If I've included an existing deck or template, match its structure, visual style, and branding. Keep text and charts editable where possible, use visuals when they make the point clearer, and check the finished slides for layout or formatting issues. Return the completed presentation and briefly flag anything that needs my review. suggestedModel: gpt-6-astra suggestedEffort: medium relatedLinks:

Before you start
Start with the material you already have: notes, a memo, research, a spreadsheet, or an existing presentation. Tell ChatGPT who the deck is for, what it needs to communicate, and what should stay unchanged.
In the ChatGPT desktop app, use @Presentations to create or edit a PowerPoint file or build a new presentation from your source material. Connect Google Drive when you want to create or update native Google Slides or reference files stored in Google Workspace. You can also attach local files directly.
To work inside an open PowerPoint presentation, use the ChatGPT for PowerPoint add-in. Available plugins, skills, and connected sources can vary by plan and workspace.
Add @Presentations to your prompt to find saved presentation templates in
the Template Gallery. If you don't have a template, Presentations can start
from a built-in layout or follow an existing deck.
What to expect
ChatGPT turns the source material into a short slide plan, builds the presentation, and checks the rendered slides before returning the deck. It can follow a reference presentation or saved template, preserve approved figures and branding, and flag claims that need a source.
Here is what that conversation can look like:
ChatGPT reviewed the Frontier Builders strategy brief and review notes, created a six-slide presentation for Monday's leadership review, generated a visual opener, and checked the slides for layout issues.
After a request to make the opener more visual and shorten the decision slide, it refined the deck and returned the updated presentation.
Review the final slides, not only the outline. Check that the story fits the audience, the claims and numbers match the source material, and the slides are readable. Duplicate important decks before making large changes so you can revert if needed.
Make it work for you
Use follow-on prompts to match a reference, adapt the story, bring in new information, or save a format you expect to use again.
Save the format as a reusable template
Prompt:
Use $template-creator:template-creator to turn this presentation into a reusable template.
Preserve the slide layouts, typography, colors, and brand elements so I can use this format for future [updates, reviews, or presentations].
Match an existing presentation
Prompt:
Use @Presentations to revise this deck to match [reference presentation].
Preserve the reference layouts, typography, colors, logos, and section structure. Keep the current content and approved figures, and flag anything that doesn't fit cleanly.
Adapt the deck for a different audience
Prompt:
Revise this presentation for [audience].
Make the recommendation, supporting evidence, and next steps clear for them. Remove unnecessary detail, keep important figures intact, and preserve the existing style.
Update the deck with new information
Prompt:
Update this presentation using [new notes, spreadsheet, document, or connected source].
Identify which slides need to change, update the relevant claims and visuals, and leave unrelated slides untouched.
Template Creator saves a personal template backed by the original presentation, so you can reuse the same format in a future task. Template matching and advanced chart, shape, formatting, or slide-management edits can still need manual refinement. Confirm the final layout and claims before sharing.
