How to make slides with Claude:
1. Task
☑ Define what you want & what success looks like:
"I want to build a pptx presentation so that [SUCCESS CRITERIA]."
No "make me a deck about X."
↳ That's how you get 10 slides of nothing.
2. Context Files
☑ Upload your expertise and rules as files:
"First, read these files completely before responding: [filename.md] — [what it contains]."
Stop re-explaining your brand, your audience, your standards every single time. Put it in files.
3. Reference
☑ Show what you're aiming for. Upload an example.
"Here is a reference to what I want to achieve: [filename]."
No short prompts and hoping AI figures it out.
4. Research
☑ Claude searches before touching a single slide:
"Search the web using at least 5 varied searches (trends, data, expert opinions, case studies, counterarguments)."
It saves a structured research brief, organized by theme, with source URLs and key data points pulled out.
I like to add:
"Prioritize 2025–2026 sources. Flag anything where sources conflict or data is thin."
5. Slide Brief
☑ Turn research into a slide-by-slide outline:
"Each slide gets: a title, 3 key points, and any specific data/stats from the research that must appear on that slide."
No full paragraphs. Gamma will write the final text. Just give it enough structure and data to work with.
6. Rules
☑ Don't jump into making slides (yet):
"Do not generate slides yet." "Do not write full paragraphs."
A step-by-step approach takes longer, but makes (much) better slides. If you want to be faster, just go straight to Gamma.
7. Generate
☑ Pass the outline to Gamma as a presentation:
"Pass gamma-outline.md to Gamma as a presentation using textMode 'generate'. Use theme: [your brand theme name]."
Claude connects to Gamma for you. Like magic.
8. Theme
☑ Make sure to use your Gamma theme:
"Use theme: [your brand theme name]."
If you don't know how, I made a guide for teams at https://t.co/L0bPMgWEsy (scroll to the bottom).
After generating, review card by card:
→ Would I say this out loud?
→ Does this card earn its place?
→ Is the data right?
9. Alignment
☑ The prompt starts by asking YOU questions.
"Start by using AskUserQuestion to make sure you have enough context from me before researching."
Nothing starts until you're both on the same page. This replaces the old prompting era.

10 prompts to go from completely unprepared to completely untouchable in every meeting:
(Save this before it goes viral):
I accidentally discovered how to compress a semester of learning into 48 hours.
A grad student at MIT showed me his NotebookLM setup. I thought he was just organized. Then I watched him pass a qualifying exam on a subject he'd never studied before.
Here's exactly what he did:
First: he didn't upload a textbook.
He uploaded 6 textbooks, 15 research papers, and every lecture transcript he could find on the subject.
Then he asked NotebookLM one question:
"What are the 5 core mental models that every expert in this field shares?"
Not "summarize this." Not "explain this topic."
Mental models. The stuff that takes professors years to develop.
But the next part is what broke my brain.
He followed up with:
"Now show me the 3 places where experts in this field fundamentally disagree, and what each side's strongest argument is."
In 20 minutes he had a map of the entire intellectual landscape of the field:
the debates, the consensus, the open questions.
Most students spend a full semester just figuring out what those debates even are.
Then he did something I've never seen before.
He asked:
"Generate 10 questions that would expose whether someone deeply understands this subject versus someone who just memorized facts."
He spent the next 6 hours answering those questions using the source material. Every wrong answer triggered a follow-up:
"Explain why this is wrong and what I'm missing."
By hour 48, he could hold a conversation with his thesis advisor without getting destroyed.
The tool didn't change. The questions did.
Most people treat NotebookLM like a fancy highlighter.
These students are using it like a private tutor who has read everything ever written on the subject.
The difference between a semester and 48 hours isn't the amount of content.
It's knowing which questions to ask.
In 2023, Stanford professor Matt Abrahams gave a masterclass on how to think fast & speak smartly on the spot.
He explained:
• Why anxiety destroys clarity
• How structure beats intelligence
• Secret to spontaneous charisma

This is how you become a control FREAK.
Ask your OpenClaw agent:
“Build me a fully comprehensive terminal for tracking events in real time (news + global events) based on this prompt.”

You’ll need a good events/news API. Personally I’d recommend:
> GDELT: massive global event intelligence database
> NewsAPI: simple and reliable real-time news feeds
