Your entry into AI-powered presentation creation

The biggest hurdle is often the blank first slide. InnoGPT helps you overcome that block in minutes by delivering concrete suggestions right away. Even "presentation-averse" people can produce impressive results.

How InnoGPT helps you immediately:

Your strategic roadmap to the perfect presentation

Let's be honest: a truly convincing presentation doesn't come from fancy designs, but from crystal-clear strategy. So before you get lost in slide layouts, let's walk through a battle-tested workflow that will get you to the finish line safely and efficiently.

1) Define the presentation goal – razor-sharp!

The most important question always comes first: What exactly do you want to achieve with this presentation? Without a clear goal, even the smartest AI is like a navigation system with no destination entered.

What could your goal be?

• Persuade: You want to win over investors for your brilliant business idea.
• Inform: You need to deliver the latest quarterly numbers with crystal clarity.
• Train: You need to explain a new piece of software to your team in an accessible way.

A crystal-clear goal is the absolute foundation for a prompt that hits the bullseye. Only when you know exactly where the journey is headed can the AI show you the best route.

2) Analyze the audience: who's actually sitting in front of you?

Just as decisive as the "what" is the "for whom." A pitch to prospective customers needs a completely different language and line of argument than an internal update among colleagues.

Ask yourself these questions:

• How deep are these people already into the topic?
• What drives them? What are their interests, their needs, their biggest pain points?
• What vibe do they expect? Bone-dry and formal, loose and breezy, or more emotional?

3) Develop the structure with InnoGPT

And now comes the magic moment! Your digital ghostwriter takes the stage. Armed with your knowledge of goal and audience, you now feed the AI.

Here's what a prompt for a sales pitch might look like: Create an outline for a punchy 10-slide presentation. My goal: convince a mid-sized mechanical engineering company to buy our new logistics software. The audience is the managing director – they barely have any time and only want to know how to become more efficient and save costs. The tone must be professional, confident, and fully focused on the solution.

4) Generate content

The outline is in place? Perfect! Now it's time to get down to business. Have the AI draft key messages, punchy slide titles, and even detailed speaker notes.

5) Refinement and personalization

The best presentations happen when you take that rough draft and add your personal touch. Insert company-specific data, tell a short, relevant anecdote, or build in a surprising detail. The AI is a brilliant assistant, but you remain the expert.

Willingness to let AI help with such tasks is going through the roof. In Germany, 67 percent of people aged 16 and up have already tried generative AI systems like ChatGPT and similar at least once. You can find more on the adoption of AI applications in Germany at Statista. This enormous acceptance shows how normal it's become to let AI smartly support you in daily work.

Finding the right prompts for every occasion

Hand on heart: a convincing sales pitch needs a completely different dramaturgy than a rock-solid, fact-based project report. And this is exactly where your digital ghostwriter InnoGPT becomes a secret weapon! With the right instruction, it adapts the tone, structure, and line of argument perfectly to each occasion.

No more one-size-fits-all – let's dive straight into practice and forge tailor-made prompts for the most common presentation types.

The persuasive sales pitch

Here you're not selling features, but solutions to your customers' real problems.

Sample prompt for a sales pitch: I need a gripping outline for a 15-minute sales pitch. The target group is the marketing leadership of a mid-sized e-commerce company, and I want to sell our new AI analytics software "InsightFinder." Start with the biggest pain point: inaccurate customer segmentation. Then position our software as the ultimate solution and highlight three irresistible benefits. End with a clear call to action.

The crystal-clear project report

Here, facts, progress, and absolute transparency take center stage.

Sample prompt for a project report: Please create the structure for a presentation on the status of the "Website Relaunch Q3" project. The target group is the internal project team and management. The presentation must clearly communicate the most important milestones of the last four weeks, current KPIs (load time, visitor numbers), and the next steps. Include a slot for "Challenges & Solutions." The tone should be factual and transparent.

The informative team update or quarterly presentation

This is about efficiency and clear communication of the most important news.

Sample prompt for a team update: Sketch a short outline for our weekly team update. Focus: 1) Most important wins from last week, 2) Current priorities for this week, 3) Open questions. The tone should be motivating and on point.

The motivating internal training session

In a training, you don't just want to convey knowledge – you also want to spark enthusiasm.

Sample prompt for a training presentation: Sketch an outline for a 45-minute training session for our sales team on the new CRM software. Structure it logically as: 1. "Why this change makes all our lives easier," 2. "The 5 most important new features in detail," 3. "Q&A." The tone should be motivating, accessible, and practical.

The ability to give such precise instructions is the be-all and end-all of effective AI use. If you'd like to dive deeper into the art of prompting, you'll find plenty more tips in our guide to ChatGPT prompts in German.

The trend is unstoppable: in Germany, 36 percent of companies already use artificial intelligence. You can find out more in the Bitkom study on the breakthrough of artificial intelligence in German companies.

Avoid common pitfalls – here's how to do it right!

Your digital presentation assistant is brilliant, but it can't read minds. The most common mistake? Short, lazy instructions. A prompt like "Create a presentation about marketing" is like saying in a restaurant: "Bring me something to eat."

Vague instructions are the enemy of brilliance

The more context you provide, the more precisely tailored the result.

• Don't do this: Make a deck about our new software update.
• Do this instead: Create a punchy 5-slide presentation for our existing customers. Goal: clearly convey the 3 most important benefits of the new update (time savings, new analytics feature, improved security). The tone should be exciting and focused on customer value.

The AI draft is the starting gun, not the finish line

A huge mistake: treating the AI's first draft as a finished product. See the generated content as first-class raw material.

The AI output is the perfect starting point, but never the end point. Only your personal expertise, company-specific data, and a good pinch of your own personality make the presentation truly unique.

Grab the suggestions and put your stamp on them:

• Sprinkle in hard numbers from your last quarterly report.
• Tell a short, personal story that brings a point to life.
• Adapt the wording to the language spoken in your company.

Never underestimate the power of refinement

Don't be afraid to talk things through with the AI. If a bullet point in the outline feels too fuzzy, tell the AI!

An example of a refinement round: Thanks for the outline. Point 3 is still too general. Please sharpen it more toward the cost-saving aspect for small businesses.

This process of prompting and refining is worth its weight in gold. Targeted AI use has long been part of daily life – in Germany the most common applications are in healthcare (14.5%) and finance (14.0%).

How to skillfully bring your InnoGPT ideas into PowerPoint

OK, you've really put InnoGPT to work and dug up a goldmine of ideas, a pristine outline, and perfectly crafted texts – fantastic! Now comes the exciting part: how do you turn this digital treasure into a presentation that blows your audience away?

Pick the right AI model in InnoGPT for each task

No AI model is a universal genius. Use the various models in the platform deliberately for their strengths.

• For logic and the big picture: Is it about the outline and the narrative thread? Then models like GPT-4 or Claude 3 Opus are your best friends. Their strength is structured thinking.
• For the creative spark and the perfect words: Need headlines that immediately grab the eye? This is where models like Gemini shine. They're often more linguistically playful and find the right words to captivate your audience.

My pro tip: Use a logic-strong model for the framework. Then take individual points and have a more creative model furnish them with punchy text and headlines.

The seamless transition to your PowerPoint slides

As soon as your content in InnoGPT is ready, the move to PowerPoint begins.

• The outline becomes the slide structure: Use the outline view in PowerPoint. You can insert the main and sub-points from InnoGPT directly as slide titles and subtitles.
• Place text blocks cleverly: Copy the text sections drafted by the AI. But be careful: don't slap the text onto the slides as a wall of words! Think of it as raw material for short, concise bullet points.
• Speaker notes – your secret weapon: Let InnoGPT generate detailed speaker notes for every slide. Copy these one-to-one into the notes field below the slides. That way you have all the details at hand without overloading your slides.

You ask, we answer: everything you need to know about AI presentations

You're all fired up to build your first presentation with AI support, but a few question marks are still floating above your head? Wonderful! Let's clear up the last uncertainties.

Do I need my own company data to create a presentation with InnoGPT?

No, and that's perhaps the best news of all! You can get started immediately without having to upload a single internal file. That's exactly the beauty of the generative AI used here. You describe your intent in simple words, and the AI uses its gigantic general knowledge to forge fitting content from it.

How do I avoid the AI producing nothing but shallow waffle?

The quality of the result stands or falls with the quality of your prompt. To avoid generic platitudes at the end, you have to be as concrete as possible:

• Give context: What is it really about?
• Describe your audience: Who's sitting in front of you?
• Set the tone: Professional, casual, or motivational?

Remember: The more precise your instructions, the more unique the result.

Does the AI also handle the entire slide design in PowerPoint?

Here it's important to clearly separate the tasks. Text-based AI tools like InnoGPT are geniuses when it comes to content.

What does that mean specifically? You get:

• A logical, coherent outline.
• Fully written texts for every slide.
• Convincing arguments and punchy key messages.
• Detailed speaker notes.

The visual finish – layout, colors, fonts – you then handle directly in PowerPoint. InnoGPT gives you the perfect engine; you design the bodywork yourself.
