OpenAI has acquired NextSlide, an AI company specializing in presentations. NextSlide provides functionality that converts documents and business context into presentation slides.
OpenAI is reported to have acquired NextSlide, a startup specializing in presentation creation. NextSlide has technology that converts documents, prompts, business context and other fragments into complete, ready-to-use slide decks.
According to a LinkedIn post by the company’s co-founder Ahmed Beshri (アーメド・ベシュリ), NextSlide’s technology is currently being integrated into ChatGPT, potentially making the creation of AI-generated presentations far more efficient.
Presentation materials are an important part of the work performed across many professions, and tools that help users create clear materials without relying on design specialists already exist. The acquisition suggests a future in which these capabilities are integrated with ChatGPT, the core product built around OpenAI’s large language models.
ChatGPT already offers presentation-design features and plugins, and what the NextSlide acquisition will bring to the product will depend on future developments.
