Improve your speech writing with AI

Outline your speech with AI

If you’re unsure where to start, brainstorm writing ideas and generate outlines with generative AI to guide the structure of your speech. By making an outline using AI, you free up time to focus on practicing your speech instead of getting sidelined by the details. For example, if your speech covers the benefits of physical activity, ask AI to “create an outline for a speech that highlights the main benefits of exercise.” This approach lets you organize your ideas, set a clear direction, and save time on structuring your presentation.

Add subpoints to your speech

After establishing your main points, ask AI to suggest subpoints for each example. For instance, if your speech covers physical activity, tell AI to “create subpoints about exercise and heart health.” These added subpoints make your speech more informative and compelling, allowing you to delve deeper into key topics. In addition to adding authority to your lecture, AI helps you transition between topics smoothly, ensuring your speech flows logically.

Check your speech for grammar

Make a lasting impression with a clear and error-free speech. Upload your speech to a generative AI tool and request a list of suggested edits. By refining your grammar, AI helps ensure that your speech leaves a professional impression on your audience. Along with spotting grammar issues, AI recommends changes to enhance the flow, structure, and syntax of your speech. Try it yourself by asking AI to “review my upcoming wedding speech and provide a list of suggested improvements.”

Craft persuasive opening and closing sentences

If you’re delivering a speech on a pressing social issue, make your voice heard by opening and closing your speech with powerful, attention-grabbing phrases. Use generative AI to create impactful opening and closing lines that inspire your audience to care about your cause. For example, if you’re discussing sustainability efforts, ask AI to “write a motivational closing statement that encourages the audience to adopt sustainable practices.” AI will suggest a powerful call-to-action to inspire listeners to start living more sustainably.

Find the right words with AI

Prevent your speech from becoming repetitive with AI tools. If you’ve used the same word or phrase multiple times in your speech, AI suggests alternate phrases that convey the same meaning. For example, if you’re overusing the word “very,” ask AI to “suggest synonyms for the word ‘very’ to make sentences more descriptive.” If you’re stuck on phrasing, AI generates options that fit your ideas, helping you save time and overcome writer’s block.

From organizing your ideas to polishing your phrasing, AI tools give you the support you need to deliver a quality speech. Embrace AI as your writing companion and captivate your target audience with a speech that resonates.
