USE-CASES FOR DAILY LIFE
👤 Use-Case Examples by Role
Tome AI empowers a wide range of users, from freelancers to students, to communicate complex ideas with minimal effort.
Let’s explore how different roles can use Tome to simplify work, impress clients, and communicate more clearly.
👨🏽💻 Freelancers
Use Case: Pitching a new service
Tome helps freelancers create sleek pitch decks for clients without needing graphic design skills. Whether you’re a copywriter, web developer, or virtual assistant, you can turn your offering into a compelling visual story in minutes.
Example: A freelancer offering LinkedIn ghostwriting creates a deck titled “Why Personal Branding Matters,” with stats, testimonials, and package options — all auto-structured by Tome.
🧑🏽🎓 Students and Learners
Use Case: Class presentations or project summaries
Instead of fumbling with PowerPoint or Google Slides, students can use Tome to build visually-rich project decks just by typing a paragraph of their research. It’s especially helpful for non-designers or those working on tight deadlines.
Example: A student summarizes a marketing case study using Tome and embeds a TikTok clip for engagement.
🧑🏼💼 Startup Founders
Use Case: Investor or partner pitches
Founders often struggle with formatting slides. Tome allows them to focus on their ideas while AI handles the visual presentation. It generates slide flows like: Problem → Solution → Market Size → Business Model.
Example: A health-tech founder builds an 8-slide deck for a $20K seed funding round in under 10 minutes.
👩🏾🏫 Educators & Course Creators
Use Case: Online course lessons or video scripts
Tome helps educators lay out a mini-course module with consistent flow. Each slide can become a lesson step, and the AI can help script text and visuals that feel engaging.
Example: A productivity coach builds a “5-Day Morning Routine Challenge” using Tome, then repurposes it into social media content.
👩🏼🔧 Product Designers & Creatives
Use Case: Showcasing portfolio work
Designers can present case studies or product mockups with ease. Tome’s embedded Figma and live web content features help clients see designs in real time.
Example: A UX designer walks clients through a redesign case study with animated screen mockups directly inside the presentation.
🧠 What Makes Tome AI Different?
Unlike slide tools that require building block-by-block, Tome thinks like a storyteller. It’s more like ChatGPT + Canva for presentations. Here’s what sets it apart:
-
Narrative-first approach: The AI prioritizes storytelling logic — not just visuals.
-
Fast iteration: You can reword slides or restructure your pitch with one click.
-
Live updates: Any change reflects across devices instantly, perfect for remote teams.
With Tome, you’re not just creating slides — you’re communicating vision and value at speed.

ADVANCED PROMPT STRATEGY (PART 1)
🧠 Prompt Engineering 101
📍 Why Prompts Matter in Tome AI
At the heart of Tome AI’s power is the prompt box — your gateway to commanding slide layouts, persuasive flow, and client-ready results. But generic prompts yield generic decks. If you want to stand out, you need to master prompt stacking and smart role-based cues.
The more context you provide, the better your outcome. And the best part? You can reuse, remix, and resell your best-performing prompt formulas across industries.
🧠 Prompt Structuring Formula:
[Goal] + [Context] + [Tone] + [Slide Flow] + [Special Instruction]
Let’s break that down:
-
Goal: “Build a pitch deck to raise funding.”
-
Context: “This is for a women-led fashion startup targeting Gen Z.”
-
Tone: “Inspiring and confident, with modern language.”
-
Slide Flow: “Problem, Solution, Market Size, Product, Testimonials, CTA.”
-
Special Instruction: “Include strong visual slide suggestions and add a stats graphic.”
🔄 Prompt Example for a Fitness Coach:
“Create a 7-slide pitch deck for a personal fitness coach launching a remote training program. Make it inspiring, include transformation photos, client testimonials, pricing breakdown, and a final call-to-action. Target audience is women aged 30–45. Use a bold, friendly tone and include title suggestions for each slide.”
This generates a complete deck that sells, not just explains.
🔁 Stack and Save:
If a prompt works well, save it in your “AI Prompt Vault.” Later, change just the context (fitness → skincare, or startups → resume services), and re-run it to scale your offerings without reinventing the wheel.
💼 BONUS: Role-Based Prompt Seeds
-
Startup Founder: “Pitch to investors, focus on TAM/SAM/SOM and ROI.”
-
Freelancer: “Showcase services, experience, and packages with testimonials.”
-
Course Creator: “Highlight student outcomes, modules, and price tiers.”
-
NGO: “Emphasize impact stories, funding needed, and donation CTA.”
🎯 Result: Custom decks that sound like you (or your client), not AI templates.
ADVANCED PROMPT STRATEGY (PART 2)
💼 Case Study: 🔥 Build a Prompt Chain
🔍 Case Study: Sarah, a Startup Pitch Consultant
Profile: Sarah helps early-stage startups craft investor-ready decks. She uses Tome AI to speed up her workflow and deliver polished decks in under 2 hours.
🧠 Her Prompt Chain Strategy:
Sarah doesn’t just write one prompt and call it a day. She breaks her flow into layered prompts, refining each slide or section with precision.
Here’s how her Prompt Chain works for a startup raising seed funding:
✅ Prompt 1 – Foundation:
“Create a 10-slide pitch deck for a startup creating AI-powered farm sensors. Tone: visionary, yet grounded. Audience: impact investors. Slides: Problem, Solution, Market, Traction, Team, Financials, CTA.”
Result: A rough draft with placeholder content.
✅ Prompt 2 – Deepen Specific Slide (Problem Slide):
“Rewrite the problem slide to sound urgent and impactful. Include 2 real-world farmer challenges, and a visual stat or data point.”
Result: Stronger storytelling with emotional impact and industry data.
✅ Prompt 3 – Visual Refinement:
“Add design suggestions for each slide, including image ideas and layout notes. Keep the flow consistent and clean.”
Result: Now the deck feels branded, intentional, and client-ready.
🔁 Refinement Prompts (Optional Add-Ons):
-
“Give me 3 different versions of the CTA slide.”
-
“Make the Team slide more persuasive by including founder accolades.”
-
“Suggest a one-line pitch headline for slide 1 and 10.”
🧩 Her Secret?
Sarah reuses this prompt chain for every client. All she does is change the context (e.g., “farm sensors” → “remote therapy app”).
She delivers custom decks that impress investors — with half the effort.
✨ Key Takeaways:
-
Prompt chaining creates depth, polish, and personalization.
-
Each prompt focuses on a single outcome.
-
The final result sounds handcrafted, not AI-generated.
