The agenda slide nobody reads
AI decks love a contents page that restates the outline. If the talk is twelve minutes, skip it. Put the first claim on slide one.
MagicSlides can generate an agenda because outlines have sections. You still have to delete the slide that only exists to look like a “real” deck.
Time is the test
A 40-minute class can keep a map. A status update cannot. If you will not speak the agenda, it is decoration.
Slide titles should already be claims. A contents list of those claims is a second outline. Pick one.
Regenerate is cheaper than defending it
If a stakeholder wants the agenda, add one slide. Do not rebuild the deck. MagicSlides is for an editable first pass, not a locked ceremony.
Frequently asked questions
What about workshops?
Workshops need a map. Put times on it. An agenda without times is still a contents page.
Should I hide it in speaker notes?
Yes if it is only for you. Notes are the right place for a running order.
