Your first deck

From an empty workspace to something worth reviewing, in one request.

The fastest way to understand the product is to give it real material and a real audience, then read what comes back critically. Do not start with a test prompt. Start with something you actually have to deliver.

  1. Turn the connection on

    In your assistant, enable Riplo Slides for the conversation. In Claude this is the connectors menu; in ChatGPT you call the plugin by name.

  2. Give it the material and the audience

    Paste your notes, or point at a document. Say who the deck is for and what you need them to do at the end of it.

  3. Let it plan before it builds

    Ask for the structure first. It is much cheaper to argue about the running order in a list than after fifteen slides exist.

  4. Open the deck and read it

    Work through the slides in the editor. Fix the things that are wrong by hand, and send back the things that need rebuilding.

A first request worth copying
Here are my notes from the client workshop. Build a 12-slide readout for the operations director. She needs to approve the phase two budget, so the deck has to land the three problems we found and what each one costs to fix. Plan the running order first and show me before you build.
