Chronicle
AI presentation maker built on a freeform, editable canvas
What is Chronicle?
Chronicle is a web-based presentation tool that turns notes, outlines, documents or existing decks into designed slides, which stay fully editable on a freeform canvas. Brand themes and saved templates keep decks consistent across a team, and finished work can be presented, published as a website or exported to PDF or PowerPoint. An API and an MCP server let AI assistants and automation tools generate decks.
Chronicle has a free plan. Paid plans start at $12 per user / month, billed annually. See every plan
Good for
- Sales, consulting and startup teams turning notes or documents into client-facing decks
- People who want AI-drafted slides they can still rearrange by hand
- Automating recurring decks from a CRM or workflow tool through the API or MCP
Worth knowing
- The Free plan is capped at 10 decks and has no AI features; AI generation needs a paid plan with a monthly token allowance.
- PowerPoint export, saved templates and the Muse agent start at Plus, and custom fonts and advanced branding need Max.
- AI tokens are counted per user, are not shared across a workspace and expire at the end of each month.
- Chronicle is a web app; its site does not list desktop or mobile apps.

- Sharing and export
- Decks can be presented, published as a website or exported to PDF on every plan. PowerPoint export starts at the Plus plan.
- Embeds
- Slides can embed live content from other tools, including Loom and YouTube videos, Google Sheets and Airtable data, Calendly booking pages and Typeform or Tally forms.
