Add a new slide — AI Prompts for Microsoft PowerPoint

The four heights

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

Execute — do the immediate task

I have to add a slide to the Acme workshop deck that presents the proposed timeline. Insert a new slide after slide 3, use a layout appropriate for a timeline graphic, and title it Project Timeline. Leave space for three milestone bullets and save the file.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I add the timeline slide, make it easy for the client to scan — choose a layout that puts a short title at the top, a horizontal timeline visual in the center, and three concise milestone placeholders with months. Flag if the current deck lacks room for a graphic or uses small fonts that will hurt readability.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I clicked to add a slide but the deck already has inconsistent slide sizes

I just tried to insert a timeline slide after slide 3 and realized some slides are 16:9 while others are 4:3. I don’t know which size the client will prefer or whether changing sizes will break layouts. What should I assume, and what’s the simplest fix so the new slide matches the rest without wrecking content?

Become — change the pattern

Every meeting cycle I add slides to decks and then spend 20–30 minutes reordering and fixing…

I keep inserting slides in the wrong place and reorder later

Every meeting cycle I add slides to decks and then spend 20–30 minutes reordering and fixing headers. That slows reviews and annoys partners. What single habit will cut that rework and keep slide order correct from the start?

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.
