Speech for a defence, event or toast with AI

A speech is a text to deliver aloud, such as a thesis defence speech, a conference talk, a debate, a graduation address, a welcome or a toast.

Students, teachers and employees all need them, and each occasion calls for its own tone and length.

What it contains

Typical structure

  1. Header
  2. Opening and address
  3. Main point 1
  4. Main point 2
  5. Main point 3 (and 4)
  6. Closing and thanks

Length and format

Speeches are sized at about 120–130 words per minute. Without a set time, a defence or conference speech is usually 7–10 minutes, a speaking assignment 3–5 minutes and a toast 1–2 minutes.

The text is set in large 16 pt type, aligned left with short paragraphs, so it is easy to read from the page.

How the AI agent helps

  1. Enter the occasion, the audience, your role and the time you have.
  2. Attach your thesis and slides for a defence, or facts about the people and event for a ceremony.
  3. The AI agent writes for the ear, with signposts and cues for slides or pauses.
  4. Rehearse aloud and adjust the wording until it sounds like you.

Questions and answers

Can it write my diploma defence speech?

Yes. Attach your diploma project, and the speech follows its goal, tasks, results and conclusions, with references to your slides.

Will it make up personal stories?

No. Where a personal detail would help, it leaves a placeholder such as [a shared memory] for you to fill in.

Does it work for toasts and greetings?

Yes. Ceremonial speeches are warm and personal and can include accurately quoted proverbs or lines from poets.

How do I know how long it will take?

The estimated speaking time is shown at the top of the document.
