Prompting Guide

The quality of your prompt directly affects the quality of your design. Here are tips and examples for getting the best results.

General tips

• Be specific about content: Don't just say "make a pitch deck." Describe what the deck is about, who the audience is, and what key points to cover.
• Mention structure: If you want a specific number of slides or sections, say so.
• Describe the tone: Words like "professional," "playful," "minimal," "bold," or "corporate" help the agent make style decisions.
• Include real data: If you have specific metrics, quotes, or text, include them in your prompt rather than expecting the agent to make them up.
• Reference your brand kit: If you have a brand kit selected, the agent will use it automatically. You can also call out specific brand elements in your prompt.

How to get less "AI-looking" designs

• Provide specific content rather than generic placeholders
• Reference a website or existing design as style inspiration
• Ask for minimal, clean layouts rather than overly decorated ones
• Upload reference images showing the style you want
• Use the Pro model for more sophisticated design decisions (Pro and Ultra plans)

Using reference images and files

You can attach files to your prompt to give the agent more context:

• Images: Style references, mood boards, screenshots of designs you like
• PPTX files: Existing presentations to redesign or update
• PDFs: Documents to convert into designed layouts
• DOCX/XLSX/CSV: Content to incorporate into designs
• URLs: Websites to scrape for content or style reference

Prompts for specific use cases

Pitch decks

Create a 5-slide investor pitch deck for [company name].
Cover: problem, solution, market size ($X TAM), traction (Y users, Z% MoM growth),
team backgrounds, and a $Xm Series A ask.
Tone: confident, data-forward, clean modern layouts.

Social media posts

Create an Instagram carousel (5 slides) announcing our new product launch.
Product: [description]. Key features: [list].
Style: bold typography, vibrant colors, clear call to action on the last slide.
Format: square post (1080x1080).

Marketing one-pagers

Design a one-page sales sheet for [product/service].
Include: problem/solution, 3 key benefits with icons, a customer quote,
and contact information. Professional and information-dense.

Diagrams and workflows

Create a diagram showing our customer onboarding flow:
Sign up → Email verification → Profile setup → First project → Success.
Use clean icons and connecting arrows. Keep it simple and easy to follow.

Iterating on designs

After the initial generation, you can refine with follow-up prompts:

• "Make the headings larger and bolder"
• "Change the background color to our brand blue"
• "Add a slide about our team between slides 3 and 4"
• "Replace the stock image on slide 2 with something more professional"
• "Make this look less corporate and more startup-friendly"

The agent remembers the full conversation context, so you can build on previous instructions.
