Want a Week a Month Back? I Automated AI for PowerPoint with These 16 Prompts

AI solved PowerPoint this week, but mostly we slept on it.

Why? Because prompting for powerpoint is THE hardest skill out there in AI.

Harder than for docs. Harder than code. Harder than Excel.

That’s because your prompt has to do at least three jobs at once:

1. Explain how to tell a story

2. Set up the data for the story

3. Explain the visuals

And you have to do all that with an LLM that cannot “see” the way we see. So it’s designing blind. Good luck!

So how did PowerPoint get solved this week?

Honestly, with a lot of token burn. Basically, Claude Sonnet 4.5 revs the engines and goes real hard and checks and re-checks with some obsessive spacing skills (I get into the details in the video).

Is it just Sonnet 4.5 that can do this stuff? Nope. Opus 4.1 is pretty good. And these prompts even help ChatGPT-5. I’m not gonna pretend ChatGPT is my favorite model for PowerPoint, but the principles scale.

And that brings me to the prompts—what have we got in the box here? Put simply I’m looking to build the prompt pack that really saves you days of work a month. I looked it up: we spend about a day a week on average on decks. Some more, some less (lucky engineers).

Well, we don’t have to anymore! I picked the prompts that take out a massive chunk of that work—and I explain how they work.

You get:

• A deep-dive video explaining WHY prompting is hard and HOW to make AI prompt PowerPoint right

• An explanation of the five principles of PowerPoint prompting that will work for ANY AI (not just Claude)—it’s basically a PowerPoint construction system

• A bad prompt breakdown (yes I’m sharing a failed prompt for the first time!)

• A good prompt breakdown (how I fixed that prompt)

• 16 production grade PowerPoint prompts

  • 4 Foundation Prompts designed to help you teach AI your PowerPoint style

  • 12 production prompts for Marketing, Product, Ops, Executive, and the Board

• Handy tips on the hard stuff: how to work your own designs in, where to chunk work, how to handle longer board decks, how to force prompt fidelity, etc.

Basically you get everything you need to get you and your team going with PowerPoint for AI. And I built it so it’s immediately useful (especially with Claude), but will become more useful as AI deck intelligence scales out.

In a couple of months, everyone will be wrestling with this stuff. And you’re gonna have the answers. This is how to tackle the hardest prompt problem out there.

Jump in, have fun, and enjoy your get out of jail free card for PowerPoint hell!
