Meet Generative Presentations V2: How to Make Your Best Work in Tome

There’s never enough time to produce polished, nuanced work that packs a punch. That’s why we’ve given Tome’s generative presentation experience a revamp so you can shape and express your ideas more powerfully, with even more control.

We’ll share ways to create great starting points with AI, delve into the new presentation experience, and share specific examples of how to use Tome for any presentation need, whether that's sales, marketing, or for an entrepreneurial endeavor. Let’s jump in.

Distill ideas quickly with AI

Before honing your presentation, create a strong starting point with an effective prompt. You can begin with a brief prompt (think a sentence with a few details), or write complex prompts (a few sentences with more context).

From there, Tome’s AI lets you quickly generate outlines to help you refine your points. You can easily reorder or remove sections in the outline phase until you shape what works for you.

Build narrative structures with control

Now that you have some background, you’re ready to begin creating content and building on your ideas. Here’s how to get started:

• Click Create in the upper right of your workspace
• In the command bar, type your prompt.
  • You can specify the desired number of pages in your prompt, i.e., "Create a 7 page presentation about..."
• Hit return. Wait a moment as Tome's AI creates the outline for your presentation.
• If you like what you see and are ready to view the full presentation right away, tap Generate all pages.

But if you're seeking different ways to express your presentation visually, this is where the (new) magic happens. In V1 of our presentation experience, Tome offered only one standard format for every page. Now in V2 of the presentation generation experience, you have multiple ways to direct page information and design.

You can also refine your presentation with even more specificity page-by-page. Here’s how:

• After your outline has been generated, tap the magenta Choose layouts → button.
• Tome’s AI generates four different page options.
  • Select the page content layout and design you like best.
• Click Next page → to get four new options to choose from, select one, and continue page-by-page until you’re finished.
• You’ll know the draft is done when the magenta Done ✓ button appears in the command bar.
