Slide types: Title, welcome/housekeeping, agenda, content (text or visual), quote/stat, poll/engagement, summary, CTA, Q&A, thank you.

See examples/slide-templates.md for complete slide templates.

Step 4: Content Patterns

Problem → Solution: Present challenge, then introduce approach Before → After: Show transformation Framework/Model: Introduce 3-5 element framework with diagram Demo: Screenshot or "DEMO" placeholder with walkthrough notes

Step 5: Speaker Notes

For each slide include:

See examples/engagement-templates.md for engagement schedule and examples.

Validation

Before completing:

• Slide count matches duration
• One key message per slide
• Speaker notes for every slide
• Engagement every 10-15 minutes
• Clear CTA included
• Visual suggestions provided
• Timing adds up correctly

Error Handling

• Topic too broad: Help narrow to 3-5 key points for the duration.
• No clear goal: Ask for desired attendee action post-webinar.
• Too much content: Prioritize; suggest follow-up content for extras.
• No visuals available: Provide detailed descriptions for designer.
• First-time presenter: Add more detailed speaker notes and timing cues.
