Don’t do what you think you should do and just write this prompt - “Write me a pitch deck for my company that is called Blabla that sells blabla.”
Don’t do what you think is smarter and go with a more complex 1 page prompt about what your business does.

It’s not about the prompt. It’s about the concept of writing a pitch deck with AI.

PS. If you’re a paid subscriber, and interested in a new pitch deck (ai + human) service me and my team are offering, check out the end of this article.

Think of all those AI models (GPT, Claude, Gemini, etc) as a smart person. Now imagine if this person was asked by 10,000 people to write a pitch deck for their companies.

Yes, that smart person will catch the tone of each and every company.
But put all those decks next to each other, you’ll find something similar. The feel of these decks will be similar. Some wording, some structure, something will be the same in all of them.

Now when you ask GPT, whether in a sophisticated way or not, to write a deck for you, you’re bound to receiving a mediocre investor presentation.

Oh, if you’re a visual learner, I’ve recorded a YouTube video with the right technique to actually build such a deck with AI.

Structuring

GPT can create a structure for you. But it doesn’t know what you know. In this particular case, what you know is who’ll be reading this presentation.

Every reader requires a specific narrative. It’s like you’re directing a movie and hoping it’s as great as Avatar. But even that movie has people who don’t like it. We’re humans and we have different tastes. Some will like your presentation, others won’t.

What’s important to you is your reader (that investor or company). Your job is to create a structure specifically for them.

In this phase, using GPT to brainstorm could help, but it’s your job, not GPT’s.

Here’s a guide I wrote about storyboarding/structuring.

Use GPT, Gemini, or Claude here as if they were an additional person you’re speaking to.

Questioning

You’ll have questions.
You’ll forget things.

It’s normal. What you ought to do is to create a Claude project. Then drop all your old files there. It’s going to spare you time. When you don’t remember a number, Claude could fetch it from all your documents.

This is a truly strong feat of AI — data analysis and organization.

Visuals

I often recommend pitch decks to be without visuals unless they’re absolutely necessary. If your deck is about a semiconductor chip - put the actual image of that. You do not have to put a picture of a random person walking in the street.

Yet, sometimes your brand needs that. I know some clients in the hospitality industry that an image would actually make a difference in their deck.

For that, I advise the using of Sora or GPT’s image generator (I actually have a tool for that launching soon).

I don’t usually advise that clients would create ultra realistic images - it often looks better if it’s artistic sketches or so. Readers don’t have that much of a problem with art being generated from AI as much as humans generated from AI.

Writing

Then it’s time to write slide by slide. You’ll need to follow your storyboard/structure and slowly write. Do not rush it whatsoever. Researching is quite smart with GPT if you indicate your sources (for example, Mckinsey, Deloitte, etc.)

Write a slide, perfect it, move on to the next one. That’s the right way of using AI to write pitch decks.

The AI-Human Pitch Deck Review Service.
I’m launching something new on beta. A human review of a pitch deck with specific prompts tailored to the startup to write the proper pitch deck. If you’re a paid subscriber, you can get a 50% discount ($150-$250) as it’s a novel product.
