Summary
NextSlide said OpenAI bought the presentation startup earlier this year, with its team now working on ChatGPT; financial terms were not disclosed.
Ahmed Beshry said the move extends NextSlide’s mission of helping users turn prompts, notes, documents and research into polished, editable presentations.
The startup had pitched its product as a visual-communication tool, and Beshry said joining OpenAI will let the team keep building AI products for creating and communicating ideas.
Beshry previously co-founded Caper AI, the smart-cart startup Instacart acquired in 2021, adding context to the team OpenAI has brought in.
