Condensing Slides with AI

Too much text kills presentations. AI can help you condense wordy slides into clear, impactful messages.

Why Shorter is Better

  • Audiences retain key points better
  • Less reading, more listening
  • Visual clarity improves
  • Presenter maintains attention
  • Slides support, not replace, the speaker

AI Condensation Techniques

  • Summarization: Extract key points
  • Keyword extraction: Identify core terms
  • Bullet conversion: Transform paragraphs
  • Redundancy removal: Cut repetition

The 6x6 Rule

Aim for maximum:

  • 6 bullet points per slide
  • 6 words per bullet point

Shortening Process

  1. Identify the core message
  2. Remove unnecessary words
  3. Convert sentences to phrases
  4. Use visuals instead of text
  5. Move details to speaker notes

What to Keep

  • Key statistics and data
  • Essential action items
  • Critical names and terms
  • Main takeaways
