The honest brief
Chronicle
Pitches itself as "Cursor for presentations" — an AI agent that drafts and restyles entire decks on a canvas, not just one slide at a time.
- AI restyles and restructures whole decks
- Widget/canvas-based editing
- Clean, on-brand templates
- Generous free tier
- Web-only (no native or offline app)
- AI usage metered by tokens
Gamma
One prompt yields editable decks, docs, and full websites — not just slides like AI deck-only tools.
- Generates decks, docs, and websites from one prompt
- Surprisingly capable free tier
- Real-time collaboration like Google Docs
- Imports and restructures PDFs and decks
- Generate API for programmatic output
- Card-based layout limits free element positioning
- PowerPoint export reads like a static doc
- Brand kit is per-deck, not global
- Template and design variety is limited
