Want to use Slido at your upcoming meeting, but don’t have much time to prepare? Let Slido help with AI-Generated polls in Host mode.
In Slido Host mode, you’ll find an AI prompt where you can share details about your upcoming meeting. Slido AI uses the information you share there to generate polls specific to your needs. And it only takes a few seconds!

Tips and best practices
Just like any AI prompt, it’s best to be direct with what you’re asking. With that in mind, here are our tips for getting the most out of Slido’s AI-Generated interactions from shared info.
- Be clear and concise: We recommend prompts between 15-30 words. This allows you to share a clear purpose and topic for your poll(s), while not going too deep into the details. Long sentences with multiple clauses and objectives won’t provide the best results.
- Provide context after stating the purpose: Explain your topic and purpose first, then share your additional context. For example, “Create polls that measure how confident my participants feel about using AI tools. I’m presenting these at a team meeting.”
- Regarding tone, stay neutral: For best results, use factual language and avoid overly conversational or emotional phrasing. Use verbs like generate, assess, create, find out, etc. And avoid ones like want, make people, let’s discuss, etc.
