How I Built a 17-Slide Partnership Deck in Under 10 Minutes with Claude Code
I just had Claude Code build me a 17-slide partnership deck in under 10 minutes. Not only would I have built something worse, it would have taken me 2-3 hours. The process was laughably simple and can be used for any partnership or sales conversation.
Table of Contents
The Setup
I fed Claude 4 relevant files:
-
Call transcript from previous meeting with partner (this anchored the deck in the key goals and points around the partnership)
-
Previous partnership proposal (to draw inspiration from the format and sections)
-
A markdown file with my thoughts on the partnership (what a win-win would look like, what value we can bring to a partner, etc)
-
A pdf breaking down our media strategy to think about how a partner can be plugged in
The Prompt
I fed it this prompt:
I’m meeting with the [redacted] today as a follow-up conversation about a potential partnership together. The team is expecting a clear and actionable proposal for what this partnership could look like. The team we’ll be speaking with includes: [redacted]. Use the files in the [redacted] folder on my desktop to formulate a one-pager that outlines what a win-win partnership between Tenex & [redacted] could look like. Ask me any clarifying questions as you build out the one-pager partnership doc.
The Refinement
It asked me clarifying questions. It then nearly one-shotted the proposal. But I wanted to punch up the design, so I fed it this prompt:
I want you to play the role of world class product designer. Take a look at the proposal and score the design and format of this proposal and what specific tweaks you’d make.
The Result
Proposal absolutely nailed.
This is one of many high ROI AI use cases that can save you hours of work. If you’re still struggling to make AI work for you, it might be time to stop playing AI on hard mode.
Final Thoughts
To recap: feed Claude your relevant context files, give it a clear prompt about what you need, answer its clarifying questions, and let it iterate on the design. What used to take hours now takes minutes.
The key is giving AI the right inputs. Call transcripts, previous proposals, your own notes, and strategy docs create the foundation for something you’d actually use.
Try this process for your next partnership or sales conversation.
