Chronicle: AI at the Service of Presentations

Chronicle, a tool launched in 2023, has already undergone a major overhaul in 2025. Its mission is to surpass generative AI tools in the complex field of presentation creation. On March 3, the publisher announced on X the rollout of version 2.0, claiming that the tool does not feel like a purely AI creation. This version promises to eliminate what Chronicle calls "AI slide slop," those messy presentations filled with generic visuals that require hours of correction.

The update introduces several innovative features. It allows for the integration and customization of graphics, as well as export in PPT and PDF formats. Additionally, it offers a library of templates designed by renowned designers from companies such as Apple, McKinsey, and BCG. Chronicle is available on the web and offers a limited free version, with subscriptions starting at $15 per month.

Cardboard: Video Editing Reinvented

Cardboard is presented as a revolution in video editing, leveraging the rapid development of agency to transform this field. Described as the "Cursor of video editing," it has already been adopted by employees at major companies like Google, PostHog, and Airtable. The platform allows users to turn a series of clips into a polished edit in just minutes, thanks to natural language queries.

Backed by Y Combinator, Cardboard can analyze raw footage, suggest a narrative structure, and even generate engaging voiceovers. This solution is accessible via a web browser, with subscriptions starting at $60 per month, offering a new approach to video editing.

Stitch 2.0: Google Pushes the Boundaries of Design

After exploring vibe coding with AI Studio, Google is now tackling vibe design with Stitch, a user interface design tool. Developed following the acquisition of Galileo AI, Stitch was first introduced at Google I/O 2025. The initial version allowed users to generate interfaces from text queries or sketches, with the ability to export HTML and CSS code.

Version 2.0, developed by Google Labs, transforms Stitch into a comprehensive platform covering the entire creation process, from idea to prototype finalization. It integrates features to accelerate workflows, such as importing or extracting a design system from a URL, an "infinite canvas" for exploring different creative avenues, and automatic screen generation based on interactions. Stitch 2.0 also allows for real-time user journey testing. Although the price has not yet been disclosed, this tool positions itself as a direct competitor to Figma Make.

Glam AI: Virality Within Reach

Glam AI, launched two years ago on iOS and Android, has quickly gained popularity with 16 million monthly downloads. The app stands out for its simplicity: it identifies trends on platforms, converts them into templates, and allows users to integrate their own photo or product to create viral content.

Recently released in a web version, Glam AI distinguishes itself with its accessibility. Unlike other platforms that leave users to grapple with the idea, prompt, workflow, and execution, Glam AI starts from scratch by leveraging the best-performing templates on the market, such as Sora 2, Veo 3.1, and Nano Banana 2. It also offers a library of over 2,000 templates, updated daily. The app is available starting at $2 per month.

Claude Import Memory: Innovation from Anthropic

Anthropic, a company increasingly positioning itself as a serious competitor to OpenAI, continues to innovate with its Import Memory feature. This month, it successfully placed five of its products in the top twenty positions of the monthly Product Hunt ranking, including Import Memory.

This feature allows users to bring preferences, projects, or context accumulated on other generative AI services, like ChatGPT, back to Claude via simple copy-pasting. Currently reserved for paying subscribers, Import Memory is available on web and desktop versions, including Windows and macOS, with subscriptions starting at $17 per month.
