Been loving it for my investor updates and all hands. Go Chronicle 🎖️
@ypranay Thank you so much! Glad that Chronicle has been your go-to choice. We care deeply about the craft behind storytelling, so it’s really special seeing people respond to it today.
Chronicle
@ypranay Let's go 🔥💎
Chronicle
@ypranay 💪💪💪

@ypranay EPIC! thanks for the support!
I use Chronicle extensively - great product. It's replaced most other deck creation tools. It's a core part of my workflow now.
Chronicle
@chazmee Thank you! It’s something we spent a lot of time obsessing over 🔥
@praveendinesh Yeah I wasn't an early user but it's been really great. I think being able to create custom covers would be useful for branding and customizing some of the shapes and charts but overall it's headed in the right direction.
It's much better than google slides, way easier to collaborate and I like being able to setup templates. Love the Claude integration especially since most of my assistants I use for work are there. Slick product and very worth the $15 / mo.
Chronicle
@chazmee Appreciate the kind words and support! 🙌
For custom cover pages, you can create them and save them as templates in Chronicle so they’re easy to reuse. We’ve also just introduced the first version of charts in the product - would love to hear if there are specific chart types or interactions you’d like to see.
@chazmee Thank you! A lot of the work behind Chronicle has been obsessing over the small details that make presentations feel polished, so it means a lot hearing support like this.
Chronicle
@chazmee We're glad you love the product. Stories like these help us to make Chronicle a world class product 🔥
Chronicle
@chazmee This makes me so happy to hear! Love it and thank you for your support 🔥

@chazmee love this! thank you so much for supporting us!
Integrations with Excel and Gemini on the way by any chance?
Chronicle
@zerotox Hi Abhishek, Chronicle allows you to start from anywhere, meaning you can import your excel/csv files (or images, pdf, ppptx, plain text notes, etc) directly into Chronicle and start building beautiful decks right away. You can choose multiple models from Claude Opus, GPT 5.2, Gemini 3 Pro and more.
For images, you can use our inbuilt image-gen widget with multiple models including Nano Banana 2.0, Flux, Seedream, GPT, etc to create high-res images within Chronicle.
Chronicle
@zerotox We have Gemini available. And yup, try importing Excel files & Google spreadsheets, we'll make sense of the data :)
Chronicle
@zerotox you know it! would love to hear your feedback on how it turns your excel into insights!

"AI slop" is basically all presentation tools right now — they generate something that looks polished until you actually read it. The conversational refinement loop is interesting, because the problem isn't usually the first draft, it's getting from draft to something you'd actually present without wrestling with a rigid editor. Curious how it handles brand guidelines — that's usually where the output falls apart.
Chronicle
@jscanzi Great point! One of the reasons we built Chronicle’s format the way we did is so the AI can generate content while still respecting design constraints. Teams can define the building blocks (colors, typography, layout patterns), and the AI assembles slides within those boundaries.
You can start using themes to define colors and typography and use that during generation. We're also working on making the branding experience better so would appreciate if you have any further feedback to share after trying it!

@harrispjose Thanks a lot for your reply!
Chronicle
@jscanzi Completely agree that brand control matters for teams and most tools fall apart at this step. Chronicle is designed so the AI operates within defined visual constraints, which helps keep outputs consistent even as new slides are generated. We've designed a pretty robust brand theme system, and it's improving every single day!
Chronicle
@jscanzi exactly this - chronicle is designed to help with the first draft, and then give you the control to edit and finesse - the best of both worlds!
Cue
"AI presentations without the AI slop" is a great tagline and a real problem worth solving. The conversational refinement approach feels like the right way to do it instead of one-shot generation. Are you seeing teams use it more for building decks from scratch or cleaning up existing ones?
Chronicle
@dparrelli great question! we're seeing a mixture of both! folks coming with a new idea wanting to finesse positioning or brainstorm how to structure their deck. And also people with existing decks, import via pdf or ppt, and then our AI helps them turn it into a well designed presentation with our templates as a base.
Chronicle
@dparrelli Definitely a bit of both! With our templates + AI features, users can build a first draft really quickly. Others also like to bring in their existing templates from PPT, or Google Slides and save them into their Chronicle workspace, so every time they're creating a new but similar deck, they can just use their templates and slightly tweak the content. This is a pretty common workflow across sales, strategy, product, and marketing folks, as well as founders!

This looks amazing fam! Just tried it out for our company it generated amazing slides.
Very quick! Beautiful design too.
I cannot make particularly aesthetic pitch decks and slides but always love to look at good ones. Happy that I can create some too now!
@krupali_trivedi Thank you! A lot of the work went into making sure the slides feel polished enough for business critical presentations.
Chronicle
@krupali_trivedi The freedom to spin up beautifully designed slides in minutes, instead of grinding for hours designing them by hand, tackles a major pain point for founders and teams. We're glad that you loved Chronicle 🙃
Chronicle
@krupali_trivedi This is exactly why Chronicle exists! You shouldn't have to be a designer to make impressive slides! So glad to hear you're liking it 🙌
Chronicle
@krupali_trivedi yay! so glad you loved using the product! thanks for the support <3
Liveblocks
Just tried building out some presentations, fantastic tool! Love the real-time collaboration.
Chronicle
@ctnicholas Appreciate it! Our goal is Chronicle becomes the place where teams shape and share their most important ideas with live collaboration 🙌
Chronicle
@ctnicholas Thanks much, and we love Liveblocks as well for your Yjs stack!
Chronicle
@ctnicholas Love it!!
Chronicle
@ctnicholas you know we couldn't have done it without Liveblocks <3 thanks for the support!

Chronicle
@viktorgems The free plan comes with 100 tokens in total. You can use the promo code "PHPRO" to get one month of Pro plan for free.
Chronicle
@viktorgems @praveendinesh Absolutely 💯
Congrats on the PH launch! I've been testing with Chronicle extensively over the past week and I can say that the pre-built templates are far and away the best out there from a pure design and visual standpoint. However, the AI assistant part of Chronicle leaves a lot to be desired. I fed it markdown, pptx and pdf files to turn into presentations and it ended up building very basic decks - not pulling from the huge template library, even when some screens (like a timeline) were very obvious. Even when I provided explicit instructions and showed which templates to use when it created the presentation, it still churned out basic slop. Right now, Chronicle is a great zero-to-one manual presentation builder, but the AI component is more like a "baby AI" where it can just understand text but needs better training in order to know which templates (which, again, are really really nice) and layouts to apply.
Chronicle
@apcarpl Thank you for sharing that. We’re actively iterating, and Muse gets better every day with feedback like this. While we've noticed some brilliant outputs with our agent, it does struggle with picking more visual layouts, and that's something we're actively looking to improve.
Chronicle
@apcarpl Thanks for the shout Alex! I definitely am a big fan of our templates and 99% of my decks are created with them! Totally understand you though, we're working hard on making sure our underlying foundation picks from the right templates :)
Chronicle
@apcarpl appreciate the feedback! the way that our AI picks template is something we're actively improving daily - plus giving it better guardrails to design to our standard. Watch this space!

@joeharrison really glad you asked.
We have built a fully freeform canvas - so you get all the AI superpowers without sacrificing the control and flexibility.
1. You can reposition widgets like you are used to - assisted by a grid and some smart reordering
2. You resize things easily
3. You can use quick Tidy Up actions to quickly make things uniform or organise them in a click
Chronicle
@joeharrison @mayuresh_patole so good!!
