Are You Mass-Producing Generic Documents? TechTrain Launches 'AI-Utilized Slide Creation Training' Adopted by a Major Manufacturing Group

TechTrain (TechBowl Inc., Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director & CEO: Masao Ozawa, hereafter 'TechTrain'), which operates under the philosophy 'To be the terminal for everyone who supports technology', has provided its 'AI-Utilized Slide Creation Training' to a major manufacturing group company that is proactively engaging in advanced AI utilization in Japan.

This training focuses not merely on how to use tools, but on 'the ability to organize what needs to be communicated and shape it optimally using AI'. Participants experienced an end-to-end process from structural design and slide creation to final refinement.

■ Background of the Training's Development ### Why AI slide creation training is needed now Internal presentations, sales materials, external proposals—slide creation is required daily in the business world. However, in many organizations, creating materials relies on individual skills, placing a massive time burden on the person in charge.

In recent years, tools that create slides utilizing AI, such as Claude for PowerPoint and Figma MCP, have rapidly evolved. However, simply introducing these tools only results in the mass production of 'generic, AI-sounding documents', and does not solve the fundamental challenge of 'efficiently creating documents that truly communicate'. Given this background, we developed a practical training program that covers both the 'mindset' and the 'techniques' necessary for slide creation in the AI era.

■ Why the adopting company chose this training The company that adopted this training is known as one of the leading enterprises in AI utilization in Japan, having introduced AI assistants to all employees and achieving a reduction of hundreds of thousands of business hours annually. While a culture of integrating AI into daily operations has already taken root within the company, they recognized a specific challenge in slide creation: 'Even if we use AI, whether it results in a document that communicates well is a different matter'. Aiming to ensure that every single employee can utilize AI only after clarifying 'what they want to convey', rather than just mastering tool operations, they decided to adopt this training. Precisely because they are an organization active in AI utilization, this training addresses the higher-level challenge of 'We can use the tools. How do we enhance our communication skills beyond that?'

■ Overall design of the training: Polishing the manuscript before using tools The most significant feature of this training is that it emphasizes the process of improving the quality of the 'manuscript (what you want to convey)' before teaching slide creation tools. This is because the curriculum is structured based on the insight that 'the quality of a slide is determined at the manuscript stage, not by the tool'.

The training proceeds in the following 3 steps.

- Step 1: Structure the message you want to convey Based on the concept that 'presentation slides are like a picture story show', participants learn techniques to express messages through structure rather than just lining up sentences. Through bouncing ideas off AI, they polish 'what to convey and how' at the manuscript stage.

- Step 2: Select AI tools according to the purpose Claude for PowerPoint, Claude Skills (pptx generation), Marp, Slidev, Figma MCP, generation of Po via program
