Chronicle is your AI-powered design partner for presentations. Turn notes, prompts, or existing decks into beautiful, on-brand slides in minutes. It asks a few questions, builds an impressive first draft, and lets you refine slides through conversation.
A few months ago you helped Chronicle become #1 Product of the Month, and later #4 Product of the Year. Since then, the product has grown to 200k+ users. With that, came a huge amount of honest feedback. Hundreds of you told us where Chronicle worked, where it didn’t, and where it could be much better. We read all of it.
Today, we're excited to launch Chronicle 2.0 to all of you! Chronicle turns notes, prompts, or existing slide decks into stunning, on-brand presentations, generates an impressive first draft, and lets you refine slides through conversation. There are a lot of AI presentation tools popping up right now. But most of them generate what we’ve started calling AI slide slop: generic layouts, messy structure, and decks you still have to spend hours fixing. Our ambition is simple: to build the best storytelling tool for teams.
Here are a few things I’m most excited for you to try:
✴️ Chronicle AI: Think of it as a slide design coworker. Give it anything: notes, a prompt, or a rough idea, and it builds an impressive first draft you can refine and iterate on together.
🖼️ Custom branding & themes: Dozens of beautiful templates with real design taste, plus full brand customization so teams can stay on-brand.
📊 Charts & graphs: You can now add and customize charts directly inside Chronicle. They automatically adapt to your presentation’s theme.
🗃️ Export to PowerPoint & PDF: One of the most requested features, now live.
🪄 Hundreds of world-class templates: Created by designers from places like Apple, IDEO, McKinsey and BCG.
Special thanks to @benln for hunting us. And honestly, thank you. The feedback from this community is the reason Chronicle 2.0 exists. As a small thank you, use code PHPRO this week for 1 month of free PRO on any new account.
We’re shipping updates every single day, and will be hanging out in the comments all day. We’d genuinely love your thoughts. What should we build next?
PS. We also have a Slack community where you can interact with the team directly, get early access to new features, and shape what we build next. Would love to see you there: chr.so/slackcommunity
Looks great! I was able to make our brand deck really easily. The interface worked well, it was easy to understand and it got me working quickly and seamlessly. The package came out very clean, I just wish that I could export it so that i could modify it in Figma. But this is great for people that dont have Figma and want to edit directly in the app.
Will be using it in the future!
Love how the charts look! With all other tools I've tried before, I've need to compromise one of design or data visualization for the other. The charts here look sexy af. It's amazing how much time is freed up when you don't have to start from scratch. And honestly, I don't see this as a tool to just craft a final deliverable - it's also augmented the ideation / reiteration process. Great job folks and looking forward to having my mind blown again!
The "without the AI slop" tagline is so good lol. That's literally the biggest complaint I hear from everyone trying AI presentation tools. Everything ends up looking the same generic corporate template.
Curious how much control you get over the output. Can you lock certain slides from being changed and just let AI handle the rest?
Always been a nerd for slides and I’ve been using Chronicle enough now for this to become my go-to-tool! @tejgw and team, keep killing it!
Congratulations on the launch! I have been using Chronicle for few weeks and love the range of beautiful decks and the use of AI.
Congrats on the launch! 🚀
The combo of AI generation + full editing control is interesting a lot of tools lean heavily one way or the other. Starting from just a prompt or rough notes and getting on-brand slides that you can still properly tweak sounds like a big time saver. Curious how does Chronicle handle brand consistency (fonts, colors, templates) across different decks?
There are so many smart design tool and presentation tools out there. Where I find most of them fall down is their ai tools to create imagery.
Hey team @Chronicle , huge congrats on 2.0 — and on turning all that feedback into such a big release. The focus on avoiding “AI slide slop” really resonates; most tools feel fast but leave you with decks you’d never ship without a full redesign.
I’m especially curious about Chronicle AI as a “design coworker.” How does it adapt to different storytelling styles over time — for example, a data-heavy board deck vs a narrative-heavy sales pitch? Does it learn from the edits teams make, or is it more prompt-by-prompt today?
"AI presentations without the AI slop" is a great tagline and a real problem worth solving. The conversational refinement approach feels like the right way to do it instead of one-shot generation. Are you seeing teams use it more for building decks from scratch or cleaning up existing ones?
Congrats on the 2.0! Everything is looking really solid. I’ve spent 15+ years in product design and the biggest issue with generated slides is usually the lack of 'intentional' white space (something that usually falls apart the second it leaves a designer's hands!). Looks like you’ve really focused on the structural side of things here.
Question: How much control does the user have over the underlying grid system once the AI generates the initial layout? Looking forward to playing with this! 🚀
Congrats on the launch @tejgw and the team. Really love your product!!!
Congrats on the PH launch! The product quality improvement is so massive over last few months - excited to see what's next!
I really like how Chronicle is focused on how information flows throughout the deck. Especially since a slidedeck is meant to tell a story.
Are there ways to give further context to Chronicle such as the specific target audience, tone, or even the type of narrative/story I want my slides to convey? For example, "a startup pitch deck that is meant to be playful but concise and to the point for investors"
