Claude can build complete presentation decks with thoughtful slide layouts, clean data visualizations, and consistent typography. Describe your proposal content and design preferences, and Claude creates a professional deck you can refine through iteration.
With Opus 4.5, the conversation can continue as long as the work requires—so you can reference earlier decisions, reuse approaches that worked, and maintain consistency across rounds of feedback without starting over or re-explaining context.
I'm putting together a proposal deck for Midwest Regional Health, a healthcare network we've been in conversations with about our patient engagement platform.
Search my Google Drive for documents with "Midwest Regional" in the title—there should be discovery call notes, their RFP, and a competitive analysis we did.
Pull the relevant information to build out these slides: Make sure to include executive summary, their challenges, our solution and how it addresses their specific situation, implementation approach, pricing, case study (find a similar healthcare client we can reference), timeline and next steps.
Design direction: Clean and professional, but not sterile. I want something modern and approachable while still appropriate for hospital executives. Use premium typography (not default fonts) and our brand colors from the logo I'm uploading. Make sure text is conservatively sized so nothing gets cut off, and verify that no elements overlap.
Connect Claude to your files and provide brand assets so the proposal pulls from your actual client materials and reflects your visual identity.
Enable the Google Drive integration so Claude can search for and pull from your discovery notes, RFPs, competitive analysis, and past proposals. Upload your company logo for color extraction and brand consistency. If you have a past deck with the look you want, share it as a style reference—showing works better than describing.
Enable Extended Thinking in settings to help Claude synthesize information across multiple source documents and plan cohesive slide layouts.
For more complex, multi-step tasks turn on Extended Thinking for Claude to spend sophisticated layouts and narrative structure throughout the slides.
Claude searches your connected files, synthesizes the relevant information, and delivers a complete proposal deck with professional layouts and consistent design, ready for refinement based on your feedback.
I found several relevant documents in your Drive: the Midwest Regional discovery call notes from October, their RFP response, your competitive analysis, and your standard pricing sheet. I've synthesized these into a proposal deck.
Sales Proposal – Midwest Regional Health (7 slides)
The design uses your brand's navy blue as the primary color with a warm teal accent. I've kept text conservatively sized throughout for projector readability and verified that no elements overlap.
Here's how I structured the content from your documents:
Let me know what's working and what you'd like adjusted.
If you need visuals—a logo, product screenshot, chart, or diagram—describe what you need and Claude can generate and embed them directly in your slides.
You don't need to know exactly what's wrong. Describe what you're noticing—"this slide feels too busy" or "something's off about the flow"—and Claude can offer alternatives or diagnose the issue.
After several rounds of iteration, Claude has learned your taste. Ask it to document what worked, color choices, layout principles, what you rejected, so you or a teammate can start from those preferences to create follow up materials or on the next proposal.
Create a style guide based on what we landed on. Include the design choices that worked and the things I asked you to change. Additionally, create a one-page PDF summary I can email after the meeting in the same visual style.
With Opus 4.5, the conversation holds context across many rounds of feedback. You can say "use the same layout approach as the challenges slide" or "go back to the color we used before" without re-explaining. This keeps iterations faster and more consistent.
When Claude needs to pull from discovery notes, RFPs, and past proposals to build a cohesive narrative, Extended Thinking gives it time to plan how the pieces fit together. The model also reasons through visual hierarchy and slide structure more carefully, so you spend less time fixing layouts and formatting. For decks with data visualizations or complex information, the difference in polish is noticeable.
