How to use AI to create a work presentation

Should work presentations be a storytelling process or a concise way to share your ideas with others?

I was recently tasked with creating a presentation for a client, and while I wasn’t sure if it would be presented verbally over Zoom or delivered via email, I needed to edit my presentation so that it felt more conversational and less like a to-do list. While beautiful in design, it lacked the same personality in content.

To prepare myself for a possible outcome, I jumped on it goblin.toolsa free, neurodivergence-focused AI platform used to help navigate daily tasks like meals, time management, digital communication, and even tone.

With a few shortcuts built precisely for my immediate needs – like the Estimator (just tell me how long this will take), the Judge (am I misunderstanding the tone of this?) and the Formalizer (turn snappy thoughts into stylish thoughts or vice versa) — I knew that refining what I created would take less time than if I searched through my syntax and edited it myself.

How to use goblin.tools to create a presentation

Step 1: goblin.tools was created for ease of use, so navigating the site is quite easy. Jump in first the estimator to get an estimated time (and set an expectation) for how long your presentation will take to create. My estimate was two to four hours and did not exceed that.

Step 2: From here you insert your copy the formalizer and scroll through the drop-down menu to find the tone you want to work with. With 14 different tone options, the Formalizer makes it fun to figure out how you want to get your point across – or how (or if) your message will land.

Step 3: To set up and close my presentation I clicked more passionate and found myself turning around easier to read for all areas where complex information was involved. If you have an overview, article, or briefing that you want to turn into bullet points for your presentation, this is the place to do that too.

Step 4: It’s inevitable that you’ll come across some part of your presentation that you’d like to expand or go into a little more depth. Another great asset of goblin.tools is the professor, which will give you a crash course in, well, anything (goblin.tools has access to OpenAI’s GPT models and associated training data for all that “knowledge”). Enter what you would like an explanation of, and the professor will respond with a simplified explanation of your topic and an example that puts the explanation into practice. So when I noticed that my presentation read with a disconnect between what I was talking about and why it was important for this specific audience to hear about it, I switched to that part of the site.

Step 5: When you are happy with your draft presentation, copy it to the judge to gauge how it comes across. I used this function to see if goblin.tools understood my main ideas. If the AI ​​platform could read my presentation from a similar perspective to mine, I felt strangely confident in how a real person would respond to it.

Step 6: Read, refine, and repeat until you can consider your presentation complete. Congratulations!

Should you use goblin.tools to create a presentation?

This particular AI tool cannot be used to help you design and write a presentation, but it can prepare you for success in the writing part. You can learn more about a topic, design best practices, and even refine the outline, bullet points, and first draft of your presentation on the platform.

But if you are looking for an AI tool that will help you with all aspects of the presentation creation process, I would use a different tool before this one. A few currently creating digital buzz are Nice.ai, Tome and the long-standing Canva. Because I only had to (re)write my presentation, this was not a pain point for me. But I understand the need for a tool that can create everything at once.

I believe goblin.tools is useful for many aspects of professional and personal life, and since it doesn’t have a paywall (unless you’re in China), you won’t lose if you try.

It may not be the all-in-one presentation tool you might be looking for, but it can be useful for a variety of “life administration” tasks – such as writing an email to a client to clarify whether your presentation will take place via Zoom or in person.
