OpenAI Acquires NextSlide to Turn ChatGPT into a PowerPoint Rival
OpenAI
OpenAI is acquiring NextSlide, a startup that converts prompts or notes into PowerPoint presentations within seconds. This move signals OpenAI's intention to make ChatGPT a direct competitor to PowerPoint.
NextSlide allowed users to provide three ideas to a chatbot and receive a PowerPoint presentation in seconds. Founder Ahmed Beshry built the tool to take a prompt, a research document, or unstructured notes and produce a ready-to-present slide deck. The tool was operational and had market demand. OpenAI's acquisition aims to integrate these capabilities into ChatGPT, positioning it as a rival to PowerPoint.
