The Prompt That Saved My Sunday
Wow, 1 Prompt = Slides 😲
It was 5 p.m. last Sunday, storm clouds rolling outside the window.
My nine-year-old, ball in hand, begged for a quick match in the park. One hitch: the board needed a summary of a forty-page revenue report by six.
Pulse rising, I pulled up the draft in ChatGPT and typed a single prompt.
Ninety seconds later a clean, single-slide summary appeared. By 5:07 we were out the door, drizzle and laughter beating any spreadsheet stress.

📚 The Common Pain
Long spreadsheets drain hours, and bulky decks smother key points. When leaders skim, insight is lost, and the week’s planning drifts.
The bigger the dataset, the heavier the reading burden. One clear slide fixes that burden, but writing it by hand steals yet more time.
A carefully shaped prompt flips this pattern: machine muscle digs through rows while your mind stays free for judgment.
💡 The Exact Prompt
Copy the block below into your chat tool, fill the brackets, and press enter:
You are a senior analyst. Read the attached [revenue_report.pdf]. Create one slide in plain text. Include: – three high-impact insights, each under 15 words. – one short trend-line summary. – a next-step suggestion. Keep tone neutral and clear.

🤖 Why This Prompt Works
Large-context models thrive when given clear role, file, format, and length cues.
The role tells the model which lens to use; the file pointer tightens focus; the bullet rules tame sprawl; the tone guide keeps jargon low.
Together, they turn sprawling data into crisp headline phrases, ready to paste into a slide template or share in chat.
🏢 Real-World Win
Riverbyte, a mid-size SaaS startup, tried the same prompt on last quarter’s numbers. Their team lead reported a sixty-minute deck cut to a three-minute chat run.
Review time in their Monday stand-up shrank, leaving space for deeper debate.

🚀 Starter Steps for This Week
1️⃣ Pick one cumbersome report due in the next seven days.
2️⃣ Attach it to your chat session and fire the prompt above.
3️⃣ Paste the output into a slide template.
4️⃣ Time the whole flow. Share the number with your crew.
5️⃣ Refine the prompt based on feedback; store version two in your template library.
🛡️ Risk Check
Automated writing can amplify errors if source sheets hold bad rows. Always skim the final slide before hitting send. If your report contains private client data, drop column IDs before upload or use a local model that never leaves your network. For regulated fields, pair the prompt with a quick legal check—ask, “Highlight any statement that might trigger compliance review.” Two minutes of review prevents awkward retractions.
🌐 Tiny Market Pulse
Research firm PlusAI just named the Best AI Presentation Makers of 2025, you won’t believe how fast they work!
Venture-backed startups like Tome and Perplexity are pivoting their slide features straight at enterprise users, driving adoption beyond flashy demos. Read why “The Unsexy Future of Generative AI Is Enterprise Apps” in Wired.
🔄 Keep Learning
Each prompt run is a mini-experiment. Keep a simple log: date, report type, slide length, edit time. After four weeks, patterns emerge. Aim for the sweet spot: clear role, file tag, four or five bullet rules. Hit reply with your best variant—I pick one reader prompt each month and break it down in detail.
The key to a $1.3T opportunity
A new real estate trend called co-ownership is revolutionizing a $1.3T market. Leading it? Pacaso. Led by former Zillow execs, they already have $110M+ in gross profits with 41% growth last year. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO. But the real opportunity’s now. Until 5/29, you can invest for just $2.80/share.
This is a paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals. Under Regulation A+, a company has the ability to change its share price by up to 20%, without requalifying the offering with the SEC.
