Make the slide deck from an outline
A presentable six slide deck from your outline in a minute, then ten minutes making the words yours and adding the one slide that gets a decision. It will not know your numbers; use placeholders and fill them in after.
The tool
Gamma
A finished looking slide deck or one page site from an outline, in about a minute. The free plan is enough for this.
Give it the outline
copy, paste into Gamma, change the parts in [brackets]
Make a six slide deck for my team on [our new returns process]. One idea per slide, plain words, a title slide, and a last slide with the three things people need to remember. No stock photos.
What good looks like
Six slides you could present after fixing two lines. If it looks like a template, that is because it is. The words are what matter.
Fix the words, not the design
follow these in the app
Steps, not a prompt: click into each slide and read the text out loud. Delete any sentence you would not say. Keep the design as it is.
What good looks like
Six slides that sound like you. Gamma's design is fine; the words are what people remember.
Add the slide that matters
copy, paste into Gamma, change the parts in [brackets]
Add a slide before the last one titled "What I need from you" with three bullet points: [the decision], [the date], [who owns it].
What good looks like
A deck that ends with an ask. Most decks do not, which is why nothing happens after them.
Watch out
Do not put confidential numbers into a tool your employer has not approved. Use placeholders and fill them in after.
Now with your own thing. Same steps. The one on the fridge counts.
