AI PowerPoint: Claude makes serious consulting slides

Let's be honest: AI-generated presentations are often a mess. Disconnected text, embarrassing graphics, and an overall vibe of a five-minute job. But someone, finally, got fed up with this sloppiness, aiming for something more serious.

The gozen3ji/consulting-pptx-skill project on GitHub was created to improve the quality of presentations generated by artificial intelligences like Claude. The idea is simple: if AI has to make slides, at least it should do them well. And by “well,” we mean stuff that won't make you blush in a meeting, but rather something you could show a demanding client.

It's not magic; it's discipline. Instead of letting Claude run wild, the system instructs it with a strict set of rules. Imagine giving an artist not just a theme, but also a color palette, a precise style, and a list of mandatory elements for each painting. It's the same here, but with slides.

The core of the system is a process that includes defining 38 specific slide types, from the classic “Agenda” to the more complex “SWOT Analysis.” These “SlideSpecs” guide Claude in content creation. Then, a generation pipeline transforms everything into a real PPTX, with automated checks verifying compliance with established conventions. Essentially, a robotic reviewer who never complains.

Perhaps it won't save boring meetings themselves, but at least the slides won't be the problem. The goal is to give professionals and consultants an almost perfect starting point. No more hours spent rearranging text boxes or choosing fonts that don't look like they're from the 90s.

The gozen3ji/consulting-pptx-skill project offers a method to automate the creation of professional presentations, reducing the time spent on manual formatting. This means you could have an entire presentation ready in a fraction of the time, leaving you free to focus on the actual content. Or maybe, just to grab an extra coffee. Not bad, right?
