Tome

2020 - 2025, 5 years old

An AI presentation tool that let users generate full decks from a prompt and grew to millions of users at its peak.

Tome hit twenty-five million users and over $80M raised but, by founder Keith Peiris's own account, never converted that scale into a workable business since users could not export to PowerPoint or fit corporate workflows. After layoffs in April 2024 the team pivoted to a sales product called Lightfield and announced the presentation product would sunset by the end of April 2025. AngelList ended up buying the Tome brand assets while the original deck product was killed.
