

The course moves from the logline and the deck's story arc — problem, evidence, solution, ask — through text-only storyboarding and the "one message per slide" rule, to visual style and slide generators. In "The Slide as a Unit" you rework 6-8 slides from your own deck, and the final project takes a real presentation to "ready to present tomorrow," complete with speaker notes and prepared answers to likely questions.

It suits anyone who regularly builds presentations — for clients, investors, a team, or reports — and wants to spend fewer hours on them without losing persuasiveness. You just need a real presentation to work on; no design or public-speaking background is required.

What you'll learn

  • Write a logline and define the goal before touching any slides
  • Build a deck's story using the "problem — evidence — solution — ask" structure
  • Storyboard a presentation in text before opening a slide editor
  • Cut text down to one clear message per slide
  • Use AI as a structure critic, not just a slide generator
  • Write a style prompt and keep a consistent visual style across a deck
  • Write speaker notes and rehearse a talk with AI
  • Prepare answers to likely audience questions ahead of time

What you'll end up with

  • A full scenario for one real presentation, ready to hand off to design
  • A reworked slide section with a "before — after" comparison table
  • A visual system for a deck — style prompt, palette, graphics type
  • A presentation-ready deck with speaker notes and prepared Q&A answers

This course isn't for people who just want ready-made slide templates — the focus is on story and structure first, not decoration.
