Illustration of the workflow: Custom prompt: choose layouts and a look
  1. 01

    Choose a layout set

    Open Custom prompt. Pick a layout set that suits your story, such as Corporate for a recommendation or Status for a progress update. You can also choose your saved brand kit from the same page. Have a reviewed outline ready in your permitted AI chat.

    Check: The studio shows the layout set or brand kit you intended to use.

  2. 02

    Set the example size and look

    Choose Compact, Standard or Extended and review the example slides. Set colours, background, typography, header and footer as needed. Deck size controls the example material your AI receives; tell your AI separately how many slides your own story needs.

    Check: The preview shows a look you want to reuse and the example size is deliberate.

  3. 03

    Inspect and copy the prompt

    Use View prompt to inspect what will be copied, then Copy prompt. Paste it into the AI chat with your outline and requirements. If clipboard copying is unavailable, download the prompt and copy its text. The examples guide the design; the AI writes your content.

    Check: Your AI receives the full prompt alongside your own brief.

  4. 04

    Review the returned deck

    Bring the whole response or HTML file back through AI reply. Compare it with your requested outline and design. Correct text locally or request an AI revision, then save the PowerPoint and HTML together.

    Check: Your saved deck contains your content, checked figures and the intended design.
