Steps

Step 1: Define Presentation Goals

Clearly define the purpose and audience of the presentation.

I need to prepare a presentation:
Topic: New Product Feature Introduction
Audience: Company executives and sales team
Duration: 20 minutes (15 minutes presentation + 5 minutes Q&A)
Goal: Get approval for product promotion budget
Please help me plan the presentation structure

Step 2: Generate Presentation Outline

Create a logically clear content framework.

Please generate a presentation outline:
Include:
- Title for each slide
- Core message for each slide (2-3 points)
- Suggested visual elements (charts, images, icons)
- Logical connections between slides
- Estimated speaking time per slide
Follow the structure: Opening - Problem - Solution - Value - Call to Action

Step 3: Expand Content Points

Generate detailed content for each slide.

For slide 5 "Product Core Features", please provide:
1. Three main feature points
2. Brief description of each feature (one sentence)
3. Specific problem each feature solves
4. Competitive advantages compared to rivals
5. Speaker script (conversational, under 100 words)
6. Suggested visual elements (icons, screenshots, animations)

Step 4: Prepare Data Support

Identify needed data and charts.

Analyze the outline, please list the data materials needed:
- Required statistics (e.g., market size, user growth)
- Chart types needed (bar charts, pie charts, trend lines)
- Case studies or customer testimonials needed
- Product screenshots or demo videos needed
Provide data source suggestions for each data point

Step 5: Generate Speaker Notes

Create a complete speaking script.

Based on the outline, please generate a complete speaker script: ~/presentation/script.md
Format:
# Slide 1: Opening
[Display content: Company logo + presentation topic]
Speaker notes:
"Hello everyone, I'm delighted to introduce..."
[Pause, scan the audience]
"In the next 15 minutes, I will show you..."

Add for each key point:
- [Gesture]
- [Pause]
- [Emphasis]
- [Transition to next slide]
and other presentation technique prompts

Warning: Don't overload your presentation content. Each slide should convey only one core idea - details can be supplemented verbally or placed in notes.

Tip: Use the "Pyramid Principle": state the conclusion first, then supporting arguments. Tell the audience the most important information at the beginning - avoid lengthy build-ups that cause audiences to lose interest.

Common Questions

Q: How many slides for a 20-minute presentation? A: Generally 1-2 minutes per slide, so 10-15 slides is appropriate. Too many slides will feel rushed, too few will seem thin on content. The key is appropriate pacing.

Q: How to make technical presentations more engaging for non-technical audiences? A: Focus less on technical implementation, more on user value. Use metaphors and analogies, avoid jargon. Show actual results rather than code. Tell stories, not parameters.

Q: How to handle Q&A during presentations? A: Prepare a list of common questions and answers. Add an "Expected Questions" slide at the end of your script. If a question is complex, say "That's a great question, let's discuss it in detail afterwards."
