Free AI Course (4/5): Presentations and Visuals

Professional presentations in minutes

Creating a presentation used to take hours between templates, images and adjustments. With AI, that work shrinks to minutes: you describe the idea and the tool generates the slides with design included.

In this fourth module you will see the best tools, how to structure your content and which prompts to use so they turn out right the first time.

The best AI presentation tools

Tool	What it is	Free?
Gamma	Generates complete presentations from a text or topic	Yes (capped)
Tome	Presentations with narrative and modern style	Yes (capped)
Canva AI	Design with total control, templates and image generation	Yes
Copilot	Presentations inside Microsoft PowerPoint	Yes

Any of them works to start. Gamma and Tome are the most "automatic"; Canva AI gives you more control and Copilot if you already live in Microsoft.

Structure your content before asking

The key is what you tell them, not the tool. Before asking, define:

1. Topic: what the presentation is about.
2. Audience: who will see it (bosses, clients, team, students).
3. Goal: what you want them to remember or do.
4. Length: approximate number of slides.
5. Design: style, colors or visual tone.

This structure is what the AI uses to generate something relevant, not generic.

Prompt to generate the slides

Use this template as a starting point:

"Create a [number]-slide presentation about [topic]. The audience is [audience] and the goal is [goal]. Structure it with a cover, context, [sections], a case study and a closing. Use a [visual/formal/colorful] style and a [professional/friendly] tone."

Example sections for a business presentation:

Section	What it includes
Cover	Eye-catching title and name/topic
Context	Problem or starting point
Solution	What you propose and why
Data	Figures, charts and evidence
Case study	Real example and results
Closing	Conclusion and call to action

How to create images for the presentation

Whether you use the generated image or create your own, these tools integrate image generation by description:

• Canva AI: "image of a team collaborating in a modern office, flat style".
• Gamma/Tome: usually add images automatically based on the topic.
• Bing Image Creator: for standalone images you insert later.

Ask for images consistent with your topic and avoid filling with generic stock photos.

How to review the final presentation

AI delivers a solid base, not the finished work. Before presenting it:

• Review texts to remove errors or generic phrases.
• Adjust slides that are overloaded with text.
• Replace images that do not match your message.
• Add your brand: logo, colors and real company data.
• Rehearse with the tool or export to PowerPoint.

Conclusion

AI turns a hours-long presentation into a minutes-long process if you structure the idea well and direct the tool. Choose a free tool, use the prompt template and fine-tune the result.
