Tome was an AI storytelling platform for building narrative-driven presentations and pitch decks from a text prompt, with generated imagery and layout included automatically. It targeted founders, marketers, and sales teams who needed polished decks without hiring a designer. The product has since been discontinued.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Tome export to PowerPoint?
No. Tome used a proprietary tile-based format and exported only to PDF or shareable web links; it was never compatible with PowerPoint (.pptx) files. The product is now discontinued, so this no longer matters in practice; alternatives like Gamma, Beautiful.ai, or Plus AI do export to PowerPoint.
Can I use Tome AI for free?
Not anymore. Tome's presentation product is discontinued and tome.app no longer resolves. Before shutdown it offered a free Basic tier (manual editing, templates, unlimited sharing), with AI generation reserved for the paid Professional or Enterprise plan.
What integrations does Tome support?
Before it was discontinued, Tome integrated with Figma, Airtable, Looker, Miro, YouTube, Google Drive, GIPHY, Framer, HubSpot, and Slack, with GraphQL API and webhook access on Enterprise. None of this is reachable today.
Is Tome suitable for enterprise teams?
Tome's Enterprise plan offered role-based access control, a governance studio, custom LLM training, audit logging, and dedicated support before the product was discontinued. It can no longer be purchased or used.
What happened to Tome in 2025?
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.
How much does Tome cost?
Tome can no longer be purchased since its presentation product was discontinued. Historical pricing: Free tier $0, Professional $16/month (annual) or $20/month (monthly), Enterprise custom pricing.
Can I collaborate with my team in real-time?
Tome supported real-time collaboration with up to five team members on its Professional plan before the product was discontinued. That capability is no longer available.
