Open PowerPoint, Google Slides, or your notes. Write a 5-line brief for one real deck: audience, goal, must-include, must-not-invent, and who approves send. If AI is available, generate just the outline. You're done when you've marked which line protects against invented numbers, in 12 words or less.

Deck AI drafts slides — you still own the story and the send
Use Copilot/Gemini in PowerPoint or Slides for outline and layout drafts, then rewrite the narrative yourself and never auto-share client numbers.
Worked example
Slide generators feel finished because they look professionally designed. They're still just drafts. Ask the in-app AI for a 5-slide outline or some title rewrites, then fix the actual story, kill any invented metrics, and keep share/send human-owned. Pretty is not the same as verified.
