Below are 15 actionable Gamma prompts designed to help you create impactful slide decks that resonate with your audience.

1. The 10-Slide Executive Brief

Prompt:

“Create a concise 10-slide executive brief on topic. Audience: senior decision-makers with limited time. Include: 1-slide summary, 3 key insights, opportunity size with numbers, risks, recommended next steps, timeline, and an appendix with sources. Avoid buzzwords and filler bullets—use declarative slide titles that state the conclusion.”

Why It Works:

This prompt is effective because it specifies the audience, length, and title style, turning slides into a narrative rather than a scavenger hunt.

Iteration:

“Regenerate slides 2–4 with one statistic per slide and standardize all titles as ‘Conclusion: Claim.”

2. Problem → Cause → Consequence → Remedy

Prompt:

“Turn pain point into a 12-slide deck structured as: Problem (3 slides), Causes (3), Consequences (3), Remedies (3). Each slide: one data point, one chart suggestion, one practical example. End with a 1-slide call to action.”

Why:

This classic causal chain forces Gamma to build a logical argument instead of a mere collection of thoughts.

Check:

Ask Gamma to provide source placeholders on every data slide for verification.

3. Product Launch With Realistic Scope

Prompt:

“Build a launch deck for product. Audience: internal stakeholders. Sections: positioning, user story, competitive alternatives, pricing assumptions, launch checklist, risk matrix, success metrics with targets (90-day). Include 2 options for positioning, not one. Use crisp slide titles, no rhetorical questions.”

Why:

Providing options reveals trade-offs, preventing Gamma from defaulting to one “best” answer.

4. Technical Explainer Without Jargon-itus

Prompt:

“Explain technical concept to a non-technical audience in 9 slides. Rules: simple language, analogies allowed but no cutesy metaphors. Each slide: term in plain English, what it does, why it matters, and one misconception. Include a ‘what this is not’ slide.”

Why:

The ‘what this is not’ slide helps clarify misconceptions before they arise.

5. Strategy, But Make It Terse

Prompt:

“Create a 12-slide strategy brief for goal. Use the structure: Goal, Constraints, Assumptions, Plan A, Plan B, Risks, Metrics, Resourcing, Timeline, Tradeoffs, Decision Required, Next Steps. Title each slide with a complete sentence that states the point.”

Why:

This approach emphasizes that strategy is about choices under constraints, compelling Gamma to show these constraints.

6. The Honest Competitive Landscape

Prompt:

“Build a competitor overview for market. Include 2x2 positioning (axes I’ll edit), feature parity table, where rivals are genuinely better, where they’re weaker, switching costs, and likely countermoves. Tone: candid, not chest-thumping.”

Why:

Forcing the acknowledgment of where competitors excel prevents the usual marketing posturing.

7. Case Study That Doesn’t Read Like a Press Release

Prompt:

“Create a client case study on client/problem. Layout: context, constraints, hypothesis, what we tried, what failed, what worked, measurable results, client quote (placeholder), and lessons learned. Keep verbs active. Include one ‘we were wrong about X’ slide.”

Why:

Acknowledging mistakes builds credibility, and Gamma responds well to mandated humility.

8. The Budget You Can Defend

Prompt:

“Generate a budget justification deck for initiative. Include cost breakdown, cost-to-value mapping, three scenarios (base, aggressive, conservative), cash-flow timing, and what we’ll cut if results lag. Each slide must tie dollars to outcomes.”

Why:

This prompt emphasizes that financial decisions should be linked to tangible outcomes.

9. Trends Without Futurology Nonsense

Prompt:

“Create a 10-slide trend analysis on domain for 2025. Only include trends with observable signals from the last 18 months. For each: signal, counter-signal, likely duration, and tactical implication. Ban hype words like ‘revolutionize’ and ‘disrupt.’”

Why:

Counter-signals ensure a balanced viewpoint, which Gamma appreciates.

10. Onboarding That Doesn’t Make New Hires Nap

Prompt:

“Build a new-hire onboarding deck for team. Focus on how we work: tools, rituals, coding/review standards (if applicable), decision rights, ‘one-week survival kit,’ and a 30/60/90 plan. Minimize history. Maximize ‘how to get unstuck.’”

Why:

Effective onboarding should focus on application rather than corporate history.

11. Sales Narrative Without the Sleaze

Prompt:

“Craft a sales deck for buyer persona. Open with a real-world problem vignette, then job-to-be-done, alternatives (including ‘do nothing’), our difference in 3 bullets, proof, pricing ranges, ROI scenario, and implementation steps. Avoid superlatives. Keep it human.”

Why:

Identifying the “do nothing” option keeps the audience grounded in reality.

12. Educational Lecture That Sticks

Prompt:

“Design a lecture deck on topic for level. Use this arc: hook example, misconception, concept, demonstration, practice exercise, reflection question, and further reading. Each slide: one idea, no sub-bullets. Include an exercise answer key at the end.”

Why:

Teaching effectively requires structured attention, and this prompt provides that structure.

13. Retrospective Without the Blame Game

Prompt:

“Create a project retrospective for project. Slides: goals, what happened, what went well, what didn’t, surprises, process gaps, decision log, data we wish we had, action items with owners, and a stop/continue/start list. Keep tone neutral and factual.”

Why:

This approach focuses on processes rather than individuals, which can help maintain a constructive atmosphere.

14. Research Findings People Can Read in 5 Minutes

Prompt:

“Summarize research on question in 8–10 slides. For each claim, provide a citation (placeholder ok), a visual suggestion, and a confidence rating. End with ‘What we don’t know yet’ and ‘Next experiments.’”

Why:

Confidence ratings can mitigate the allure of certainty, providing a more nuanced view.

15. The One-Page That’s Actually One Page

Prompt:

“Produce a single-page summary slide for initiative using a dense-but-readable layout: objective, audience, constraints, proposed plan, costs, expected outcomes, risks, and a single request. Fit content to one slide. Prioritize hierarchy and scannability.”

Why:

If you can’t convey your message in one slide, it may need further refinement.
