Your idea is bulletproof. But it's worthless if you can't sell it.
Most designers fail at the pitch. They ramble, they list features, and they lose the room. A director doesn't. This is the play for structuring a persuasive, 5-minute presentation that gets a 'yes'.
The 3-Act Pitch Play
1. The Briefing: Provide your AI with your problem, user, and solution.
2. The Script: Command the AI to structure it into a tight, 3-act narrative.
3. The Performance: The AI writes the words; you deliver them with conviction.
The 'Pitch Play' Prompt
(Copy the text below, replace the parts in [brackets], and paste it into your AI tool of choice.)
Act as a world-class pitch coach. My mission is to deliver a persuasive 5-minute presentation to [My Audience, e.g., my design professor] that sells my project.
Project Data:
Problem:
[Paste your refined problem statement]User:
[Describe your target user]Solution:
[Summarize your concept]
Now, generate a concise script. Structure it into these three acts:
1. Act I: The Problem (60 seconds). Start with a powerful hook that makes the audience feel the user's pain.
2. Act II: The Solution (3 minutes). Introduce my concept as the clear answer. Explain how my design solves the pain points. Cue 2-3 key visuals.
3. Act III: The Vision (60 seconds). End with a strong, forward-looking statement. Summarize the impact and next steps.
Director's Note
The AI gives you the words, but you must provide the conviction. A script is a tool, not a crutch. Your passion is what sells the idea, not the words on the screen.
Before & After
Let's use our fictional e-bike service.
The 'Before' (A typical, unfocused opening):
"Hi, so my project is about a subscription e-bike service. I did a lot of research and found that safety is a big problem, so I designed an app..."
The 'After' (A snippet from the AI-scripted hook):
"Act I: The Problem. For thousands of female students in Pune, the day doesn't end when classes do. It ends with a question: 'How do I get home safely?' The last mile of their journey is a well-documented zone of anxiety. This isn't a transportation problem; it's a barrier to their freedom."
P.S. You delivered a killer pitch and got the 'yes'. A student would celebrate. A director immediately answers the next question: "What's the plan?"
Next week, we run The AI Project Manager Play: The framework for turning your greenlit idea into a professional project plan in minutes.
