Recipe: Keynote talk outline writer

Generate a structured, high-impact keynote outline from a raw topic or rough notes. Meridian shapes your ideas into a narrative arc with opening hook, three-act body, and memorable close.

Ingredients

  • Talk title or working topic
  • Audience profile (technical, executive, mixed)
  • Time slot (15, 30, or 45 minutes)
  • One core takeaway you want the audience to remember

Output structure

  1. Opening hook — story, stat, or question (first 90 seconds)
  2. Act I — Setup — frame the problem, why it matters now
  3. Act II — Build — key insights, evidence, counterpoints
  4. Act III — Payoff — resolution, actionable takeaways
  5. Close — call to action, echo the hook, end on emotion

Pro tip

Paste a rough transcript or bullet list of scattered thoughts. Meridian will find the through-line and build the arc for you.
