Slide / Readout Drafter

Turn your notes into a slide-by-slide outline — a narrative spine, one idea per slide, talking points underneath.

Build an agent that turns your raw material — notes, a project doc, last week's status — into a structured slide outline you can drop into a deck. It uses File search to pull the source content, then shapes it into a narrative: a title arc, one clear idea per slide, and the supporting talking points beneath each, so you start from a real story instead of a blank canvas.

This is a single-tool transform → slide outline pattern using XML-tag prompt structure. The tags separate the phases — <gather> the source, <shape> the narrative, <format> the slides — which keeps the agent from skipping straight to bullets without first deciding what the deck is arguing. The defining design decision is narrative over dump: the agent organizes the material into a through-line (situation → insight → ask) rather than mechanically listing whatever was in the notes. It drafts from your content and flags where the story has a hole rather than inventing a slide to fill it.

This pattern applies anywhere source material needs to become a presented narrative. Common scenarios for this pattern:

• Status and project-update decks
• Readouts from a doc or analysis
• Proposal and pitch outlines
• All-hands or team-meeting decks
• Turning a written report into talking points
