  • User hasn't specified a particular theme
  • Use case is not clear
  • Only vague instructions like "make it look good"
  • Training/seminar purposes

Suggesting Multiple Themes

Suggest 2-3 themes concisely in these cases:

  • User asks "Which one is best?"
  • Content allows for multiple options
  • First-time user seems uncertain

Example suggestion: "I recommend the following themes for this presentation:

  1. Business-like: Formal impression
  2. Default: Well-balanced all-purpose Which would you prefer?"
