Examples are disclosed that relate to providing transition-related assistance during a presentation. One example provides a method comprising, during a rehearsal of a presentation, receiving content of the presentation. Based on the content received, a transition within the presentation is determined via a machine learning model. During a performance of the presentation, the transition is automatically enacted.

Rehearsal-based presentation assistance

In a device including a processor and a memory, the memory includes executable instructions that cause the processor to control the device to perform functions of receiving a user input to initiate a conversation session for generating an outline for a writing; generating a voice output asking a question regarding the writing; receiving a voice input from the user responding to the voice output; identifying, based on the received voice input, content of the voice input responding to the voice output; repeating, until a predetermined condition is met, the steps of generating the voice output, receiving the voice input, and identifying the content of the voice input, wherein the question asked via each voice output is generated in response to the content of the voice input responding to the preceding voice output; and generating, based on the content of the voice inputs, the outline for the writing.
