Turn notes into slides

Already have notes, a report or an outline? Don’t start from scratch: let your assistant turn what you wrote into slides.

With your assistant

1. Open New in the studio and write in the topic box: “Turn my notes below into a presentation”.
2. Copy the prompt into your assistant and paste your notes under it.
3. Paste the answer back into the studio.

Without an assistant

Presenter Cue reads a plain outline too. Paste text like this into the answer box:

# My talk title
## First slide title
- A point
- Another point
Notes: what I’ll say here

## Second slide title
- A point

Each heading becomes a slide, each bullet a point, and lines starting with Notes: become speaker notes. Change layouts afterwards in the side panel.

What counts as notes

Almost anything you have already written works as a starting point: meeting notes, a document outline, an essay, a report summary, bullet points from a phone note, or a transcript. The cleaner the structure (headings, then points), the closer the slides follow it.

Writing notes that become good slides

• Use headings for each part. Each heading tends to become a slide or a section.
• Put numbers next to what they measure: “Signups: 1,200 in May, 1,900 in June” becomes a chart; “1,200 and 1,900” doesn’t.
• Mark dates for anything in order; it becomes a timeline.
• Say what you want the audience to do at the end; it becomes the closing slide.

Without an assistant: the outline format

Presenter Cue reads a plain outline directly. Paste text shaped like this into the paste box and it becomes slides:

# Quarterly update
## What went well
- Signups up 58%
- Churn down to 3%
## What didn't
- Mobile app delayed to August
## Next quarter
- Launch the app
- Hire two engineers

The first line becomes the title slide, each ## heading a slide, and each - line a bullet. Change any slide’s layout afterwards in the side panel.

Long documents

For a report of many pages, don’t paste the whole thing into an assistant and hope. Pick the five or six points the audience needs, paste those with their figures, and ask for a deck of that length. The report stays the reference; the slides tell the story.
