## Quick answer

This workflow helps turn scattered notes into a coherent narrative, then converts that narrative into a polished deck structure with visuals.

## When to use it

- Investor pitch decks

## Steps

1. **Collect raw material** — Gather founder notes, customer quotes, market stats, product screenshots, and competitor observations in one document. Tool: Notion. Expected output: A single source document for the deck.
2. **Create the narrative** — Ask AI to turn the raw material into a slide-by-slide story with problem, insight, solution, proof, business model, and next ask. Tool: ChatGPT. Expected output: A pitch deck outline.
3. **Generate visual concepts** — Turn complex ideas, workflows, market maps, and before-after comparisons into simple visuals. Tool: Napkin AI. Expected output: Draft diagrams and visual assets.
4. **Build the deck** — Import the outline into a deck builder, apply a clean layout, then manually tighten copy and visual hierarchy. Tool: Gamma. Expected output: A polished first version of the deck.
