Build a sourced slide deck from a short brief
Consultant Gonçalo Perdigão tested Manus Slides with a deliberately vague brief: a deck on generative AI and trends for 2025, accurate and sourced, in UK English. Manus made a plan, pulled material from sources such as Microsoft and Morgan Stanley and built 16 slides with a consistent design. He calls it the best slide builder he has tried, but the figures in the deck should still be checked against the sources.

How to do it
- Paste the prompt into the tool, and replace the text in brackets with your own.
- Read the answer through. Do not send, delete or publish anything until you have seen it yourself.
- Check the original before you trust a figure, a name or a date.
Try it with Manus
Make a presentation about [topic] for [audience] in [language]. Use only sources you can link to, and put the source under every figure. Keep a simple, consistent design in [colours or template]. Show me the outline and the source list before you build the slides. You are done when the deck can be downloaded as [format] and every figure has a source I can open and read myself.
