Combine your research expertise with Claude's ability to extract themes and restructure content. Together, you'll learn to identify compelling findings, build narrative arcs, and create clarifying visuals while Claude handles the formatting details.
Tell Claude about your presentation context and then ask to extract key findings and create structured presentation materials from your research paper and any supporting data.
I'm uploading our group paper on sleep quality and academic performance. We have 12 minutes to present to a mixed audience of professors and students, with 4 presenters sharing the time. Analyze this research to:
Then create:
A Canva slide deck outline with clean visuals, data charts, and transitions—we'll open this in Canva to refine and add our own style
Speaker notes document with minimalist design, box structures, muted color palette, and clean sans-serif hierarchy. Add elements like a split workspace/reference column layout and use a functional modernist aesthetic so this document is easy to use while preparing.
Provide your research materials and connect tools so Claude can create visual presentation elements and structured outlines.
Upload your research paper, any research data files, and your assignment rubric. Click the (+) button in the chat bar to browse through your files, or alternatively, drag and drop files into the chat box area.
Connect the Canva connector so Claude can generate complete slide decks that you can open and edit directly.
Enable the Google Drive integration for Claude to pull relevant files without manual uploads.
Enable Extended Thinking to give Claude more time to think through complex tasks—analyzing your research deeply, identifying narrative threads, prioritizing findings for your audience, and structuring information clearly.
Claude transforms your research into presentation materials structured for clarity and impact—slides outlined with sections from your research that are ready for editing and speaker notes that distribute content logically across presenters.
After analyzing your research, I've identified several compelling themes and connections:
1. Canva Presentation - Structured around discovered themes (ready for your refinement):
Choose your preferred design:
Design Option 1 | Design Option 2 | Design Option 3
2. DOCX Speaking Script - Maps how insights build on each other:
Practice articulating your findings out loud to catch unclear explanations before the actual presentation. Use voice mode on your mobile device to transcribe your presentation out loud and receive feedback.
I'm going to present my main findings as I would during the actual presentation. Tell me if my explanation is clear, if I'm missing important nuances, or if I should emphasize different aspects.
Iterate on the first output, by requesting alternative approaches for sections that aren't communicating effectively.
Slide 7 feels cluttered and the data visualization isn't clear. Here's what I want to communicate: [your idea]. Can you suggest three different visual approaches? I'll pick the one that fits best.
To ensure you're well-prepared for your presentation, ask Claude to help you anticipate potential questions so you can develop your thinking and practice responses beforehand.
Based on this presentation, what questions might professors ask? What are potential counter-arguments or opposing viewpoints I should prepare to address? I'll give you my responses and you can help me strengthen my answers.
When preparing for presentation, tell Claude which parts of your own research you find hard to explain clearly. Claude can help you articulate complex concepts with clear language and relevant analogies.
Claude can make formatting errors, so explicitly mention to check for mistakes in your prompt. Ask Claude to verify no text or elements overlap and to use appropriate font sizes to prevent overcrowding on slides.
Let Claude quickly outline important sections and save you time that may have been spent copying and pasting content. After the first pass, use Claude to iterate on larger structural changes while tweaking colors and smaller details yourself.
If the output isn't quite right, be specific in your request to Claude about what to change. Claude can regenerate sections, adjust color schemes, or restructure content based on your feedback.
