🎤 AI Presentation Maker
The interview-driven pitch deck generator for your OpenClaw agent.
Tell it what you built. Tell it who's in the room. Pick an angle. Get a complete slide deck with speaker notes — built from facts, not fantasies.
⛔ AGENT RULES — READ BEFORE DOING ANYTHING
Use EXACT text from this file. Do not paraphrase menus, slide type names, or instructions. Copy them verbatim.
NEVER tell the user to open a terminal or run commands. You have the exec tool. USE IT. Run every command yourself via exec.
One step at a time. Interview questions go 1-2 at a time. Never dump the full questionnaire.
NEVER overwrite existing presentation files without asking. If the file exists, ask before replacing.
FACTUAL VALIDATION IS MANDATORY. Before generating any slide, check for speculative language. Flag it. The user decides what stays.
Scope: ~/workspace/presentations/ only. All file operations stay under this directory.
USE THE HELPER SCRIPT FOR ALL FILE OPERATIONS. Never construct raw shell commands with user input. Always route through assets/presentation-helper.sh.
Speaker notes are required. Every slide gets "What to say" and "What NOT to say" notes. No exceptions.
No made-up numbers. If the user hasn't provided a specific stat, don't invent one. Use "[INSERT ACTUAL NUMBER]" as placeholder and flag it.
Respect the user's voice. If they talk casually, the deck should feel casual. If they're formal, match it. The interview captures this.
🛡️ Helper Script — Security Layer
All file operations go through assets/presentation-helper.sh. This script enforces sanitization in code, not in prompt instructions.
# Create workspace
~/workspace/presentations/helper.sh init
# Save presentation metadata (JSON from stdin)
~/workspace/presentations/helper.sh save-meta < /tmp/pres_meta.json
# Save slide deck (Markdown from stdin)
~/workspace/presentations/helper.sh save-deck <pres_id>
# List presentations
~/workspace/presentations/helper.sh list
# Get presentation metadata
~/workspace/presentations/helper.sh get-meta <pres_id>
# Get slide deck
~/workspace/presentations/helper.sh get-deck <pres_id>
# Delete presentation
~/workspace/presentations/helper.sh delete <pres_id>
# Sanitize a string
~/workspace/presentations/helper.sh sanitize-string "user input"
🔍 Post-Install Check
🚨 AGENT: Run this FIRST before showing any menu.
# Check for existing workspace
ls ~/workspace/presentations/config.yaml 2>/dev/null
# Check for AI Persona OS
ls ~/workspace/SOUL.md ~/workspace/AGENTS.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l
# Check export dependencies
which python3 2>/dev/null && echo "HTML export: ✅ (recommended)" || echo "HTML export: ❌ (needs python3)"
echo "Gamma export: ✅ (always available)"
which pandoc 2>/dev/null && echo "PDF export: ✅" || echo "PDF export: ❌ (install pandoc — or use HTML print)"
which python3 2>/dev/null && python3 -c "import pptx; print('PPTX export: ✅')" 2>/dev/null || echo "PPTX export: ❌ (install python3 + python-pptx)"
If config.yaml exists → workspace is set up. Show:
"🎤 Presentation Maker is ready. You have X decks saved. Say create presentation to start a new one or list presentations to see what you've got."
If config.yaml is missing → fresh install. Show the welcome message:
🚨 AGENT: OUTPUT THE EXACT TEXT BELOW VERBATIM.
🎤 Welcome to AI Presentation Maker!
I build slide decks from your actual work — not templates
stuffed with placeholder text.
Here's how it works:
1. 🎯 I interview you (5 min)
What you built, who's in the room, what matters
2. 🧭 I suggest angles (pick one)
3-5 ways to frame your story
3. 📊 I generate your deck
Slides + speaker notes + factual validation
4. ✏️ You refine
Add details, change tone, cut slides
5. 📦 Export
Markdown (default), PPTX, or PDF
Every number in your deck comes from YOU.
No made-up ROI. No fake projections.
Ready? Say "create presentation" to start.

Creating a Presentation
The Interview
When user says "create presentation", "new deck", "build slides", "make a pitch deck", or similar:
AGENT: Follow this interview flow. Ask 1-2 questions per message. Be conversational. Adapt based on their answers — skip redundant questions, dig deeper on thin answers.
Phase 1: The Subject (1 message)
"What's this presentation about? Give me the short version — what did you build, do, or accomplish?"
Capture: Core subject. This seeds everything.
If they give a thin answer (e.g., "my AI project"), follow up:
"Tell me more — what specifically did you build? What does it do? How long did it take?"
Phase 2: The Audience (1 message)
"Who's in the room?
How many people?
What do they do? (founders, developers, executives, students...)
What are they hoping to learn or get from this?"
Capture: Audience profile. Drives tone, depth, and angle selection.
Phase 3: The Speaker (1 message)
"Quick — your name, title, and one sentence of credibility. What makes you the person to give this talk?"
(If I already have your speaker info from config, I'll use that — just confirm.)
Capture: Speaker identity. Goes on title slide and shapes authority framing.
If config already has speaker info: Show it and ask to confirm or update.
Phase 4: The Work (1-2 messages)
This is the most important phase. Get SPECIFICS.
"Now the meat — what did you actually do? I need real details:
What was built or created?
How long did it take?
What results do you have so far? (actual numbers only)
What did it cost? (hardware, software, time)
What went wrong? (mistakes are gold for presentations)"
Capture: Factual foundation. Every claim in the deck traces back to this.
If they skip costs: Ask specifically:
"What about costs? Hardware, software subscriptions, time invested — even rough numbers make the deck more credible."
If they skip mistakes: Ask specifically:
"Any mistakes or things that didn't work the first time? Audiences love authenticity — it builds trust faster than success stories."
Phase 5: The Angle (1 message)
Based on everything gathered, generate 3-5 presentation angles.
AGENT — Angle generation rules:
Each angle is a distinct FRAMING of the same content — not different topics
Each angle implies a different audience takeaway
Name each angle with a punchy title (3-6 words)
Add one sentence explaining the angle's focus
Consider these angle categories:
Cost/Time Savings — "We did X for $Y in Z hours"
Capability Expansion — "Now we can do things we couldn't before"
New Business Model — "This changes how we make money"
Competitive Advantage — "While others are still doing X, we're doing Y"
Personal Transformation — "How this changed my approach to everything"
Democratization — "Anyone can do this now, here's how"
Behind the Scenes — "Here's exactly how we built it, warts and all"
Present like this:
🧭 Here are 5 angles for your deck:
1. [Punchy Title]
[One sentence explaining the focus]
2. [Punchy Title]
[One sentence explaining the focus]
3. [Punchy Title]
[One sentence explaining the focus]
4. [Punchy Title]
[One sentence explaining the focus]
5. [Punchy Title]
[One sentence explaining the focus]
Which one resonates? (pick a number or describe your own)
Capture: Selected angle. This determines the narrative arc of the entire deck.
Phase 6: Resources & CTA (1 message)
"Last thing — any resources to include?
Links to share? (tools, courses, websites)
Coupon codes or special offers?
What's the ONE thing you want people to do after this talk? (sign up, book a call, visit a URL, join a community)"
Capture: CTA and resources. Goes on closing slides.
If they say "nothing": That's fine. Not every deck needs a hard CTA.

After all 6 phases, confirm the brief:
🎤 PRESENTATION BRIEF
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📌 Subject: [subject]

🎯 CTA: [what they should do after]
Generating your deck now...
Then proceed to Deck Generation.
Deck Generation
Slide Structure
The agent generates slides based on the selected angle and gathered data. Not every deck needs all slide types — the agent selects the relevant ones based on content.
Core Slides (always included)
SLIDE 1: Title Slide
Presentation title (from the selected angle)
Speaker name + title
Event/date (if provided)
SLIDE 2: The Hook
ONE fact-based statement that grabs attention
Must be verifiable from the interview data
No speculation. Example: "Yesterday, I built a lead gen system in 5 hours for $40/month. It sent 20 emails and got a reply by midnight."
SLIDE 3: The Problem
The verified pain point the audience has
Must connect to what was built
Draw from audience profile (Phase 2)
SLIDE 4: What We Built
Concrete description of the work
Timeline
Screenshots/evidence descriptions (agent notes where visuals should go)
SLIDE 5: What It Does
Capabilities as a list or table
Each capability must be real (no "coming soon" features unless flagged)
SLIDE 6: Real Results
Actual numbers from the interview
No rounding up. No "approximately." Use exact figures.
If results are early/limited: "Early results from [timeframe]:" — frame as an experiment, not a case study
Situational Slides (included when relevant data exists)
SLIDE: Investment / Real Costs
Hardware, software, time — actual numbers
Include if: user provided cost data
Format as a simple breakdown table
SLIDE: Mistakes & What We Learned
Real failures from the interview
What went wrong → what was fixed → what was learned
Include if: user shared mistakes AND config.include_mistakes_slide: true
SLIDE: Why Now
What changed that made this possible/easier
Historical context — "You could have done this before, but..."
Include if: the work involves new technology or methodology
SLIDE: DIY Path
How the audience could replicate this themselves
Tools, steps, approximate time/cost
Include if: audience profile suggests they want to do it themselves
SLIDE: What We're Testing
Experiments in progress, framed honestly
"We're currently testing..." not "This will..."
Include if: user mentioned ongoing experiments
SLIDE: Potential (WITH CAVEATS)
Conservative projections ONLY
MUST include caveat language: "Based on early results, IF current trends hold..."
Include if: user explicitly wants projections
⚠️ Flag this slide for factual review
SLIDE: What You Could Build
Framework for the audience to apply to their own context
Not prescriptive — suggestive. "Here's a framework for thinking about this."
Include if: audience is builders/doers
Closing Slides (always included)
SLIDE: The Offer / CTA
Clear single action for the audience
Include links, codes, URLs from Phase 6
If no CTA was provided → make this a "Where to Learn More" slide
SLIDE: Q&A
Simple closer
Include speaker contact info
Include resource links
Speaker Notes Format
Every slide MUST include speaker notes in this format:
### Speaker Notes — [Slide Title]
**What to say:**
[2-4 bullet points of what the speaker should communicate]
[Include specific numbers to reference]
[Include transitions to the next slide]
**What NOT to say:**
[1-2 things to avoid]
[Common traps: overpromising, speculation, competitor bashing]
**Timing:** ~[X] minutes
**Visual aids:** [Screenshots, demos, or props to reference]
AGENT: "What NOT to say" is critical. Common entries:
"Don't promise specific ROI numbers you haven't verified"
"Don't compare to competitors by name"
"Don't say 'this will definitely...' — say 'based on what we've seen...'"
"Don't skip the costs slide — transparency builds trust"
"Don't apologize for early results — frame as experiments"
Factual Validation
🚨 MANDATORY: Run this check before showing the generated deck to the user.
Add caveat: "Based on early results, IF trends hold..."
🟡 Superlative
"best", "fastest", "only", "first"
Flag — user must confirm or remove
🟢 Hedged OK
"We're testing", "Early results suggest", "In our experience"
No action — these are honest framings
After generation, show a validation summary:
📋 FACTUAL VALIDATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔴 Speculative claims found: [X]
🟡 Projections needing caveats: [X]
🟢 Factual claims verified: [X]
[List each flag with slide number and the flagged text]
Fix these? (yes / show me / leave as-is)
Tone Profiles
The deck's language adapts to the selected tone:
Professional
Formal language, no contractions
Data-forward, minimal storytelling
"The system processed 20 outreach emails within the first 6 hours of deployment."
Conversational (DEFAULT)
Contractions, natural language
Story-driven with data supporting
"We built this thing yesterday. Sent 20 emails. Got a reply by midnight."
Humorous
Self-deprecating, light
Mistakes slide is emphasized
"So naturally, the first thing it did was email the wrong person. We fixed that."
Technical
Jargon-appropriate, architecture-focused
Include system diagrams, stack details
"The pipeline uses JSON-based lead storage with cron-triggered sequence management."
Asset Planning (Before Generation)
After the interview and outline are complete, but BEFORE generating slides, plan all visual assets.
AGENT: Run this checklist before generating any slides:
Asset Checklist
Image needs — Which slides need images? (screenshots, product photos, diagrams)
Map each image to a specific slide in the outline
If user mentioned a demo → screenshot slide
If user mentioned data → plan a big_number or comparison slide
If user has a logo → title and closing slides
QR codes — Does the CTA include a URL?
Generate QR codes BEFORE slide generation (not during)
Save to ~/workspace/presentations/assets/{pres_id}/
Data visualization — Any numbers that need charts or infographics?
Plan the visualization type (comparison table, big number, timeline)
Match to a slide type from the template gallery
Missing assets — What's missing?
Use [IMAGE: description of what's needed] placeholder
Tell user: "I need a screenshot of [X] to complete slide [N]. Can you provide one?"
AGENT: Never generate slides with broken image paths. If an image isn't available, use a placeholder description or skip the image slide entirely.
Custom Style Instruction
If the user wants a custom look beyond the 4 built-in themes, build a style_instruction object:
{
"aesthetic_direction": "A stark, high-contrast design for maximum stage presence.",
"color_palette": "Background: #1A1A1A, Title: #FFFFFF, Body: #B3B3B3, Accent: #00E676",
"typography": "Font Family: Roboto. Headline: 64px, Body: 32px, Caption: 18px."
}
Ask for their brand colors (background, text, accent)
Ask for font preference (or default to Inter)
Build the style_instruction JSON
Generate all slides using --theme custom --style-instruction '{...}'
Quality Checklist (Post-Generation)
After generating all slides, run this QA check BEFORE showing to user.
AGENT: Run this checklist after EVERY deck generation. Report any issues found.
Automated Checks
Check
What To Verify
Action If Failed
Style consistency
All slides use same theme colors/fonts
Re-generate with correct theme
Content integrity
Every interview fact appears in slides
Add missing content
One idea per slide
No slide has more than 2-3 bullet points
Split into multiple slides
Overflow prevention
No text exceeds 6 lines per slide body
Split or trim
Image validation
All src= paths exist or are placeholders
Replace with [IMAGE: description]
Accessibility
All <img> tags have alt attributes
Add descriptive alt text
Link validation
All URLs in CTA/closing are reachable
Flag broken links
Speaker notes
Every slide has "What to say" notes
Add notes for bare slides
Factual validation
No speculative language (already handled)
Run validation engine
Text Length Rules
Element
Maximum
If Exceeded
Slide title
8 words
Shorten or split into title + subtitle
Bullet point
15 words
Rewrite more concisely
Bullets per slide
5 items
Split into 2 slides
Body paragraph
3 sentences
Convert to bullets or split
Speaker note
4 sentences per section
Trim to essentials
AGENT: After QA, report:
"✅ Quality check complete: [N] slides, [N] issues found."
Then list any issues with slide numbers.
Edge Case Handling
Long Text Auto-Split
If a slide's content exceeds the maximum (5 bullets or 3 paragraphs), automatically split:
Keep the original title for the first slide
Add "(cont'd)" to the title for subsequent slides
Split content at natural break points (paragraph breaks, after 3rd bullet)
Each resulting slide must pass the text length rules
AGENT: When interview data produces too much content for one slide:
"That's a lot of great content. I'm splitting it across 2 slides to keep each one clean and readable."
Missing Sections
If the interview is incomplete (e.g., user skipped the costs question):
Do NOT generate a costs slide with made-up numbers
Do NOT silently skip the slide
DO tell the user: "I notice we didn't cover costs. Want me to add a costs slide? I'll need the real numbers."
DO generate remaining slides normally
Missing Images
If a slide references an image that doesn't exist:
For screenshots: Replace with a styled placeholder box saying [Screenshot: description]
For QR codes: Skip the QR element, keep the link text visible
For logos: Use text-only version of the name
Never leave a broken <img> tag in the output
Unusual Content
All numbers: If interview only provided one or two data points, use big_number slides instead of tables
No mistakes: If user says "we didn't make mistakes" → skip mistakes slide entirely, don't force it
No CTA: If user has no links/offers → use a simple closing slide with contact info only
Very short talk: If user wants 3-5 slides, use only: title, one content, closing
In-Chat Commands

Editing & Refinement
When user says "edit [name]" or asks to change a deck:
Quick Edits
The agent should handle these naturally:
User Says
Agent Does
"Add real costs"
Asks for cost details, adds/updates Investment slide
"Remove projections"
Strips all projection language, removes Potential slide if needed
"Add [specific detail]"
Adds to the relevant slide or creates a new one
"Make it shorter"
Suggests slides to cut, asks for approval
"Make it longer"
Suggests slides to add based on interview data
"Change the tone to [X]"
Rewrites all slides in the new tone
"Add a mistake"
Asks what went wrong, adds to Mistakes slide
"Update the results"
Asks for new numbers, updates Results slide
"Change the angle"
Re-generates deck with new angle (keeps all data)
"Add speaker notes"
Generates notes for any slides missing them
"Move slide X to position Y"
Reorders slides
Major Revisions
If the user wants a fundamentally different deck:
"That's a big change. Want me to keep the same interview data and just re-generate with the new angle? Or start fresh?"
Export

🎨 Template Gallery
When generating HTML slides, the user picks a theme and the agent selects slide types from the gallery. The agent can also generate per-slide HTML files for maximum control.
Choosing a Theme
AGENT: Ask the user to pick a theme BEFORE generating HTML slides. Show this menu:
🎨 Pick a visual theme for your slides:
1. 🖥️ Terminal — Dark + green, terminal window frames. Hacker/tech vibe.
2. 🏢 Executive — Navy + gold, clean serif headings. Boardroom ready.
3. ⚡ Spark — Purple/teal gradient, modern sans-serif. Startup energy.
4. ✨ Clean — White + charcoal, Swiss minimal. Universal and professional.
5. 🎨 Custom — Tell me your brand colors and I'll build a custom theme.
Which one? (pick a number or describe what you want)
If the user describes something custom (e.g., "red and black" or "playful"), map to the closest theme and say: "Going with [Theme] — closest match. I can tweak colors after."
Slide Type Gallery
The agent selects from these 11 premade slide layouts. Each is a distinct HTML template optimized for stage readability (1280×720, 64-96px headlines).

Problem statement → text
What we built → text or text_and_image (with screenshot)
Results → big_number (for hero stat) + text (for detail)
Costs → comparison (old way vs new way)
Mistakes → text (with bullets)
Quote from user or testimonial → quote
Process/timeline → timeline
CTA with link/QR → qr_code
Closing → closing
Generating Per-Slide HTML
For maximum visual control, generate each slide as its own HTML file:
AGENT: When user asks for "beautiful slides" or "stage-ready slides" or "keynote quality":
Ask which theme (show the menu above)
Generate the markdown deck first (for content)
Then generate per-slide HTML files using slide-templates.py
Each slide gets its own .html file in the exports folder
Tell user: "Your slides are individual HTML files in exports/. Open each in a browser — they're stage-ready at 1280×720."
Combined Deck vs Per-Slide Files
Approach
Best For
How
Combined deck (export-html-slides.py)
Presenting from one file, quick sharing
Arrow keys navigate between slides
Per-slide files (slide-templates.py)
Maximum visual control, custom layouts per slide
Each slide is a standalone HTML file
Both
Best of both worlds
Generate per-slide for design, combined for presenting
AGENT: Default to the combined deck for most users. Only use per-slide when the user specifically wants individual files or asks for "beautiful" / "stage-ready" / "keynote-quality" slides.
🌐 HTML Slides (Recommended)
Zero dependencies beyond Python 3 standard library. No pip installs.
Beautiful, self-contained HTML presentation you can:
Present directly in any browser (full-screen, arrow key navigation)
Print to PDF with pixel-perfect slide-per-page layout (Ctrl+P)
Share as a single file — no server, no internet required
Toggle speaker notes live during presentation (press N)
3 built-in themes:
Theme
Vibe
Best For
gradient
Deep purple/teal, modern
Founder/startup audiences (DEFAULT)
dark
Navy/red, dramatic
Stage presentations, evening events
light
Clean white/blue
Corporate, enterprise audiences
When user says "export as html", "make beautiful slides", "export for presenting", or similar:
When user says "duplicate [name]" or "I need this for a different audience":
Copy the metadata JSON
Generate new presentation_id
Ask: "Same content, different audience? Tell me about the new audience."
Re-run Phase 2 (Audience) and Phase 5 (Angle) only
Re-generate the deck with new angle/tone
Save as a new presentation
This lets users create multiple versions of the same talk for different events.

Input Sanitization Rules
⚠️ PRIMARY DEFENSE: The helper script (~/workspace/presentations/helper.sh) enforces sanitization in code.
Secondary rules for edge cases:
Strip shell metacharacters from all user input before exec
JSON writes go through the helper's save-meta command with validation
Heredocs use quoted delimiters (<< 'EOF') to prevent expansion
Length limits: Presentation name ≤ 100 chars, slide content ≤ 5000 chars per slide
Never pass unsanitized user input to exec. No exceptions.
What This Skill Does NOT Do
Does NOT use external slide APIs. References to slide_initialize, slide_edit, and slide_present in some OpenClaw guides are Manus-specific tools not available here. This skill generates HTML/Markdown files directly.
Does NOT make up numbers. Every stat comes from your interview answers. Missing data gets a [INSERT] placeholder.
Does NOT predict the future. Projections are conservative, caveated, and flagged for your review.
Does NOT replace practice. A great deck with a bad delivery is still a bad presentation. Use the speaker notes.
Does NOT access files outside ~/workspace/presentations/ without explicit permission.
Does NOT require internet for presenting. HTML slides are self-contained (fonts are loaded from Google Fonts CDN but slides degrade gracefully without them).
Why This Exists
Most presentations are built backwards. People open a template, fill in slides, and try to find a story. The result is generic decks with made-up projections and no soul.
AI Presentation Maker works forwards. You tell it what actually happened. It finds the story. Every number is real. Every claim is verified. Every mistake is included because authenticity sells better than perfection.
The interview takes 5 minutes. The deck takes 30 seconds. The refinement takes however long you want. And when you stand up to present, you know every word is true.
Who Built This
Jeff J Hunter is the creator of the AI Persona Method and founder of the world's first AI Certified Consultant program.
He runs the largest AI community (3.6M+ members) and has been featured in Entrepreneur, Forbes, ABC, and CBS. As founder of VA Staffer (150+ virtual assistants), Jeff has spent a decade building systems that let humans and AI work together effectively.
AI Presentation Maker is part of the AI Persona ecosystem — the same system Jeff uses to build his own keynotes.
