Early-stage founders spend weeks building investor pitch decks by refining messaging, structuring slides, formatting layouts and rewriting content. This project was inspired by the idea of eliminating manual slide design entirely and exploring whether structured natural language prompts could generate a board-level Series A pitch deck.
What it does
The project automatically generates a 12-slide investor-ready pitch deck for an AI-powered FinTech startup. It includes slide titles, concise bullet points, detailed speaker notes, market analysis, financial projections, competitive positioning and a fundraising ask. All content is produced using the PresentMe API and Python scripts, with no manual slide creation required.
How we built it
- Used the PresentMe API to create presentations programmatically
- Developed a Python script with async presentation creation and status polling
- Structured prompts to guide slide content, tone, and bullet limits
- Executed the script in Google Colab
- Iteratively refined prompts to improve output quality and realism
Challenges we ran into
- Ensuring slides were coherent and followed a logical sequence
- Balancing detail while keeping bullet points concise
- Producing realistic financial projections using only structured prompts
- Managing asynchronous API calls and polling for task completion
- Reducing unnecessary API usage while maintaining output quality
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Successfully generated a professional, investor-grade Series A pitch deck entirely through prompts
- Achieved a clear, structured and data-driven presentation suitable for institutional investors
- Demonstrated the power of prompt engineering to produce complex content without manual design
- Built a fully automated workflow that could be reused for other startups or industries
What we learned
- Prompt specificity directly impacts AI output quality
- Iterative refinement significantly improves presentation coherence
- Structured natural language can replace much of the manual work in professional communication
- Automation can save significant time for founders and teams producing investor materials
What's next for AI Pitch Deck Generator with PresentMe API
- Expand the system to handle multiple industries and use cases
- Integrate data visualisations and charts for richer presentations
- Optimise prompts for different audience types, such as board members or customers
- Explore multi-language support for international investor decks
