Simon works as a supply chain and operations consultant at Resultance in Belgium. His client presentations cover topics such as financial analysis and process flows. A colleague introduced him to Slidely. The results below reflect Simon's experience, not a company-wide rollout or a controlled benchmark.
The challenge
After meeting with a client, Simon used ChatGPT to summarize the discussion. He then had to turn the summary into slides himself.
He spent a lot of time arranging the content and placing images on each slide. He found this design work difficult.
“I'm really bad at creating slides”
His manager reviewed the slides after they were built. Simon could therefore spend time designing a slide before finding out that its content or layout needed to change.
The solution
Review the brief before building the slides
Simon and his manager now develop the presentation brief together in a shared ChatGPT project. They agree on what the slides should say and write the prompt before Simon uses Slidely to create them.
This gives his manager a chance to review the message before Simon spends time on slide design. It reduces the need to revisit decisions after the slides have been created.
Include supporting information from files and websites
“Even if my prompt isn't perfect, it understands where else it can find the missing information.”
Simon values Slidely's ability to use information from an Excel sheet or a website he references. He says this helps when his prompt leaves out details that are available in the supporting material.
Use ChatGPT for the brief and Slidely for the slides
Simon also tried creating presentations directly in ChatGPT, but he preferred the slides he produced with Slidely. He now uses ChatGPT to prepare the brief and Slidely to create the presentation.
The impact
An estimated 3 to 4 hours saved each day
Simon spends less time on manual slide design. Reviewing the brief with his manager first also helps him avoid working on slides whose message has not yet been agreed.
He estimates that using Slidely in this way saves him 3 to 4 hours a day. This is his own estimate, not a measured company-wide result.
More confidence when presenting his work
Simon says he feels confident showing his presentations to his manager and clients. He also feels more comfortable presenting decks that he finishes shortly before a meeting.
Better slides without changing how he prepares content
Simon still uses ChatGPT to develop his ideas with his manager. With Slidely, he can turn that brief into slides without doing the layout work himself. He keeps the content preparation process he already knows and gets a presentation he prefers to the results he produced directly in ChatGPT.
