OpenAI acquires NextSlide to add AI presentations to ChatGPT

OpenAI acquired NextSlide, a startup that turns prompts, notes, and documents into editable presentations. The acquisition will bring AI-generated slide creation directly into ChatGPT.

Why it matters: This continues OpenAI's pattern of acquiring small, feature-specific startups to bolt new capabilities onto ChatGPT rather than building them in-house. It also puts OpenAI in more direct competition with Microsoft's AI-powered PowerPoint features.
