After AI generates the deck, refine it in plain language
The first AI draft is a starting point. Learn how to adjust titles, color, and layout with conversational instructions so the deck is more persuasive.
The first draft only lays out the structure
A finished generation is not a finished talk. First drafts tend to have flat titles, scattered points, and a few overcrowded slides. The second pass should make each slide carry one idea, not rebuild the whole deck.
List the slides that bother you and change one at a time. Editing ten slides in one instruction makes it hard to tell whether the prompt failed or the content did.
Name the target and the result
“Make it nicer” rarely lands. Ask for a change you can check on the slide: “Turn the title into a conclusion, under 12 words.” “Use a deep blue background and white body text.” “Keep three bullets and delete the explanatory paragraph.”
Separate copy, color, and layout. One instruction, one change. If the result is wrong, you can follow up with a single correction.
Redraw the page, or edit one region
If the tone and structure of a slide are both wrong, rewrite that page in plain language. If only the title, a chart, or one text block is wrong, use region edit: select that area, describe the replacement, and leave the rest of the layout alone.
Region edit works for numbers, chart type, and shortening a paragraph. Don’t ask one selection to change the background, the type, and the full text. That turns a local edit into a full redraw.
Know when to stop
Stop when the title summarizes the slide, a listener can find the point in a few seconds, and the style matches the slides around it. Further edits usually swap wording without making the talk clearer.
Read through once more, then export. If you plan to say a sentence out loud, make sure it is written on the slide and not only in your notes.
