OpenAI acquires presentation start-up NextSlide

NextSlide announced that it is joining OpenAI, and it was reported that its team will work on ChatGPT. NextSlide converted prompts, notes, documents and research into editable presentations. Founder Ahmed Beshry said the transaction took place earlier in 2026; financial terms were not disclosed.

Why it matters: The purchase points to richer structured-document creation in ChatGPT. It is an acquisition announcement, not evidence of immediate feature availability or revenue. Buyers should not assume the standalone product will continue unchanged.
