How to write better prompts for the AI Menti Creator

The quality of your presentation depends on what you tell the AI. A clear and complete prompt helps you get the best results faster.

When using AI Menti Creation to generate a first draft of your presentation, the input you provide will directly affect what the AI creator produces. For best results, your prompts should be clear, comprehensive and contain a good amount of context and specifics.

What to include in your prompt

A good prompt usually includes:

Topic: What the session is about

  • Example: “Team retrospective for last sprint”

Goal: What you want to achieve

  • Example: “Identify improvements for next sprint”

Context (optional): Who the session is for

  • Example: “A product team of 8 people”

Example: basic vs detailed prompt

Basic prompt: "Create a presentation about feedback"

Better prompt: "Create a 10-slide training session on giving and receiving feedback for managers. The goal is to help them practice real conversations."

Expect follow-up questions

The AI creator may ask questions such as:

  • What topic should the session focus on?

  • What outcome do you want?

This helps avoid generic content and makes the presentation more relevant.

Improve your results

You may need one or two iterations to get the best result. To improve your presentation:

  • Add more detail to your prompt

  • Adjust the goal

  • Ask the AI to add or change specific elements (for example, exercises or discussions)
