Write the story of the deck before the slides

Gemini writes the narrative of a deck from the decision you need, before anyone opens a slide tool.

·Writing·20 min·Working

A sequence of beats: the decision, the tension, the evidence, the ask. No slide chrome.

  1. 1

    Write the decision first

    If the decision sentence is fuzzy, fix it before you generate beats.

  2. 2

    Mark the gaps

    A beat marked as a gap stays a gap. Do not let a later edit smooth it over.

  3. 3

    Then open the slide tool

    One beat can become one slide. Add visuals only after the order holds.

The prompt to paste

Write the narrative for a short deck. Do not design slides. Do not mention layouts, colors, or fonts.

Decision the room must make: [one sentence]
Audience: [who is in the room]
What they already believe: [one sentence]
Evidence I actually have: [bullets]
The ask: [what we want them to do]

Return eight beats in order. Each beat is two sentences: what we say, and why it has to come before the next beat. If my evidence does not support a beat, mark that beat as a gap instead of filling it with a plausible fact.

Narrative is not evidence. The bullets you provided are the only facts allowed in.
