Tome

What is Tome?

Tome is an AI-native presentation and storytelling platform that generates complete slide decks, narratives, and visual content from text prompts or existing documents. Unlike traditional presentation tools where you build slides manually, Tome uses AI to create entire presentations—including written content, AI-generated images, layouts, and design—in seconds. You can start with a topic, paste in an outline or strategy document, and Tome produces a polished, visually rich presentation ready to present or refine. It's designed for the era of generative AI, where creating compelling visual stories should be as fast as writing an outline.

Best For

Tome is ideal for startup founders creating pitch decks and investor presentations who need speed and visual polish, product managers documenting strategies and roadmaps with rich visual context, and sales teams customizing presentations for different prospects quickly. It excels when you need to turn written ideas into visual narratives fast, or when you're brainstorming and want to see concepts visualized immediately. Because it generates both text and images with AI, Tome is particularly valuable for users who lack design skills or access to stock photo libraries but still need presentations that look professionally designed.

Key Features

How does Tome's AI generation work?
Tome's "Create with AI" feature lets you input a topic, brief, or full document, and it generates a complete presentation with narrative structure, section headings, body copy, and AI-generated images that match the content. For example, describing "a pitch deck for a sustainable fashion startup" produces slides covering problem, solution, market, traction, and ask, with relevant imagery throughout. You can regenerate individual sections or the entire presentation if the first output doesn't match your vision.

Can Tome create custom images for presentations?
Yes—Tome includes integrated DALL-E image generation, allowing you to create custom illustrations, backgrounds, and graphics directly within the tool. Simply describe what image you want ("minimalist illustration of a wind farm at sunset") and Tome generates it. This eliminates the need for stock photo subscriptions or separate image generation tools.

What interactive and media features does Tome support?
Tome pages (slides) can embed videos, live websites, Figma prototypes, 3D models, interactive charts, Twitter threads, calendars, and more. This makes presentations more engaging than static slides and useful for live demos or asynchronous sharing. Viewers can interact with embedded content without leaving the presentation.

How does Tome handle mobile and sharing?
Every Tome presentation is web-based and mobile-responsive, automatically adapting layout for phones and tablets. Sharing is done via link (public or restricted), and you can control whether viewers can comment, request access, or view without login. Analytics show who viewed your Tome, how long they spent on each page, and which sections got the most engagement.

Pricing & Plans

• Free Plan: Unlimited tomes, 500 AI credits (for generation and images), basic templates, standard sharing options
• Pro: $16/month (annual) or $20/month (monthly) - Unlimited AI credits, advanced themes, custom branding, viewer analytics, priority support, video recording, enhanced export options

The free tier's 500 credits allow significant experimentation with AI generation. Pro is necessary for teams creating presentations frequently or needing analytics to track engagement.

Getting Started

Sign up at tome.app and click "Create with AI." Describe your presentation topic or paste in an outline, brief, or document. Choose a tone (professional, casual, creative) and let Tome generate the presentation. Review the output, edit content inline, regenerate sections that need improvement, and add custom AI images where needed. Use "/" commands to quickly insert new pages, images, videos, or embeds. Share your Tome via link when ready, or export to PDF for offline distribution.

Limitations

• AI credit limits on free tier: 500 credits support a limited number of AI generations before requiring upgrade or waiting for monthly refresh
• Less control than traditional tools: AI-generated layouts may not match precise visual expectations; advanced users may find customization limited
• Quality variation in AI content: Generated text and images require review and editing; not all outputs are presentation-ready without refinement
• Web-only: No desktop or mobile apps; all editing happens in browser (though viewing is mobile-responsive)
• Export limitations: Free tier exports have restrictions; full PDF/PPT export with high quality requires Pro
• Template variety: Fewer manually-designed templates than PowerPoint or Keynote; relies more on AI generation than pre-built designs
