About Tome
Tome is an AI-native storytelling platform that helps users create visually compelling presentations and interactive narratives. Originally launched as a presentation tool for creators and professionals, Tome uses generative AI to turn simple text prompts into fully formatted presentations with intelligent layouts, AI-generated visuals, and narrative-driven content. The platform pioneered a tile-based multimedia canvas designed for web-first storytelling, enabling seamless real-time collaboration, interactive embeds from tools like Figma and YouTube, and responsive designs that work across all devices. By early 2025, Tome pivoted from consumer presentation creation to enterprise-focused solutions, offering custom LLMs, governance controls, and deep integrations with sales and marketing platforms. The platform combines advanced AI capabilities with branching workflows, role-based access control, and compliance-ready features for teams managing complex business communications.

Yes, Tome offers a free Basic tier with manual editing, template browsing, and unlimited sharing. However, AI generation features (auto-layout, prompt-based creation, engagement analytics) require the Professional or Enterprise plan.

In April 2025, Tome discontinued its consumer AI presentation features and pivoted to enterprise sales automation (now Lightfield). The brand was acquired by AngelList. Existing users lost access to slide generation capabilities.
