**Timeline:** 2022 - Present **Status:** Dormant but growing **Users:** 1+ million **Recognition:** World's First PowerPoint AI ## Overview Intern AI, originally known as ChatBA, was developed as a weekend project focused on generative PowerPoint slide creation. The platform pioneered AI-powered presentation generation, establishing itself as the first solution of its kind in the market. ![[Pasted image 20250611164259.png]] ## Launch Strategy The project gained significant traction through organic growth following a strategic launch approach: - Created and published a launch video on Twitter - Leveraged the novelty of AI-generated slides at the time - Generated substantial organic user acquisition and backlinks ## Market Position Despite being positioned as the world's first PowerPoint AI, the team made the strategic decision to discontinue active development due to concerns about competing with incumbent advantages held by Microsoft and similar established players. ## Current Status The platform continues to demonstrate remarkable organic growth despite being dormant: - User base has grown to approximately 1 million users - Steady user acquisition continues without active marketing - Platform remains functional and accessible ## Strategic Considerations The project highlighted important lessons about market timing and competitive positioning. While Microsoft and other incumbents were expected to rapidly enter this space, their slower-than-anticipated movement suggests potential opportunities may still exist. ## Acquisition Opportunity The project has been dead for quite a while but still is growing in user count pretty steadily (currently sitting at around 1 million users) - if you're interested in taking this over, you can contact me (information at [[Home]]) ## Technical Innovation Intern AI demonstrated early innovation in: - AI-powered content generation for presentations - Automated slide design and layout - User-friendly interface for non-technical users ## Market Validation The sustained growth and user retention validate the market demand for AI-powered presentation tools, suggesting continued viability for focused development efforts.
