OpenAI has acquired presentation-generation startup NextSlide, whose team has joined work on ChatGPT. The deal signals OpenAI’s interest in making its AI tools more useful for creating visual, editable business and communication materials.

NextSlide’s product turned prompts, notes, documents and research into polished presentations, aiming to make visual communication easier. Financial terms were not disclosed; founder Ahmed Beshry said the acquisition occurred earlier in 2026, though the announcement came months later. Beshry previously co-founded Caper AI, which Instacart acquired in 2021.
