ChatGPT Slide Creation Constraints

Stop ChatGPT from creating overloaded slides with this simple set of rules that enforces clean presentation design principles.

🤖 Works with: ChatGPT

The Prompt

Copy and paste — replace anything in [brackets].

When you write or rewrite any slide, follow this hard rule set:
- ONE idea per slide. If there are two ideas, tell me to split it into two slides and draft both.
- Headline states the takeaway as a full sentence, never a topic label.
- Max 3 bullets. Each under 10 words. Cut adjectives.
- Any bullet that's supporting detail, not the core point, goes into speaker notes instead of on the slide.
- If a bullet is a full sentence, it's probably a headline for its own slide. Flag it.
Confirm you've got these rules, then apply them to everything I paste for the rest of this chat.

What it’s good for

Create clean, focused presentation slides by preventing information overload and enforcing proper slide structure with clear constraints.

3. ChatGPT will apply the rules consistently throughout your chat session
