Best practices

SlideDrift works best when the input has a clear topic, audience, and point of view.

You do not need to write a perfect prompt. A focused draft, article, outline, or set of notes is usually enough.

Start with a clear source

Good sources usually include:

• One main topic.
• A clear audience.
• Specific points, examples, or lessons.
• Enough context for SlideDrift to understand the argument.

Avoid mixing unrelated ideas in one generation. If you have several topics, create separate carousels.

Give direction when needed

If you are starting from notes or a rough idea, add a short instruction at the top:

Turn this into a practical carousel for freelance designers.
Keep it direct, useful, and beginner-friendly.

For stronger results, mention the audience, tone, and desired outcome.

Review before exporting

Always review the generated deck in the editor. Check that:

• The opening slide is clear.
• Each slide has one job.
• The order makes sense.
• Claims are accurate.
• The final slide gives the reader a useful takeaway.

Keep sensitive content out

Do not paste private customer data, passwords, API keys, confidential documents, or anything you would not want processed as source material.
