OpenAI acquires presentation startup NextSlide

OpenAI has acquired NextSlide, a startup that built tools to turn prompts, notes, documents, or research into polished, editable presentations. Founder Ahmed Beshry said the deal closed earlier this year, with the team now working on ChatGPT; financial terms were not disclosed.

The acquisition points to OpenAI’s push to make ChatGPT more useful for everyday workplace creation, especially visual communication and business productivity. It also reflects a broader trend of AI labs absorbing small teams with specialized product experience rather than building every workflow from scratch.
