Introduction

Presentations plague the middle-class professional. Most bore audiences with wordy slides. But AI tools promise sharper results, faster. Let’s explore how.

The Birth of Bolt

StackBlitz unveiled Bolt at ViteConf 2024. This browser-based coding tool lets developers build web apps without local setup. Pair it with Slidev, a markdown slide creator, for rapid presentation development.

Tools Breakdown

Three key tools enable this approach:

1. Bolt: AI-powered web app creation in the browser

2. Slidev: Markdown-based slides with code support

3. Webcontainers: Browser-based Node.js for instant prototyping

Seven Steps to AI Presentation Mastery

Follow these steps to craft AI-powered presentations:

1. Open bolt.new in your browser.

2. Tell Bolt to make a presentation on your topic. Be specific. (add use Slidedev for it)

3. Review the Bolt-generated slides. Check content and flow.

4. Edit and refine.

5. Ask AI for help. Request additional slides, examples, or transitions.

6. Add code snippets and diagrams.

7. Deploy to Netlify with one click.

Why This Method Works

This approach offers several advantages:

• Speed: Bolt jumpstarts content creation.
• Ease: No software to install.
• Flexibility: Make real-time adjustments.
• Collaboration: Share works-in-progress easily.
• Quality: Built-in themes ensure polish.
