Hey Product Hunt 🙋🏻
I've dreamt of writing this message for years, and today I am excited to finally introduce Chronicle to you.
Chronicle is the Cursor for slides.
We are aware that there are a lot of presentation tools out there. And honestly, none of them hit the mark. Slide tools make you do too much work by putting the design burden on you. Meanwhile, AI tools are oversimplified and make you look like you haven’t done any work. They are not designed for serious work use cases.
Chronicle enables you to make stunning presentations. No design skills required.
We have crafted an opinionated tool that combines AI with taste → helping you deliver stunning stories effortlessly. Where writing, visual design, and interactivity come together seamlessly, freeing you from pixel-pushing so your best ideas can truly shine.
Chronicle is born out of our own a decade-long love affair with presentations. We have combined decades of storytelling experience from places like BCG, McKinsey, Apple, IDEO to ensure you can make stellar slides effortlessly.
Here are some of my favourite things about Chronicle →
💞 Remix - remix is a fundamentally different way of designing. Chronicle uses AI to turn your raw thoughts, bullets to a stunning, pixel perfect page. Cycle through any outputs as Chronicle perfectly designs, aligns and writes the content to fit the need.
🍱 Widgets - widgets are pre-designed interactive components that are building blocks on Chronicle. Today we are releasing a small portion of a much larger set we are working on. Tell us what is missing and we will build it.
🪭 Embeds - open a window into any of the 100s of tools you use or any part of the internet simply by pasting a link. Turn it into an interactive embed to bring it to life.
🤯 Attention guidance - when presenting, hold down ⌘ and hover over widgets to direct your audience’s attention. Click to peek inside the widget.
Chronicle is built for serious presentations at work - with the depth and granularity that you need while ensuring it is simple. It’s early days, and we won’t be perfect immediately (e.g. we are not optimised for mobile right now). But we are committed to iterating fast and building what matters.
We are giving away 2 months free for the lovely Product Hunt community.
Over the last year we have been iterating with thousands of you who have been kind enough to give us feedback. Thank you for your support and excited for you all to try it ✌️
What story will you be telling with Chronicle today?
Chronicle
@mayuresh_patole super proud and happy to be on this ride with you and the team - still so stoked that we get to care so deeply about this product and problem space and come up with solutions together ❤️
Velt
Seriously impressive. Turning a prompt into a finished deck is almost magical. It’s smooth, fast, and just works. Plus, the little details? Total chef’s kiss. You can tell the team poured love into this.
Chronicle
@itsmiri_ thankyou! Appreciate the support!
Chronicle
Thank you so much@itsmiri_
Would love for you and the team to give the real time collab a spin and let me know what you think :)
Chronicle
@itsmiri_ Thanks a ton, Mihir! 🫶
We’ve spent the last three years fussing over those “chef’s-kiss” details so you don’t have to. Hearing that the prompt-to-deck flow felt smooth and fast makes all those late-night design debates worth it.
Any feedback on edge-cases, widgets, or polish helps us push the craft even further.
Appreciate the love and excited to see what you build with Chronicle!
Chronicle
@itsmiri_ Thank you for your support!

Love how easily Chronicle helps you turn rough ideas into beautifully crafted presentations. It’s not just AI throwing layouts together. Every output feels intentional. The Remix feature makes exploring directions effortless. You can tell the team has poured so much care and taste into this. A must-try!
Chronicle
@itsprade this means so much coming from you Pradeep. Appreciate the kind words and can’t wait for you to see what we’re doing next!
Chronicle
@itsprade you should be proud for having shaped a lot of this. Thanks for being on the journey :)
Hope you like how it has turned out!
Chronicle
@itsprade Thanks a ton, Pradeep! 🙌
Intentionality over generic AI content is exactly the bar we’ve set, so it’s a thrill to hear that coming through. We’re already cooking up deeper Storyline improvements and brand-aware layouts, and your insight would be gold. Appreciate the love!
Chronicle
@itsprade Thanks Pradeep, appreciate your support
Nonilion
Chronicle looks impressive. For teams that operate under strict brand and compliance guidelines, how does your AI balance speed with control—specifically, can administrators lock in approved colors, fonts, and layouts (and ensure data privacy) while still letting “Remix” generate fresh on-brand slides?
Chronicle
@lak7 Great question!
We are releasing custom branding very soon (literally testing it internally right now). This lets you set your company's fonts and colours. You will also be able to save layouts and templates very soon.
The best part is remix works seamlessly on top. This is because themes and remix work as completely independent layers.
Nonilion
@mayuresh_patole Damn, that’s seriously impressive — love the idea of themes and remix as independent layers. Seriously awesome and super excited for the custom branding release as it will help me a lot — can’t wait to try it out! 🔥
A great product, gonna use a lot!
Chronicle
@lak7 This means a lot, Lakshya, thank you! It's super motivating for the whole team to hear you're excited. We're working hard to get the custom branding release out soon. Stay tuned! 🔥
Chronicle
Chronicle
@lak7 this is a great question - and as we're about to release custom theming and branding to the product, I'd love to understand - is this something you'd want to lock down and control?
ie. brand designers or admins can only edit the theme, other creators can only choose pre-approved themes (color/font/logo/imagery) that is used to generate layouts
Nonilion
@clairetaylor Actually, in many companies and colleges, we have to stick to specific templates with set fonts, colors, logos, and layouts, etc. So having an option to control those things and simply create presentations with those things locked down would be helpful.
Chronicle
@lak7 agree - we're building themes so that it lives in the workspace settings, you can create a theme and set it as a default for all new documents - that way you've got control over how presentations look.
Are there any other aspects of a presentation styling that you'd like to be able to set as part of a theme? other than colors, fonts, logos and layouts?
Graphy
One of the most anticipated launches, and you absolutely delivered. Worth the wait! 🚀
Chronicle
@andreyv thankyou! we’re big fans of graphy and they look so good embedded in chronicle. Would love to collaborate more with you and your team!
Graphy
@clairetaylor we'd love that too, Claire.
Chronicle
@andreyv we are huge fans of @Graphy so it is extra special hearing this from you. Lots of amazing things in store - including making it easier to add Graphy charts and embeds in Chronicle.
PS: Graphy charts look stunning in Chronicle :)
Graphy
@mayuresh_patole so beautiful 😍
Chronicle
@andreyv Andrey, that means a lot coming from you!
Your team sets the bar for seamless data viz, and Graphy embeds have already saved us hours of copy-paste pain. Our users love pulling live charts straight into Chronicle, so the feeling is mutual.
Let’s keep the momentum going. Keen to explore deeper hooks soon. Big thanks for cheering us on!
Graphy
@tejgw 🙌
Liveblocks
You've built an awesome AI presentation tool with Liveblocks.
I like how it turns rough ideas into slick presentations, and of course that is has all the collaborative features you expect from a modern tool.
Chronicle
@stevenfabre it’s been so seamless using @Liveblocks. Thanks for the support!
Chronicle
@stevenfabre thanks a ton!
been such an amazing experience building with @Liveblocks - excited for all the new things we have planned :)
Chronicle
@stevenfabre Hey Steven, thank you so much! We're incredibly proud to have built Chronicle with Liveblocks at the core of our collaboration stack.
It’s the best toolkit out there for building real-time experiences, and we're thrilled you like how we've implemented it.
Chronicle
👋 Hey Product Hunt, Tejas here - the other half of the “presentation nerd” duo behind Chronicle.
Here's a bit more about where we are today and how we got here:
A real-time, free-form canvas: That decision took years of pain and rebuilds, but it lets our AI act like a creative partner instead of a slide vending machine. Move anything, restyle with themes, and keep the soul of your story intact
100k+ people off the waitlist: Last week we opened the flood gates. Founders fine-tuning pitch decks, chiefs of staff prepping board meetings, professors rethinking lectures. Their feedback continues to shape attention tools in Chronicle like Peek and Deep Hover so viewers stay locked on the message
Quality over quantity: We’d rather help you craft one unforgettable deck than crank out a hundred mediocre ones. Early adopters are cutting creation time from ten hours to ten minutes without sacrificing taste
Today is day-one which means the real work starts now. We’d love to hear:
Which workflows or widgets would save you the most friction?
What’s still missing for high-stakes moments like board meetings or demos?
Drop your critiques and wildest wishes below. Many of our best ideas began as a community comment exactly like that. Thanks for giving Chronicle a spin. Your ideas deserve pixel-perfect storytelling 🚀
You can also join our Slack community to get the latest updates and work closely with the team.

Chronicle
@tejgw I am so glad we started this company together and we have come so far :)
Very excited for what's next!
Love the focus on turning raw ideas into refined, presentation-ready narratives with both structure and style. The blend of AI workflows and collaboration tools makes it a powerful asset for thoughtful teams.
Chronicle
@supa_l Thanks a ton!
We are particularly excited by how you can start with a set of rough ideas and Chronicle will turn it into polished presentations.
Chronicle
@supa_l appreciate the kind words and support! We often use the word "thoughtful" when trying to describe how we want the product to feel when using it - so good to hear that comes through!
Invisibility
Been a long time coming and glad to see Chronicle launch!
Chronicle
@connorjewiss thanks mate. Its been a wild journey - and so proud to finally release!
Chronicle
@connorjewiss thankyou! Appreciate the support ❤️
Chronicle
@connorjewiss thank you for the ongoing support! <3
Chronicle
@connorjewiss Thank you, Connor! We appreciate the support! 🙌
Intercom
Chronicle solves the "blank canvas" problem – so easy to just get started with turning rough and unstructured ideas into something coherent and easy to build off from.
Chronicle
@kaiforsyth thankyou! We’ve got a long way to go but think we’re onto something special with our AI powered presentation generation.
Chronicle
@kaiforsyth thanks so much man!
I think the templates flow we are releasing soon is gonna be even more epic. Lets you pick a slick template, asks you a handful of questions and then generates the pages in a click.
Spiritory
I like the AI-driven workflows and smart templates.
Chronicle
@andy_wong4 thanks so much.
We have some really exciting stuff coming very soon on templates that I think you will love. Here is a sneak peek:
Chronicle
@andy_wong4 Thanks for jumping in, Andy! 🙌
Those smart templates are designed to do two things:
1. Cut the blank-slide anxiety: you start with a clear story arc, not an empty canvas.
2. Stay out of the way: once you’ve got momentum, AI-driven workflows like Remix tweak layouts so you can focus on the message.
If you try them on a live project, let us know. Your fresh perspective will help us sharpen the next round of templates and workflows.
Really appreciate the early feedback and hope Chronicle earns a spot in your toolbox!
Congrats on the launch! I really love the clean and elegant design of your product's interface—it's so sleek and refined. I'm currently testing it and looking forward to the results from the first run. Your concept about presentations resonates deeply with me, and I'm curious about the inspiration behind your brand name and logo—care to share?
Chronicle
@gin_6078 thank you! we really stress about the quality of the design, this means a lot to us!
I'll let @mayuresh_patole and @tejgw answer about the brand name, but to me, the name represents how chronicle is a space for all your stories (whether it be a pitch, a company update, or info you want to share).
Chronicle
@gin_6078 Hi Gin - thank you so much.
When we were thinking of a name of the company @tejgw and I thought it should mean a story - but more than just a boring one. We want stories that people tell to have emotion and impact. Chronicle felt like just the right name. So we went for it :)
@tejgw @mayuresh_patole Thanks for the reply! I really love this word; its rhythm feels so dynamic and aligns with the structured vibe of your interface outputs. It's such a poetic product name that I even looked up its etymology:
In the ancient tongues of Greece, χρονικά whispered of time itself—not mere moments ticking by, but time as a vessel, carrying the weight of stories yet to be told.
Chronicle
@tejgw @mayuresh_patole @gin_6078 oh wow I love that! it definitely emulates the journey we've been on to create chronicle - over 4 years, scrapped a few different versions of the product and built again from scratch.
@clairetaylor Truly happy for you all! Building a product is never easy to get perfect on the first try, which makes every release so important. Wishing your metrics keep improving!
Appwrite
Seriously amazing product, I think everyone in the industry had been deperately waiting for a Cursor for slides, and you just did that. I love the concept, the designs, everything so far. Great job 👏
Chronicle
@chiragagg5k Thank you for the support and for the kind words! Keen to get further feedback
Chronicle
@chiragagg5k Thank you for your words and support Chirag. It's a very exciting time for Chronicle, glad to have supporting along
Chronicle
@chiragagg5k thank you! 🥹 it means so much to hear that people love the designs - it's what we stress over constantly. thanks for the support!
Chronicle
@chiragagg5k Thanks for the kind words!! Would love feedback once you've had a chance to play around with Chronicle for a bit!
Chronicle looks fantastic – slick design and just the right level of AI help. Love the Remix concept. Definitely trying it next time I’m prepping a presentation. Great work!
Product Disrupt
I tried out Chronicle a few years ago when it was a real-time widget based presentation tool. Even though I didn't personally have a use case for it, I was mighty impressed by the design.
This new version with AI superpowers is even more exciting. I tried creating a pitch deck for withaview.co by submitting only the URL. And buoy, it did a tremendous job pitching the product.
Chronicle
Chronicle
@weirdowizard You saw Chronicle back when it was only live widgets and design nerdery, so hearing that the new AI layer nailed a pitch deck from nothing but a URL is music to our ears. Our goal was to keep the craft you loved and add on super-powers that do the storytelling heavy lifting for you.
We’re iterating fast on deeper brand-kit support and multi-source context (think URLs plus docs, briefs, even rough notes), so your perspective is gold. If you spot any rough edges or have feature wishes, drop them our way and we’ll get them on the slate.
Thanks for sticking with us through the glow-up and for putting Chronicle through its paces! 🚀
Product Disrupt
@tejgw Chronicle has certainly come a long way. Multi-sources sound exciting!
Picmaker
I've been waiting for the world to experience this for a couple of months now.
Presenting something is always scary AF.
Chronicle helps make this journey slightly easier.
Excited to see what the world thinks about this.
Chronicle
Chronicle
@jagadeash_s1 thank you! we hope that you don't feel that performance anxiety the next time you present and that Chronicle has helped ease your anxiety ❤️ I know it's helped me present in different ways (async, face to face, loom recording) and it's so nice to just know that it's going to look good and work.
Chronicle
@jagadeash_s1 Jagadeash, you’ve been in the trenches with us since the earliest builds, so this shout-out hits home. 🙏
If Chronicle is taking even a sliver of the edge off that pre-presentation adrenaline, we’re doing our job. Your early feedback on flow and polish helped shape the version the world sees today.
Would love your take on the new Remix and Storyline updates when you next build a deck, especially any spots where the anxiety creeps back in. The more we know, the smoother we can make that journey for everyone. Thanks for championing us from day one. Can’t wait to see what you create next.
Congrats to the team for the launch. 🎉
Chronicle
@rbluena Thanks for the support, Rabii!

Chronicle
@alex_cloudstar Thanks for the support. Would love to hear what you think after you've had a chance to try it!
Chronicle
@alex_cloudstar Thanks so much, Alex! Your comment really made our day.
You've perfectly described the balance we're striving for. That's our core mission in a nutshell.
We're excited for you to try the remix feature, as it's designed for that exact purpose. Would love to hear what you think!
Chronicle
@alex_cloudstar thanks for the support! Remix is definitely a labor of love and can't wait for you to give it a try! Let us know if we can do anything to improve!
This looks epic!
Chronicle
@brad_gyngell Thanks Brad! Every single thing in the product has been thought through and it's very reassuring to see these kinds of comments, because you're right, Chronicle is epic, and there's so much more still to come!
