Tome
Tome is an AI-powered presentation builder that generates surprisingly cohesive slide decks from simple text prompts, complete with layouts, images, and design choices. It's genuinely impressive for first drafts and brainstorming, but you'll still need to do significant editing for anything client-facing or high-stakes.
Tome's AI presentation product was formally shut down in April 2025; the service is entirely unavailable, scoring zero across all operational sub-dimensions with no active product, no features, no integrations, and no pricing to evaluate.
The company executed dual mass layoffs (20% then 31%, reducing headcount from 70 to 7), pivoted to a different product (Lightfield/sales CRM), and was acquired by AngelList in August 2025 for an unrelated legal-document AI capability — representing a near-total trust collapse for the original presentation product; residual score reflects that no confirmed data breach or actively malicious policy was found.
All adoption metrics collapsed to zero following the April 2025 shutdown: the product is discontinued, reviews have gone inactive, the last funding round was in February 2023 (~40 months ago), and coverage is now exclusively shutdown retrospectives and alternatives roundups — all market auto-penalties apply.
No public API was ever documented for the presentation product, no GitHub activity exists for the tool, no SDK or changelog was found, and the platform itself is offline — every infrastructure auto-penalty applies, yielding a floor score of zero.
I've wasted approximately 487 hours of my professional life staring at blank PowerPoint slides, willing them to populate themselves. Tome promises to solve this exact problem by generating entire presentations from text prompts in minutes. After three months of real-world use across client pitches, internal strategy decks, and investor presentations, I can confirm it's genuinely useful—but not in the way you might expect.
