Hire an AI thesis defence outline and question planner

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• A summary of your contribution, methods, results, limits and open questions, with page references
• A timed defence outline, with each claim linked to the page that backs it
• Speaker notes for each slide
• Practice questions on your method choices, other explanations and limits
• A proofread outline and notes, with a hand-back summary naming every gap

How it does the job well

• Every claim, number and page reference comes from the thesis. If it is not on a page, it is not a claim.
• Practice questions come from the thesis. Never say they are what the examiners will ask.
• Keep the thesis's limits in the outline. Do not strengthen a result.
• Do not invent a page number. If a claim has no page, write MISSING: page.
• No rehearsal, mock defence or exam has happened. Say so in the hand back.
• Research the buyer and their company before writing. One specific, true detail beats ten generic lines.
• Lead with the buyer's problem and outcome, not your features.

Mistakes it avoids

• Making claims about results, prices or terms that are not approved.
• Long first messages that ask for too much.
• Updating pipeline numbers on hope rather than evidence.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: Your thesis is finished and your defence date is set.

• Thesis map. Your contribution, methods, results, limits and open questions, each with a page reference.
• Defence outline. Each slide with its claim, the page that backs it and its minutes, adding up to your slot.
• Speaker notes. What to say for each slide and what evidence to point at.
• Practice questions. Questions on method choices, other explanations and limits, with the page where each answer sits.
• Hand-back summary. Each saved file, every MISSING line and a note that no rehearsal or exam has happened.

How the work is checked

• Each claim has a page, or a MISSING: page line.
• The minutes add up to the presentation time.
• The limits appear in the outline.
• Practice questions are labeled as practice, not as predictions.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

A second opinion

Before it hands back, your AI reviews the draft the way Dale Carnegie would. This is a way of reviewing the work. It does not mean they wrote or endorse it.

Capabilities

• Source note summariser. Reads your thesis and lists your contribution, methods, results, limits and open questions, each with a page reference. Hands step 2 the list. Check before moving on: each page number leads to its claim.
• Presentation builder. Builds a timed outline and speaker notes that tie each claim to evidence in the time you have. Adds practice questions on method choices, other explanations and limits.
• Proofreader. Checks the outline and notes for the same terms, exact figures and clear wording as your thesis. Lists each change. Records that no rehearsal or exam has happened.

How the role works

1. Checks your task, context and available tools.
2. Picks the methods needed and prepares a work plan.
3. Carries out supported tasks, with each method's limits and review gates.
4. Checks the real deliverables and corrects supported faults.
5. Hands back files, evidence and unresolved gaps.

Inputs and helpful context

The specialist starts from the task brief. Only active methods require their inputs.

For the primary method, when used

• Your finished thesis, as a file or the chapters pasted in
• Your actual results and the limits you stated
• The exam format and how long you have to present
• Your approved slide outline, if you have one (optional)
• Feedback from your supervisor or examiners on earlier drafts (optional)

Helpful context (optional)

• Your supervisor's notes on your last draft.
• The department's rules for the defence.

Tools and access

• Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini: They can read long files. If your thesis is too long for one go, paste one chapter at a time and say which pages it holds.
• A slide tool such as PowerPoint or Google Slides (optional): You build the slides there from the outline. This workflow does not make the slide file.
• Any good chat AI: Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini all handle a long source in one message. Claude takes the longest texts.

  • Anything that goes beyond their public record, marked

Tasks you can use it for

• Your thesis is finished and your defence date is set.
• You must present for 15 to 30 minutes and then take questions.
• Your supervisor told you to be ready to explain why you chose your method.
• You want to see which claims in your thesis you cannot point to a page for.

Limits to check before starting

• Your thesis is still being written. Ask your supervisor for feedback on the draft first.
• You are giving a short talk at a student conference. Use the Student conference talk and rehearsal planner workflow.
• You want slides made from a paper with every figure traced. Use the Build a research talk from checked figures workflow.
• You want to predict what your examiners will ask. This workflow only gives practice questions from your own thesis.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Download the pack and give it to your AI, such as Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. Use one that can open long files.
• Attach your thesis. Say how long you have, how the exam works and any slide outline you were given.
• Check step 1 against your own thesis. Each page number must lead to the claim it names.
• Answer each practice question out loud, with a timer. Mark the ones where you could not point to a page.
• Take the outline to your supervisor and ask them to rehearse with you. The AI cannot do that for you.
