How to make slides with Claude: 1. Task ☑ Define what you want & what success looks like: "I want to build a pptx presentation so that [SUCCESS CRITERIA]." No "make me a deck about X." ↳ That's how you get 10 slides of nothing. 2. Context Files ☑ Upload your expertise and rules as files: "First, read these files completely before responding: [filename.md] — [what it contains]." Stop re-explaining your brand, your audience, your standards every single time. Put it in files. 3. Reference ☑ Show what you're aiming for. Upload an example. "Here is a reference to what I want to achieve: [filename]." No short prompts and hoping AI figures it out. 4. Research ☑ Claude searches before touching a single slide: "Search the web using at least 5 varied searches (trends, data, expert opinions, case studies, counterarguments)." It saves a structured research brief, organized by theme, with source URLs and key data points pulled out. I like to add: "Prioritize 2025–2026 sources. Flag anything where sources conflict or data is thin." 5. Slide Brief ☑ Turn research into a slide-by-slide outline: "Each slide gets: a title, 3 key points, and any specific data/stats from the research that must appear on that slide." No full paragraphs. Gamma will write the final text. Just give it enough structure and data to work with. 6. Rules ☑ Don't jump into making slides (yet): "Do not generate slides yet." "Do not write full paragraphs." A step-by-step approach takes longer, but makes (much) better slides. If you want to be faster, just go straight to Gamma. 7. Generate ☑ Pass the outline to Gamma as a presentation: "Pass gamma-outline.md to Gamma as a presentation using textMode 'generate'. Use theme: [your brand theme name]." Claude connects to Gamma for you. Like magic. 8. Theme ☑ Make sure to use your Gamma theme: "Use theme: [your brand theme name]." If you don't know how, I made a guide for teams at how-to-gamma.ai (scroll to the bottom). After generating, review card by card: → Would I say this out loud? → Does this card earn its place? → Is the data right? 9. Alignment ☑ The prompt starts by asking YOU questions. "Start by using AskUserQuestion to make sure you have enough context from me before researching." Nothing starts until you're both on the same page. This replaces the old prompting era. I teach you how Claude works at claude-co.work. Copy the full prompt template + download my personal .md files for Claude by following this: Step 1: Subscribe for free → how-to-ai.guide. Step 2: You will have two choices: free or paid. Step 3: Choose the free tier. Don't pay for anything. Step 4: Open your welcoming email (wait 30 sec). Step 5: Access my entire prompt library & md files.



Dear Democrats, Last night was not politics. It was a mirror. When Iryna Zarutska’s name fell into the silence like a stone into still water, her mother’s shoulders shook. A twenty something girl, full of tomorrow, stabbed twenty times on a subway because someone who never belonged walked free. Anna sat there in the very heart of our Capitol, clutching a photo that should have been a hug. You did not stand. When Jacqueline Medina’s daughter was named, raped, murdered, gone, when Angel Families rose with faces carved by loss, you stayed down. Not one hand lifted. Not one voice said, “We see you.” The marble pillars did not tremble. But something inside every watcher did. Then came the words that should have united us. Stand if you believe the first duty of this government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens. Republicans rose like dawn. You sat. Arms folded. Eyes fixed. As if the question were beneath you. As if grief were optional. And then Omar and Tlaib. Shouting, “You killed Americans.” “Lies.” Pointing fingers. Storming out. Turning the State of the Union into a street fight while heroes waited. The hockey team with gold around their necks. The ninety nine year old veteran who bled for this flag. The soldier who pulled a child from floodwaters. The little girl smiling through pain because help came. Some of you stood for them. But when grief entered the room, you remained seated. We are not naive. We know lines get drawn. We know borders are hard. But last night was not a vote. It was a vow. America is not a contract. It is a promise. If you live here, work here, raise children here, bleed here, you are safe. That promise died on that subway. And you let it lie there. We love this country. Not the speeches. Not the suits. The quiet things. Flags on porches at dusk. Kids riding bikes without fear. Widows who still light candles on birthdays. We love it because we know what it costs. You showed us last night what you lack. Not ideas. Not arguments. Heart. A mother wept in your presence. You did not rise. That is the image history will keep. Not your buttons. Not your signs. Not your walkouts. Just Anna’s tears. And the empty seat beside her. From Americans who still rise. For the fallen. For the living. For the promise we will not let die. #Democrats #SOTU


No, it’s a crime This is delusional




🚨 WARNING TO PARENTS: They are trying to feed woke poison to your children without you knowing it Who would guess that simple cartoons like Peppa Pig were being used for indoctrination? You couldn't even spot it unless you were watching closely The indoctrination is everywhere and in every-form. Don't wait until it's too late They are coming for your kids' innocence. Wake up and check what they are consuming


On Instagram, it’s 2020 all over again. Women, including many, many Christian women, are being completely duped by the anti-ICE propaganda. Believed the “ICE arrested a lone 5-year-old” completely. It’s demoralizing. I am working HARD in my DMs and posts and on my show trying to combat this nonsense and appeal to these women. However, I felt like I was the only white evangelical woman questioning BLM in 2020, and I don’t feel as alone now. There are more of us 5 years later, and I am grateful for that.

Some politicians say they want a “Christian Nation” until it comes to: Providing healthcare for the sick Funding food assistance for the hungry Raising the minimum wage for the poor They want to base our laws on the Bible until they read the words of Jesus.
