Tome Shut Down — Here's the Best Tome Alternative in 2026
Tome AI closed its presentation product on April 30, 2025. If you loved writing your story in a document and watching it become slides, Eazy keeps that feel — you write first in a real editor, then your document drives a designed deck you can present and export (PDF/PPTX). Here's what you need to know.
The Verdict
Former Tome users who liked thinking in a document, not a prompt box — write first, or drop in a PDF or link, and end with a polished deck you can present and export (PDF/PPTX). You want to refine by talking to it, and change one line without regenerating the whole deck. Anyone who lost their Tome data and wants a fresh start.
Tome is no longer available. The product shut down on April 30, 2025. There is no use case for choosing Tome in 2026.

What Happened to Tome?
Tome launched in 2022 as one of the first AI-native presentation tools and quickly attracted millions of users with its narrative-style, scrollable format. The product was genuinely innovative — it was one of the first tools to let you write a story in a document-style editor and have it become a presentation.
However, Tome never solved the monetization problem. With 20 million users but under $4 million in ARR, the math didn't work. On April 30, 2025, Tome shut down its presentation product entirely. Users who didn't export their presentations before the deadline lost all their data permanently. The Tome brand was acquired by AngelList for document summarization technology, while the team pivoted to sales automation under the name Lightfield.
Why Eazy Is a Strong Tome Replacement
If you used Tome, you liked writing your ideas in a document and watching them become a presentation. Eazy is built the same way: you start by writing in a real editor — headings, bullets, toggles, slide dividers, notes — and your document drives the deck. You can also drop in a PDF, Word file, spreadsheet, or a web link, and Eazy reads it into editable content so you never copy-paste.
The biggest upgrade over Tome is what happens after you write. Where Tome kept everything as web cards, Eazy turns your document into a real, designed slide deck — and when you want a change you talk to it in plain language, with only the affected slide rebuilding so the slides you already liked stay put. And because each slide is a proper structured layout, exports to PDF and PPTX preserve the design. If you were ever frustrated sharing a Tome presentation as a file, this alone is worth the switch.
How to Migrate from Tome to Eazy
If you exported your Tome presentations before the shutdown, you can use them as reference: paste the text content straight into Eazy's editor, shape it as a document, and let the deck follow. You keep full editorial control the whole way — the document stays the source of truth.
If you have the original document you used to create your Tome presentation (a brief, outline, or report), upload it directly. Eazy reads it into editable content and structures it into a deck. This often produces a better result than starting from scratch because you're working from your real source material, and you can refine any slide just by talking to it.
Other Tome Alternatives to Consider
Gamma is often cited as the closest spiritual successor to Tome — both create scrollable, web-native content meant for online sharing. If that format was specifically what you valued about Tome, Gamma is worth evaluating — see our Eazy vs Gamma comparison for an honest side-by-side. However, Gamma's PowerPoint exports also have reliability issues, and its card format isn't ideal for traditional presenting.
Beautiful.ai is best for enterprise teams who need brand enforcement and SOC 2 compliance, though it starts at $12/month with no free plan — see our Eazy vs Beautiful.ai comparison. Canva's AI presentation features are improving but remain secondary to its core design tool functionality — see our Eazy vs Canva comparison. Slidebean targets startup pitch decks with AI-assisted financial modeling. For users who want to think in a document and end with an exportable deck, Eazy is the strongest option.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Where Eazy Wins
Like Tome, you start in a document — headings, bullets, toggles, slide dividers, notes — and your content becomes slides. You shape the story first; the deck follows. No prompt box, no slide grid.
Drop in a PDF, Word or PowerPoint file, a spreadsheet, or a web link, and Eazy reads it into editable content. Your sources become part of the document — no copy-paste.
Edit the doc and the deck follows. Where Tome kept everything as web cards, Eazy keeps a real document that drives a designed, presentable deck.
Refine by talking to it in plain language — it already knows your whole document. Edit a sentence and only that slide rebuilds, so you never lose the slides you already liked.
Write, design, refine, and export in one place. Slides are designed for you by default; restyle with a theme and export to PDF or PPTX with the layout intact. Tome's exports were a well-known weakness.
Where Tome Wins
Tome was one of the first AI-native presentation tools and popularized the concept of generating decks from prompts.
Tome's scrollable, story-driven format was innovative for async communication, though it limited traditional presenting.
