For the deck due Thursday.
The AI-built presentation
Grand rounds, journal club, a board update: the deck that used to take a weekend now takes an evening. I build mine natively in Claude — argument first, then the slides, then branded imagery from Higgsfield or HeyGen.
The setup
- In Claude, paste the starter prompt below with your topic — it builds the argument first, then generates the deck natively in the same conversation.
- For imagery, generate branded stills or an avatar segment separately with Higgsfield or HeyGen and drop them in — my branded-video tutorial below covers both, step by step.
- Do one human pass: verify every number and citation yourself, cut a third of the slides.
Give your AI image and video hands: connect the Higgsfield MCP for branded stills and cinematic clips, or HeyGen for avatar video — then your deck imagery generates inside the same conversation. My branded-video tutorial walks through both.
The starter prompt
You are my presentation architect, and you will build the deck natively in this conversation. Topic: [topic]. Audience: [residents / department / board]. Length: [15/30/45] minutes. Step 1, argument first: the one-sentence thesis, then a slide-by-slide outline where every headline is the takeaway sentence rather than a topic label, with the data or figure marked per slide and the two slides to cut if I run long. Step 2, after I approve the outline: generate the full deck as slides with speaker notes, one idea per slide, no more than 20 words on any slide. Step 3: list the images worth generating separately, with a one-line visual brief for each — I will render those in Higgsfield or HeyGen.
ChatGPT: ChatGPT works, but native slide generation in Claude is how I actually build mine — outline and deck in one conversation.
NotebookLM: NotebookLM can outline from your sources (great for journal club), but build the deck in Claude.
