Tome was an AI-native storytelling and presentation application that let users generate polished, narrative slide decks and documents from a simple text prompt. Launched by founders Keith Peiris and Henri Liriani, the product became known for rapidly turning ideas into visually formatted presentations and reached a large user base, reportedly around 20 million users at its peak.
The app used generative AI to draft slide content, structure narratives, and produce accompanying visuals, making it popular for pitches, sales materials, and quick storytelling. Over time the company explored an AI sales-focused direction before its founders ultimately decided to wind down the consumer presentation product. Tome shut down its AI presentation tool in 2025, and the founders moved on to build Lightfield, an AI-native CRM. Separately, the Tome brand and certain AI technology were acquired by AngelList.
Before the pivot, Tome raised roughly $81 million from prominent investors including Coatue, Greylock, Lightspeed, 8VC, and GV, reportedly at a valuation near $300 million. The original product served founders, sales professionals, marketers, and individual creators who wanted to produce decks quickly without manual design work.
Because the presentation product has been discontinued, prospective users evaluating Tome today should note that the tome.app presentation service is no longer operating; this entry documents the product as it existed and its subsequent transition.
