Chronicle AI presentations starts at 100,000 user waiting list

Chronicle, the launch of the presentation with AI, founded by Mayuresh Patole and Tejas Gawande, opened to the public last week after months of secrecy and a waiting list that exceeded 100,000 users-including 10,000 businesses. Patole, a former management consultant and designer, describes Chronicle as “a modern form for narrative”, which makes much more than making the process faster. “The chronicle is quite different from PowerPoint in that the exit is no slip. It is a completely different form,” he said. “You can create a truly aggressive and stunning presentation in minutes instead of hours. Also ensure that you can’t create a bad presentation in the time.

Chronicle offers a free -form canvas and interactive widgets, with AI handling research, narrative flow and design execution. “It will not present you, but it will ensure that what you are presenting is beautiful and aggressive,” Patole said. The product also introduces features such as Peek and Deep Hover, which allow presenters to magnify, highlight or isolate content to guide the public’s attention.

Users start by registering at chroniclehq.com, where they can either start with a blank canvas or create a text -paste plan, uploading a PDF or sharing a link. Chronicle’s AI analyzes the entrance, proposes an outline and brings together a presentation design consisting of widgets – models for text, images, charts and integrated media. Each widget is pre-engineer for design and movement, so that even non-designers can create visually urgent, interactive presentations. Users can carry, fall and rearrange widgets, exchange the provisions immediately and use keyboard shortcuts for speed. AI agent is always available for research, re -registration or Remix content and the result is a presentation that moves more like a website than a traditional deck. When it is over, users can share a link, present live or export their work.

Patole’s obsession with presentations and Gawande’s background in social media and development shapes the company’s approach. “Modern audiences are trained by social media to expect information that is visual, sweeping and high,” Gawande said. Chronicle’s goal is to make it impossible to create a bad deck, not just to accelerate the process. “The problem is that it is extremely difficult to make great presentations, but at the same time it is extremely easy to do bad.”

Despite the dominance of PowerPoint and Canva, who use both in their own ways to help produce the deck, the sector is full of alternatives such as beauty design and narrative. Chronicle’s most direct competitor is Gamma, which also uses AI to make presentations from text prompts. They claim to have fifty million users and $ 50 million in annual repetitive revenue.

Chronicle’s 100,000 users’ waiting list includes 10,000 businesses acquired organically. “We saw the interest in exploding with zero marketing.” This answer was humiliating and tells us how desperate people are for a better way of communicating ideas. “

Chronicle has raised $ 7.5 million in 2023 from Accel, Square Peg and Angels from Apple, Google, Meta, Slack, Stripe and Adobe. Patole says focus now is to build a world -class product and the expansion of access: “We want to find our first faithful, our champions, our ambassadors and then go deep into solving their problems.

Chronicle plans to generate revenue with a Freemium Saas business model by offering free access to people and paid designs for groups and businesses. As Patole puts it, “the way you present may be the difference between victory and loss, between standing out and mixing. For this time it is built for those who refuse to settle for moderation.”
