Chronicle is an AI presentation platform built by ChronicleHQ, founded in San Francisco in 2021 by a team with backgrounds at McKinsey, BCG, and Apple. The company raised a $7.5 million seed round led by Accel and Square Peg in 2023 and opened to the public off a waitlist that had grown past 100,000 sign-ups.
Rather than outputting a flat slide deck, Chronicle organizes AI-generated content into a widget system, modular blocks for text, charts, images, and embedded media (Figma frames, Looker dashboards, YouTube clips) that stay editable and interactive during a live presentation. Presenter-mode features like Peek and Deep Hover let a presenter reveal hidden content or dim everything except one data point while talking, control that static PowerPoint exports don't allow.
Chronicle targets teams building business-critical decks, sales, fundraising, and executive reporting, where design quality matters and a generic template won't do. A free plan covers up to 10 decks; paid tiers run from Pro at $15 a month ($12 billed annually) up to Max at $59 a month ($45 annually) for larger token allowances and priority support.
