Prepare a confident talk or presentation
A clear outline for a school or work presentation, speaker notes and a practice session where AI asks you the tough questions.
When to use it
A week before you present
Step by step
Gather your material
Collect the brief, time limit, audience and your rough ideas or research.
Build the outline
Paste your material into your AI assistant with this prompt.
Prompt to copyHelp me plan a [length]-minute presentation on [topic] for [audience]. My main points and research: [paste]. Create an outline with: an opening hook, 3 main sections with the key point and one example each, a short conclusion, and timing for each part. Then write brief speaker notes for each section in bullet points, not a full script, using my own points. Suggest what to put on each slide in 10 words or fewer.Write it in your voice
Copy the outline into Google Docs or Word and rewrite the notes so they sound like you.
Rehearse with questions
Ask the AI: 'Now be my audience. Ask me 5 challenging questions one at a time about this talk, then give feedback on my answers.' Answer out loud if you can, using voice mode.
What you get
Hook (30s): 'Every year our town throws away the weight of 40 buses in food.' Section 1 (1.5 min): Where food waste happens. Example: supermarket best-before dates. Slide: 'Most waste happens at home'. Likely question: 'Isn't this the supermarkets' fault?'
Tips
- Practising answers out loud is the best cure for nerves.
- Check any statistics the AI suggests against a reliable source before you use them.
