Start Presentations Strong
The first 30 seconds determine if people listen or tune out. AI helps you craft openings that grab attention.
Works with:
Example Prompt
I need a strong opening for my presentation about: [TOPIC]. Audience: [WHO]. Tone: [FORMAL/CONVERSATIONAL/PROVOCATIVE]. What I want them to feel: [EMOTION TO EVOKE]. Create 3 different opening options: a story hook, a surprising statistic, and a provocative question.
Pro Tip
Never start with "Today I'm going to talk about..." That's the fastest way to lose attention.
