PowerPoint
Build a deck that holds a room. Alias structures the argument, writes the slides and tells you honestly which ones to cut.
Structure before slides
It works out the argument first, so the deck has a spine instead of being a pile of bullet points.
Slides that are not walls of text
One idea per slide, with the detail moved into speaker notes where it actually belongs.
It will cut your deck
Ask for the ruthless version and Alias tells you which slides are doing no work at all.
How it works
- 01
Say who is in the room
Audience, time slot, and the decision you want at the end.
- 02
Get the outline
Agree the argument before any slide gets written.
- 03
Fill and rehearse
Slide copy plus speaker notes, then have Alias ask the hard questions.
Try asking
Build a twelve slide board deck arguing for this investment, with speaker notes.
Here is my deck. Cut it to eight slides and tell me what you removed and why.
What will the sceptic in the room ask me about slide four?
Questions
- Does it produce a real file?
- It produces the complete structure, slide copy and speaker notes ready to paste in, and can generate the imagery. Final formatting happens in your deck tool.
- Can it match our template?
- Tell it the slide types and constraints your template supports and it will write to them, including character limits.
- Can it help me rehearse?
- Yes. Ask it to play the hostile audience member and answer back, which is the fastest way to find the weak slide.
