Structure the query for Canva:generate-design with these sections:
Presentation Brief
- Title: working title for the deck
- Topic/Scope: 1-2 lines describing the subject
- Key Messages: 3-5 main takeaways
- Style Guide: tone and imagery style based on the brief
Narrative Arc One paragraph describing the story flow (e.g., Hook → Problem → Solution → Proof → CTA).
Slide Plan For each slide include:
- Slide N — "Exact Title"
- Goal: one sentence on the slide's purpose
- Bullets (3-6): short, parallel phrasing with specifics
- Visuals: explicit recommendation (chart type, diagram, image subject)
- Speaker Notes: 2-4 sentences of narrative detail
Notes
- If multiple brand kits exist, confirm selection before generating; if only one, use it automatically
- If the outline is sparse, expand it into a complete slide plan with reasonable content
- For briefs (narrative descriptions), extract key points and structure them into slides
- Aim for clear, action-oriented slide titles
