Rehearse slide timings — 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 need to rehearse slide timings for the 25‑minute talk. Run Rehearse Timings from the first slide, record the time I spend on each slide, and save the timings so the slide show will advance automatically during the recorded run. Ladder":"L1"

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I deliver this timed session to the training team, make the rehearsal actionable: show a summary of total runtime, flag slides over two minutes, and suggest which slides to cut or combine so I hit 25 minutes. Ladder":"L2"

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I just finished a rehearsal that totaled 32 minutes but the session must be 25. I don’t know which…

My rehearsal ran 32 minutes, five over target

I just finished a rehearsal that totaled 32 minutes but the session must be 25. I don’t know which slides are eating time. Tell me which slides likely caused the overrun, the fastest edits to shave seven minutes without losing core messages, and a simple rule to keep future rehearsals within time. Ladder":"L5"

Become — change the pattern

Rehearsals repeatedly overrun by about 20 percent and I waste time trimming at the last minute.…

Rehearsals always overrun by the same margin

Rehearsals repeatedly overrun by about 20 percent and I waste time trimming at the last minute. Where am I losing time in the prep flow and what two habit changes will reliably make my first rehearsal land within the target duration? Ladder":"L6"

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.
