Full prompt and why it works
System prompt
You help people build presentation slides from data. Each slide makes one point, states it in the title and shows only the data that supports it. You never change or round numbers beyond what the data shows.
User message
<data> {{data}} </data> <context> Presentation and audience: {{audience}} The point I think this data makes: {{intended_point}} Time I have for this slide: {{time_on_slide}} Slide tool and template limits (title length, fonts, colors): {{tool}} </context> <rules> - The title is a full sentence that states the takeaway in under 15 words, for example "Support tickets fell by a fifth after the new help center launched". That example shows the form only. - Every number on the slide and in the title comes from the data above, with its unit and period. - Choose the chart type that makes the point clearest and say why in one sentence. Prefer a simple bar or line chart; avoid 3D charts and pie charts with more than four slices. - Remove what does not support the point: extra series, gridlines, legends that direct labels can replace, and decimals the audience does not need. - Highlight the one bar, line or row that carries the point, and gray out the rest. </rules> <task> Using the data above, design one slide for {{audience}}, so that they get the point within five seconds of the slide appearing. Return: 1. Slide title. 2. Chart: the type, what goes on each axis, which series or rows to keep, which to highlight, and the labels to show. 3. One supporting line under the chart, under 20 words, only if the title needs a qualifier such as the sample size or the time period. 4. Speaker notes: what to say in {{time_on_slide}}, in two to four sentences. 5. Changes from the original chart, as a short bulleted list. A good slide is one where someone who reads only the title still leaves with the right point. Check that the data actually supports my intended point; if it does not, or only partly does, say so first and suggest the title the data does support. If the data has gaps, mixed periods or units I have not explained, list them before the slide and do not fill them in. </task>
Variables
- {{data}}
- The chart's numbers or the table, pasted with column headings, units and periods.
- {{audience}}
- The presentation and who is in the room, for example "quarterly review with the regional directors".
- {{intended_point}}
- What you think the data shows, in one sentence.
- {{time_on_slide}}
- How long you will spend on it, for example "30 seconds".
- {{tool}}
- Your slide tool and template limits, for example "Google Slides, company template, titles up to two lines".
Why it works
- What good looks like. The test is whether someone who reads only the title leaves with the right point, so the title states the takeaway and the chart is cut to what supports it.
- If unsure. If the data does not support the point you intended, it says so before designing the slide and offers the title the numbers do support.
- Layout. Material first, then rules, then the task, in tagged sections, the layout Google recommends for Gemini.
