OpenAI has acquired presentation startup NextSlide, with its team now working on ChatGPT, according to a recent announcement. The NextSlide website displays a note from founder Ahmed Beshry describing the product as one “that could turn prompts, notes, documents, or research into a polished, editable presentation.” Beshry stated the ultimate goal was “to make visual communication more accessible and help more people express their ideas clearly,” and that by joining OpenAI, the team will “continue pursuing that same mission: building AI products that help people create, communicate, and turn their ideas into meaningful work.” The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In a LinkedIn note, Beshry said the announcement is coming “a few months late,” as the acquisition took place “earlier this year.” Beshry was previously a co-founder at Caper AI, a smart cart/cashier-less checkout startup acquired by Instacart in 2021.
