Review notes
Context from the listing review and editorial research.
Long-running presentation SaaS that added generative AI on top of its Smart Slides system; design automation (auto-layout) is still the core differentiator versus pure AI slide generators. Distinct from Canva Presentations and from Gamma's document-like AI decks.
