How to make a presentation with AI, from topic to PowerPoint file

From topic to a slide-by-slide outline

First decide who is listening, how long you have and the one idea to remember. A rough guide is one slide per minute: about 10 slides for seven to ten minutes, 15 for longer. Put it all in the request: “Make a 10-slide outline for an 8-minute presentation for 9th graders on ‘AI in everyday life: three examples and one risk’: one idea per slide, a title and three short points each, sources on the last slide.”

That title is narrow on purpose: “artificial intelligence” alone is far too big for ten slides. Working from notes or a PDF? Paste or attach it and ask for slides built only from it. For 15 slides, add examples or a chart, not more text. A skeleton that suits most school topics:

1. Slide 1: title, your name, class or course, date.
2. Slide 2: why the topic matters, or one surprising fact with its source.
3. Slides 3 to 8: one main idea each, in a clear order (timeline, cause and effect, or problem and solution).
4. Slide 9: summary, the three things to remember.
5. Slide 10: sources, then “Questions?”.

Writing slide text people can read

Slides support your talk rather than replace it: nobody can read a paragraph and listen at the same time. Ask the AI to cut, not pad (“shorten each point to eight words”, “turn this paragraph into three bullets”), then read every slide aloud and rewrite what you cannot explain in your own words.

• Make the title the point: not “Venus” but “Venus is the hottest planet”.
• Three to five short points per slide: keywords, not sentences.
• Large text: Guy Kawasaki's 10/20/30 rule suggests 10 slides, 20 minutes and no font under 30 points.
• One font family and strong contrast, dark on light or light on dark.
• Check every number, date and quotation against a source: AI can state a wrong date confidently.

Pictures and design

Start from a built-in theme in PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote or LibreOffice Impress, with two or three colours and one layout throughout. Test your font first: some decorative fonts lack ə, ğ or Cyrillic letters and show empty boxes.

One large, clear picture beats four small ones. Most image-search results are copyrighted, so use:

• your own photos, diagrams and charts;
• free libraries such as Unsplash and Pexels, which allow use without asking (still read each licence);
• Wikimedia Commons, where each file has its own licence and many require crediting the author;
• AI-generated pictures to illustrate an idea, never to stand in for a real event, person, map or data; check the tool's terms.

Getting a ready PowerPoint file

Whatever tool made your .pptx, check that it opens in PowerPoint, Google Slides or Keynote, the letters look right, long points fit and the facts are true. If PowerPoint underlines every Azerbaijani or Russian word, change the proofing language (Review, then Language).

In OrujovAI, ask in /chat: “Make a 10-slide PowerPoint about the solar system for 7th graders, in Azerbaijani.” Document Studio builds a real .pptx file behind a download card, and can also make a PDF or Word handout. The file holds slide titles and bullet points on simple slides; you add pictures, design and notes yourself. Slide text is saved as ordinary editable text, so ə, ğ, ı, İ, ş and Cyrillic letters stay intact; just pick a font that has them.

For pictures, ask the same chat to “generate an image of the planets orbiting the Sun, flat illustration” and insert the download (Insert, then Pictures). Signed in, the Free plan gives 10 images a week with no card. Credit every picture on your last slide.

Speaker notes and rehearsing

Talk, don't read. Put what you will say in the Notes box under each slide; Presenter View shows it only to you. Ask the AI for “60 to 90 seconds of notes per slide, in plain spoken language”, then rewrite them in your own voice; in OrujovAI they arrive as chat text to paste in.

For the pace of a narrated slide lesson, play a free example in /tutor, where Live Tutor teaches a whole lesson as slides, out loud. Then rehearse:

1. Rehearse aloud with a timer at least twice; shorten slides that run long.
2. Ask the AI which questions a teacher might ask, and prepare the three hardest.
3. Learn your first and last sentences by heart.
4. Keep a PDF copy on a USB stick in case another computer lacks your fonts.

Presentations for a thesis defence or a lesson

A defence committee wants the problem, aim, method, results and conclusions, in little time. Your university and department set the time limit for the talk, so check it and plan about one slide per minute. A typical order: title, relevance, aim and tasks, methods, three to six results slides from your own tables and charts, conclusions, questions. AI can tighten wording and predict questions, but every figure must come from your own work.

Teachers' lesson slides follow another logic: objective, warm-up question, new material in small steps, worked example, class task, quick check, homework. AI drafts it; the teacher adapts it to the class.

Either way, use AI to learn, not to cheat: you are the one presenting, and if the rules require it, say how you used AI.
