OpenAI bought NextSlide and folded its team directly into ChatGPT, continuing a pattern of tuck-in acquisitions to build out productivity features.
NextSlide, a startup focused on AI-generated presentations, confirmed its team is now working on ChatGPT following the acquisition. Terms were not disclosed.
The deal extends OpenAI's push into workplace productivity tooling, an area where it's competing directly with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 for enterprise seat share.
Presentation generation is a wedge into corporate workflows and recurring seat-based revenue, not a novelty feature. Every acqui-hire like this narrows the gap between ChatGPT and full office suites, raising pressure on Google and Microsoft to move faster on their own agentic productivity bets.
