Exponential Growth: Tome Tome's Predictable Storytelling Product Doubling Every Few Weeks

Meet Keith, Co-Founder and CEO of Tome, a revolutionary storytelling product using large language models to help people create compelling presentations in a predictable way.

1. Building a compelling PowerPoint presentation requires significant time and effort.
2. The biggest problem with PowerPoints is starting the story.
3. Large language models can help generate a story, as most stories follow a similar arc.
4. Tome is a storytelling product that uses large language models to create a predictable story arc.
5. Tome has experienced exponential growth, doubling every couple of weeks, and expects to reach millions of users in the next few months.
6. PowerPoint's origin is rooted in physical slides and projectors, making it less interactive and not tailored for digital screens.
7. Designing slides for understanding can be a waste of time at companies.
8. Large language models can help generate stories, which connect facts and concepts into a narrative.
9. Tome started with two co-founders, Keith and an extraordinary co-founder (Henri), who shared a vision for multimodal storytelling.
10. The team initially focused on analysis paralysis before realizing they needed to build the product and iterate on it.
11. Reid Hoffman, from Greylock and OpenAI, joined Tome's board after seeing progress and being convinced of its collaborative nature.
12. A startup is "dead by default," and removing pain isn't enough; you need to tap into a deeper human need and create something compelling.
13. Imagination is crucial for people to understand Tome's potential, especially in the early stages.
14. High-quality feedback indicates that users are using the product for real purposes, which leads to growth.
15. AI can act as a collaborative partner, automating tasks and turning knowledge work into managing systems that generate work.
16. The more data-oriented and factual tasks might take longer to get right with AI models.
17. Human collaboration is what sets us apart; building AI PowerPoint isn't enough; reimagining storytelling in the internet age is the goal.
18. Staying lean, nimble, and focused on a smaller team can lead to more precise execution and easier pivots.
19. Tome aims to create a strong team that can iterate for at least a year or two as they find product-market fit.
20. Ensuring users can do something better with Tome is gratifying, and the long-term goal is to become a multi-generational storytelling company.
21. Balancing new technology introduction with preserving user experience for existing users is crucial.
22. Clear communication between humans will persist, regardless of technological advancements.
23. Tome's dream is to keep evolving and building core technology to help people understand each other over time.
24. The company sees the ongoing need for human communication, which will endure despite technological progress.
