• 📸 Concept visuals (product mockups, icons, illustrations)
• 🎨 Both
• ❌ No images (content only)"

Image types by slide:

Slide	Image Type	Example Prompt
Problem	Icon/illustration	"Simple icon illustration of [pain point], clean minimal style, single color"
Solution	Product mockup	"Modern app screenshot mockup on iPhone, clean UI showing [feature]"
Market	Chart	"Professional market size chart, TAM SAM SOM concentric circles, blue gradient, business presentation style"

Prompt template:
