OpenAI absorbs NextSlide after roughly one year

OpenAI acquired NextSlide after the presentation startup had operated for a little over 1 year, moving its team onto ChatGPT. Founder Ahmed Beshry’s announcement says NextSlide turned prompts, notes, documents, or research into editable presentations; TechCrunch reports that the deal actually closed earlier this year and its financial terms remain undisclosed. For builders tracking OpenAI’s shift from a model vendor toward an agent platform, the quiet acquihire is another signal that artifact creation—this time slides—is becoming native assistant capability rather than a separate destination app.
