Insert a chart — AI Prompts for Google Slides

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

I need a bar chart on slide 7 showing test scores by class for Monday's faculty meeting. Insert a chart, set it to vertical bars for sections A–D, use the color palette from the template, and label the vertical axis 'Average score'. Place it centered on the slide and size it to 7 by 4 inches.

I can't tell if I should rotate labels, abbreviate class names, or enlarge the font and reduce the number of ticks. What is the most reliable change that makes the chart readable in a large room without misleading the data?

This undermines my point and wastes Q&A time. Which recurring adjustments should I adopt so every chart is projector-friendly from the first draft?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
