Use tool ↗About Chronicle
Chronicle turns raw material into editable slides. You paste a document, notes, numbers or a brief and it lays out a deck on your theme; from there you edit by typing instructions in plain language rather than nudging boxes. Decks export to PowerPoint or PDF, or publish as a web page, and there is an API. It runs in the browser at app.chroniclehq.com. The vendor, ChronicleHQ Inc., claims 5,000+ teams and lists a founding team out of McKinsey, BCG and Apple, but names no headquarters. The free plan covers 10 decks on preset themes; Pro is $15 per user per month, Plus $30 and Max $59, each with a monthly AI token allowance, dropping around 20% on annual billing.

Pros & cons of Chronicle
The editing model is what separates this from the pile of deck generators: instead of regenerating a slide you tell it what to change and it changes it, so a generated deck is a starting point rather than a throwaway. Brand themes, PowerPoint export and an API make it usable inside a company rather than only for a one-off pitch. The token allowance per seat is the real meter, and PowerPoint export is gated behind the $30 tier.
Pros
- Natural-language editing of existing slides, not just first-pass generation
- Exports to PowerPoint and PDF and publishes to the web
- Custom brand themes and shared workspaces on paid tiers
- Free tier of 10 decks is enough to judge output quality
- Documented API for programmatic deck creation
Cons
- Priced per seat with a separate monthly token cap that limits generation
- PowerPoint export and the Muse agent require the $30 Plus tier
- The company publishes no headquarters or registered address
Best for
- Consultants and founders turning a memo into a deck
- Teams that need slides on a locked brand theme
- Anyone who wants to publish a deck as a web page as well as a file
Not for
- Designers who want pixel control over every slide
- One-off users unwilling to pay per seat
Watch out: Advertised prices are the annual rate; monthly billing costs about 20% more, and AI tokens are a second meter on top of the seat.
