OpenAI acquires NextSlide, a startup that uses artificial intelligence to help people create presentations. The acquisition is reported as having taken place earlier this year, with the news announced publicly on Friday, Aug. 7, by NextSlide founder Ahmed Beshry via his LinkedIn page. NextSlide’s website also includes a message from Beshry confirming the deal.
Details about the terms of the transaction are not disclosed. Financial information or purchase price is not provided in the reports, and neither outlet specifies how the NextSlide product will be integrated into OpenAI’s offerings. The announcement focuses on the acquisition itself, with limited information about staffing, timelines, or any changes to the service that customers may see.
Across the sources, the key points remain consistent: NextSlide is the target company, it is described as an AI presentation creation tool, and OpenAI is the buyer. Both accounts frame the announcement as coming from the founder rather than through an OpenAI press release, and both omit deal valuation and additional operational specifics.
