Logitech: From Raw Data to Slides
TL;DR
A streamlined AI workflow using tools like NotebookLM and custom prompt chains can turn raw materials into a polished presentation in hours instead of days.
KEY POINTS
Shift from slides to structured inputs
Traditional presentation building often begins with a blank slide and scattered research, leading to inefficiency and late-night editing. A more effective approach starts by organizing inputs and defining structure before any slide design begins, reducing cognitive overload and wasted effort.
Centralized synthesis with NotebookLM
Raw materials such as reports, emails, notes, and transcripts are consolidated into NotebookLM, which generates a structured outline tailored to a specific audience and objective. This replaces manual synthesis and ensures the draft remains grounded in source material.
Chained AI prompts for clarity
Instead of relying on a single complex prompt, a sequence of specialized prompts improves accuracy. A Prompt Builder refines the outline into a clear instruction set, which is then passed to a presentation generator to create slide headlines, structure, and visual suggestions.
Human oversight remains essential
AI is treated as a collaborator rather than an autonomous solution. While it handles the first draft, human review ensures alignment, accuracy, and quality, preventing drift and maintaining strategic intent.
Narrative development with video tools
Tools like Google Vids help transform slides into a cohesive story by testing flow and drafting voiceovers or speaker notes. This step emphasizes that effective presentations rely on narrative, not just visuals.
Final polish through AI coaching
A presentation coaching tool acts as a rehearsal partner, offering feedback on clarity, pacing, and emphasis. This allows more time to focus on delivery rather than formatting or slide design.
CONCLUSION
By combining structured inputs, chained AI prompts, and human oversight, this workflow significantly reduces presentation creation time while improving clarity and storytelling.

If you've ever turned five Chrome tabs into 50 just to make one simple deck, welcome to the club. I'm Eric porras, Head of Global AI at Logitech, and this is AI boost bytes, where we share a quick, practical ways to work smarter with AI. Today, I'll show you a Workspace native AI flow that gets me from raw materials to a draft deck in hours, not days. Let's talk about a painpoint you probably know WELL Building a presentation the old way, or as I like to say, the manual grind. It starts with blank page paralysis and analysis turns into a scavenger hunt across last quarter's decks, random emails and spreadsheets, and somehow ends with a Pixel pushing marathon at o'clock o'clock AM. Here's the shift. I don't start with slides at all anymore. I start with inputs and structure. Step one I gather the raw materials, reports, briefs, emails, notes, meeting transcripts, you name it and drop them into NotebookLM. Notebook LLM does the heavy lifting on synthesis. I ask it to produce a structured outline for my audience and my goal, based only on the sources I give it. Step two I move into drafting, and this is where a chain of gems I created helps me go from outline to deck fast. I don't try to do this in one mega prompt because clarity beats cleverness. Each step has one job, stays grounded in the sources, and I can catch drift early. First, I use a power Prompt Builder gem to tighten the prompt, basically turning my outline into a clean high signal instruction set. That Refine Prompt goes into my presentation builder gem, which generates a first pass deck with headlines, structure, and visual suggestions. And here's an important point I treat I like a capable teammate. I give it context and constraints, and then I review and steer because quality still needs a human owner. I delegate the first pass, but I own the final call. Step three is narrative. A strategy deck isn't just slides, it's a story. I use Google Vids, especially convert slides to pressure test the flow, and draft and draft the voiceover or speaker notes. Finally, for Polish and practice, I run it through a presentation coach gem, my sparring partner for clarity, pacing and emphasis before at Showtime. That's AI'S leverage giving me time to focus on delivery and less on deck drudgery. Ready to get started. Now it's your turn. Thanks for watching. Have fun. And remember, AI is a teammate, not just a tool.
