Great speeches follow proven structures. AI helps you build compelling narratives whether you're pitching investors, keynoting a conference, or giving a toast.
Speech Structures That Work
- Problem → Solution → Call to Action: Classic persuasion framework
- Hook → Story → Lesson → Bridge → CTA: Storytelling format
- What → So What → Now What: Simple three-act structure
- Situation → Complication → Resolution: McKinsey-style business narrative
- Chronological Journey: Past → Present → Future vision
AI Prompts for Speech Writing
- "Write a 5-minute keynote opening about AI in healthcare. Start with a patient story, introduce a surprising statistic, then bridge to my thesis."
- "Rewrite this paragraph for a live audience — shorter sentences, more conversational, with a rhetorical question."
- "Generate 5 analogies that explain blockchain to a non-technical audience."
Story Mining
AI helps you find stories in your experience: • "Interview me about my career — ask questions to surface stories I can use in talks" • "Take this anecdote and structure it with setup, tension, and payoff" • "Suggest where to add humor or surprise in this narrative"
