Add Your Brief
Add your context below. It will be included with the prompt when you copy or download.
Create an editable HTML presentation with a 16:9 canvas, previous/next buttons, arrow-key navigation, a slide counter and a one-slide-per-page print layout for [PROJECT] and [AUDIENCE]. The task is: Investor Update Deck.
Required content and structure
Summarize progress, key metrics, cash context, risks and specific asks.
Use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source of names, dates, figures, claims and destinations. List missing inputs before substituting anything. If a demonstration is needed, label its content as fictional. Do not invent customer quotes, rankings, partner logos or product capabilities.
Design direction
Use [BRAND_RULES] and the design system already selected in the project. If no system is supplied, start with this direction: white, midnight navy and restrained blue; strong alignment and simple evidence diagrams. Keep type, spacing and color roles consistent. Prioritize the task over decorative elements and avoid a generic collection of unrelated cards.
Content preparation
Gather the reporting period, progress, metric definitions, cash context, risks and specific requests. Keep forecasts and runway assumptions separate from recorded actuals.
Layout and behavior
Lead with the current situation and the few changes that matter. Connect each request to a clear need, and place assumptions near forward-looking figures.
Task-specific acceptance check
- Preserve financial periods and separate runway assumptions from actuals.
- Reconcile financial periods and metric denominators.
- A runway estimate should show its basis, and a forecast should not inherit the visual treatment of an achieved result.
Implementation and review
Keep text editable. Use semantic structure, descriptive controls, visible keyboard focus and appropriate empty/error states. Check narrow and wide layouts. Respect reduced-motion preferences. Preserve any existing project framework and dependencies; do not silently replace the stack. Return the editable files and explain any incomplete behavior or unsupported inputs. Review this specific task before proposing extra features.
Keep one main idea per slide. Use charts only when actual comparable values are supplied; include units, source dates and limitations. Keep speaker notes separate from visible slide content.
Reference attachment and reconstruction goal
Attach reference.webp from this prompt’s download bundle alongside this prompt in OpenDesign. Build an editable result with a similar composition and hierarchy; do not embed the whole reference image as the finished interface. Preserve approved project content and brand rules if they conflict with fictional sample labels. If the image is missing or unreadable, ask for it instead of claiming visual fidelity.
Reference composition and content
Use the attached reference.webp as the visual reference for Investor Update Deck. Before building, identify the major regions from top to bottom, their relative widths and heights, alignment, spacing, typography hierarchy, surface colors, borders, imagery and repeated components. Preserve those relationships rather than substituting a generic template. Required task content: Summarize progress, key metrics, cash context, risks and specific asks. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Lead with the current situation and the few changes that matter. Connect each request to a clear need, and place assumptions near forward-looking figures.
Visual direction from the example brief
white, midnight navy and restrained blue; strong alignment and simple evidence diagrams.
Slide structure and presentation behavior
Recreate the slide composition as editable title, body, visual and annotation elements. A pictured slide is one view, not evidence of a complete deck. Use the supplied narrative to build any requested additional slides; preserve its typography, margins, color roles and alignment. Lead with the current situation and the few changes that matter. Connect each request to a clear need, and place assumptions near forward-looking figures. Keep navigation outside exported slide content. Preserve financial periods and separate runway assumptions from actuals.
Visual comparison and delivery
- Compare the result with the attached image at matching proportions. Review major region placement, relative image sizes, line breaks, spacing, typography hierarchy, contrast, active states and content density before polishing decorative details.
- Then test the narrow layout without squeezing desktop text into tiny labels.
- Keep logos, photos and icons as separate assets and all meaningful labels editable. List any unavailable fonts/assets and any intentional departures. Return the working files plus a concise account of implemented behavior and remaining integrations; do not promise a pixel-identical result from the prompt alone.
Adapting the reference to slide dimensions
The attached visual reference is a 3:2 concept image, while the requested presentation uses 16:9 slides. Recompose its text, images, charts and spacing as separate editable elements on a 16:9 canvas. Do not stretch the reference or crop the whole composition to force a match. Preserve the hierarchy, keep the supplied content readable, and adapt each slide to its own message.
Download Prompt + Image
Includes the complete prompt and full-size reference image. Attach both in OpenDesign to guide the layout.
How to Write an Investor Update Deck Design Prompt
Use this investor update deck design prompt to summarize progress, key metrics, cash context, risks and specific asks.
The reference is an AI-generated concept. The instructions below describe what to build and test; the image does not demonstrate working behavior.
Keep Performance and Outlook Distinct
An investor update deck should make progress, cash context and risks easy to inspect.
Actual results and forward assumptions belong in visibly different parts of the story. Lead with the current situation and the few changes that matter. Connect each request to a clear need, and place assumptions near forward-looking figures.
From the Prompt
Lead with the current situation and the few changes that matter.
Make It Your Own
Report [ACTUAL_METRICS] for [PERIOD], then explain risks, cash context and specific asks. Show runway assumptions separately from historical cash figures.
Prepare the Investor Update Deck Content
The cover’s lower row separates progress, metrics and cash context. Supply dated evidence for each area; the image itself contains an agenda rather than financial results.
Gather the reporting period, progress, metric definitions, cash context, risks and specific requests. Keep forecasts and runway assumptions separate from recorded actuals.
From the Prompt
Summarize progress, key metrics, cash context, risks and specific asks.
Make It Your Own
For [PROJECT], use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source for this investor update deck. Gather the reporting period, progress, metric definitions, cash context, risks and specific requests. Keep forecasts and runway assumptions separate from recorded actuals. Identify missing inputs before replacing them with demonstration content.
Compare Two Reporting Periods
Risks and specific asks complete the agenda. State the actual risk, mitigation and requested help rather than using a generic optimistic closing.
Definitions and period lengths should match before showing growth. A forecast should retain its assumptions even when summarized on the opening slide. Reconcile financial periods and metric denominators. A runway estimate should show its basis, and a forecast should not inherit the visual treatment of an achieved result.
From the Prompt
Preserve financial periods and separate runway assumptions from actuals.
Make It Your Own
Review the investor update deck against this requirement: Preserve financial periods and separate runway assumptions from actuals. Reconcile financial periods and metric denominators. A runway estimate should show its basis, and a forecast should not inherit the visual treatment of an achieved result. Preserve approved content and revise only the parts that fail this check.
Review Your Investor Update Deck Result
A generated image cannot validate a complete deck or its evidence. Test every slide, keyboard navigation, print layout and any exported file separately.
- Reconcile financial periods and metric denominators. A runway estimate should show its basis, and a forecast should not inherit the visual treatment of an achieved result.
Follow-Up Prompt
Use this after the first result. It narrows the revision to the most important part of this task.
Refine the current investor update deck. Reconcile financial periods and metric denominators. A runway estimate should show its basis, and a forecast should not inherit the visual treatment of an achieved result. Preserve the approved content and visual direction; change only the parts needed to resolve these issues.
