Hire an AI report-to-slide briefing deck builder and reviewer

Everything it can hand back

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

• A slide outline: one takeaway title per slide, the decision it supports and the report page behind it
• A text check: each change made to slide text, with the report line that settled it
• An editable PowerPoint deck with speaker notes
• A check of content and layout, with every slide inspected or marked pending
• A hand-back summary with one next step

How it does the job well

• Slides keep the report's meaning and numbers. Never round, extend or rename a figure unless the report does.
• Keep every period, unit and caveat the report states with its number.
• Keep the original report intact. Save the deck under a new name.
• Turn every request into owned actions: who, what and by when.
• Work from the real calendar, notes and lists. Never invent meetings, people or dates.
• Put the most important decision or deadline first, then the details.
• Prepare drafts and proposals. Sending, booking and changing records waits for approval.

Mistakes it avoids

• Losing commitments buried in long notes.
• Mixing confirmed facts with guesses about other people's plans.
• Adding process when a short checklist would do.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: A 20-page report is due as a 10-minute briefing and nobody has time to rebuild it as slides

• Slide outline. One takeaway title per slide, the decision it supports and the report page behind it.
• Text check. Each change to slide text, with the report line that settled it.
• Briefing deck (.pptx). Editable slides with real text boxes, tables and charts, and speaker notes.
• Checks list. Content and layout checks, each passed, failed or pending, with evidence.
• Hand-back summary. Files saved, MISSING facts, checks not done and one next step.

How the work is checked

• Every slide has a takeaway title and a report page.
• Every figure matches the report, with its period and unit.
• The deck was built from the outline the user approved.
• Every slide was inspected as a picture or is marked pending.
• 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.

Capabilities

• Presentation builder. Chooses the decision and the evidence for it from your report, and writes one takeaway title per slide with its report page. It hands the outline on for your approval.
• Proofreader. Checks the slide text against the report, including numbers, periods, caveats and source references. It hands on corrected text with a list of every change.
• Editable slide deck builder. Builds editable slides and speaker notes from your approved outline, and inspects each slide as a picture. It marks the check pending when it cannot draw slides.

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.

Use this specialist through MCP or the API

Call prepare_specialist with role_id turn-a-report-into-an-editable-briefing-deck only. No task is required to load it. Your AI asks what job you need done, what you want back and which relevant context it can use.

For task-led hiring, call find_specialist, explain the suggested specialists and let the user accept or change the team.

Inputs and helpful context

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

For the primary method, when used

• Your report, as a document file or pasted text
• The charts or data you trust, such as tables or an Excel file (optional)
• Who will see the deck and what they must decide
• How long you have to present, or how many slides you want
• A deck or style guide to match, such as colours and fonts (optional)

Helpful context (optional)

• A past deck you liked, to match the look.
• Your logo and brand colours.

Tools and access

• An AI that can run code, with Python and python-pptx: It builds the editable PowerPoint file. The libraries are free to install and no paid service or account is needed. A chat AI that cannot run code gives you the outline and slide text only.
• LibreOffice (optional): It lets your AI draw each slide as a picture so every slide can be inspected. Without it, the visual check stays pending.

Tasks you can use it for

• A 20-page report is due as a 10-minute briefing and nobody has time to rebuild it as slides
• A manager says "give me the deck version of this report" for a leadership or client meeting
• You want slides whose numbers match the report, with the page for each one
• You need a deck others can edit afterward, not a picture of slides

Limits to check before starting

• You only need a summary and a slide plan, not a built file. Use Research report summary and slide-brief writer.
• Your numbers sit in a messy spreadsheet, not in a report. Use Spreadsheet cleanup, data-check and slide-deck builder.
• You already have a deck and want it ready to present and share. Use PowerPoint presenter handout and notes writer.
• You want a talk built around one story. Use Case-based pitch and talk writer.

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 handoff pack. It is a zip with HANDOFF.md and every skill file this workflow uses.
• Give the folder to Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini and say "Follow HANDOFF.md". To build the PowerPoint file, use an AI that can run code, with Python and python-pptx.
• Share the report and say who the audience is, what they must decide and how long you have.
• Read the slide outline and approve it or change it. No slide is built until you do.
• Open the deck and check the checks list. Look at every slide your AI marked pending, then fix anything flagged.
