Looks good. Are you able to bring in personality in the presentations?

@manu_goel2 That's an excellent question, Manu. You've hit on our next big area of focus.
As Mayuresh said, we are actively working on this, starting with two key features: custom themes (to align with your brand's colors, images and fonts) and later brand voice (to match a specific writing style, like witty vs. formal)
I'm really curious about your perspective. What's the most important element of "personality" for you?
@tejgw When writing for your own consumption e.g. help notes or summarizations, I find AI is ok. Also, some pieces of copy are ok too. But other than that it's a very personal thing e.g. I write my own content for my posts ...have tried to mix with AI a couple of times but ended up spending more time. Likewise proposals, that win, bring out your passion...so tough.

I've followed Chronicle's journey since its early days, and this launch is a true testament to the team's vision and perseverance 🚀 Congrats – just took the product for a test drive, and it feels super intuitive!

@samulipehkonen Hey Samuli, thank you for the thoughtful words! Comments like yours, especially from early followers, are the ultimate motivation. Hearing that you find it "super intuitive" is the best feedback we could ask for. We really appreciate you taking the time to support us.

After 12 years of designing countless pitch decks, product strategy decks and case studies, it feels so good to design a product that brings those learnings to others.
There’s a constant debate we have as a team about how to balance customization and constraint. We have a freeform canvas but also pre-designed widgets. We have a grid, but we allow you to break it and even layer widgets on top of each other. We believe constraints help creativity flourish. When you’re not worried about how it looks, you can spend more time on your message. It’s a super interesting design challenge and would love to hear what you all think about how we’ve built Chronicle with this philosophy.
I’m also really proud of what we’re launching today, in particular:
Remix → turn your inputs into beautiful layouts
Themes → nerding out on design system tokens and making it easy for you to input a few colors and get stunning slides everytime
Presentation generation → we did a lot of experimentation, prototyping and I even dabbled in some early vibe coding to bring this to life
The small details → UI like our widget property menus, sidebar and app layout have all gone through many iterations and feel so good now because of it - we don’t rest until it feels simple and better than other tools
Being at the forefront of writing agentic prompts → we’ve learnt so much in the last 6 months, as models get better and we get a better understanding of how to write prompts that can generate content and also preserve your original message
Keen to hear what you think of Chronicle's design, our product and the launch ❤️

@clairetaylor Claire, you’ve captured the heart of our tug-of-war between freedom and focus.
That duality sits behind every detail you called out. Balancing both sides is hard and you’ve pushed us to keep testing until the friction disappeared. The fact that people can’t see how many iterations it took is the ultimate compliment to the craft.
Huge kudos for shepherding those debates into a launch-day reality. Now let’s keep refining the spectrum between autopilot and total control as the feedback rolls in

I think it was more than just a coincidence that I came here to look for some AI tool to help me create a webinar deck on ad hoc basis. Quite a good job. Took me a couple of attempts but I think there's a long way to go for the platform. Congratulations on the launch and all the best!

@richa_sharma07 Hi Richa, thank you so much for the kind words and for giving our tool a try! We love that you found us right when you needed to create a webinar deck.
We appreciate the honest feedback as well. We know we have a way to go, and comments like yours help us improve. Thanks again for the support.
If you'd be willing to share what took a couple of attempts, we'd love to learn from your experience. Feedback like this is incredibly valuable.
looks great!

🚀 Really solid launch — congrats! One thing I noticed that could take this even further:
You're not showing real user feedback or testimonials, which are key trust signals, especially for early adopters.
I recently built Feedbackz to solve exactly that — it helps you easily collect and showcase testimonials on your site (with no dev work). Might be worth a quick look.
Keep pushing — love seeing makers ship! 🙌

@costin_gheorghe Thanks for sharing, Costin. Great point on showcasing the wins and real feedback. Will share Feedbackz with the team too!

The UI/UX is very good — the design and how the interactions are built are very good and amazing. Only a great design team and the best engineers can pull this off.
Keep up the great work team 🎉
