We’ve all had fun playing around with ChatGPT. But, some skeptics scoff, this kind of “generative A.I.”—the umbrella term for artificial intelligence that can create brand new images, text, music, voices, or data—is little more than a toy, with few immediate commercial uses.
An increasing number of startups are hoping to prove these skeptics wrong and are quickly adapting various generative models—sometimes in combination with one another—to power complex software tools for business.
In the latest example of this, Tome, a San Francisco startup that is dedicated to collaborative software tools for what they define broadly as “storytelling”—anything from children’s books to corporate annual reports and from sales pitch decks to film storyboards—has begun using generative A.I. to automatically frame narratives and create slide shows, complete with original images to illustrate each slide.
