What is Chronicle?

Chronicle converts notes, docs, data and existing decks into editable, brand-consistent presentations with charts, templates and real-time collaboration. Export to PPT, PDF or web. Aimed at sales, consulting and leadership teams that need polished business decks rather than quick throwaway slides.

Chronicle is an AI presentation tool built for people who have to stand behind their slides. It takes the material teams already produce (raw notes, outlines, meeting documents, data exports, existing decks) and assembles it into a single deck with professional diagrams, charts and visual layouts. The pitch is credibility rather than speed alone: the output is meant to survive a board meeting, a sales call or an investor update without looking machine-made. The workflow is deliberately loose at the start and structured later. A user pastes whatever source material exists, and Chronicle generates a first pass of slides. From there the product diverges from most one-shot generators: the deck lives on a freeform canvas, so layouts, visuals and positioning can be dragged and reworked directly, and further changes can be requested in natural language. Brand fonts, colours and visual rules can be loaded once so that every slide generated across a team stays consistent. Chart and table blocks handle metrics, and the finished deck can be presented inside Chronicle, exported to PPT or PDF, or published as a website. The target audience is business rather than creative: sales teams writing tailored proposals, consultants building strategy deliverables, product and marketing groups producing roadmaps and campaign plans, and leadership teams assembling board or investor narratives. The template library is organised around those jobs and draws on designers and storytellers from Apple, McKinsey, BCG and IDEO, with the option to upload a company template instead. Real-time collaboration, shared templates and permission management point at team adoption rather than solo use. Compared with Gamma, Beautiful.ai, Google Slides, PowerPoint and Canva, Chronicle positions itself on design quality and editing freedom, and its own marketing leans on users who switched from Gamma. The home page cites more than 5000 teams, and the founding team's background at McKinsey, BCG and Apple is used as the quality argument. Pricing tiers are not published on the home page, so buyers should confirm plans directly before committing a team.

How do you use Chronicle?

  1. 1Gather your source material
    Collect the notes, outline, doc or existing deck you want to start from. Chronicle accepts several input types and merges them into a single deck.
  2. 2Generate the first draft
    Submit the material and let Chronicle produce a full set of slides with diagrams and visuals. Layouts are chosen to fit the content type.
  3. 3Apply brand guidelines
    Load your company fonts, colours and visual rules so generated slides match existing materials. Teams can reuse the same setup for consistency.
  4. 4Refine on the canvas
    Adjust layouts, reposition elements and request further changes in plain language. The freeform canvas keeps everything editable rather than locked.
  5. 5Add data and collaborate
    Insert charts, tables and metrics, then invite colleagues to edit, share templates or set permissions on the deck.
  6. 6Present or export
    Run the deck inside Chronicle, then export to PPT or PDF, or publish it as a website depending on the audience.
