Tome's co-founders, both former Meta employees, believe the tool is a new medium for sharing ideas and have plans to continue improving its AI capabilities. The tool has gained popularity among Gen Z users and is not seen as a direct competitor to Microsoft's PowerPoint, despite similar capabilities, due to its different audience and positioning.
Key takeaways:
- Tome, an AI-powered storytelling tool, has reached 10 million users just four months after raising $43 million in a Series B round.
- The tool allows users to create and edit slideshows using AI, and is available as a freemium product with a single paid tier at $10 per month.
- Co-founders Keith Peiris and Henri Liriani believe the tool has only just begun to tap into its potential for growth and development.
- LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, an early investor in Tome, believes the tool is not in direct competition with Microsoft, as it serves a different audience and has different positioning despite similar capabilities.
