<p>“With the iPhone, Apple made it dead simple for anyone to take photos.

<p><strong>Got an Idea? Write it on a Napkin, Or This AI Will Do it For You</strong></p>
<p>Napkin.ai makes design more accessible and enables you to explain your ideas without spending hours creating the right visual and building it from scratch.</p>
<p>Here’s how it works:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Bring Your Text</strong>: Paste your existing text content or generate text from an AI prompt.</li>
<li><strong>Generate Visuals</strong>: Click the “spark icon” on any part of the text, and <a class="ww_lnktrkr" href="http://napkin.ai/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Napkin.ai</a> will transform your content into recommended visuals. Within a few seconds, you’ll have a variety of visuals to choose from.</li>
<li><strong>Customize</strong>: With <a class="ww_lnktrkr" href="http://napkin.ai/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Napkin.ai</a>’s built-in editing tool, you can adjust font, color, shape, design, and more to meet your style or brand guidelines.</li>
<li><strong>Embed into Your Workflows</strong>: As simple as copying and pasting, you can simply take <a class="ww_lnktrkr" href="http://napkin.ai/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Napkin.ai</a>’s visuals into any place you like: Google Slides/Docs, Microsoft Word/PowerPoint, Substack, Medium, Slack, Notion, Canva, LinkedIn, X, Instagram and more.</li>
<li><strong>Use it in a Diversity of Use Cases:</strong> Create high-quality visuals suitable for presentations, blogs, pitch decks, social content, newsletters, data and research reports, customer communications, and more.</li>
</ul>
<p>“As someone without design skills, <a class="ww_lnktrkr" href="http://napkin.ai/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Napkin.ai</a> is super easy and convenient. Whether I need a quick diagram for a blog post or a chart for a presentation, <a class="ww_lnktrkr" href="http://napkin.ai/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Napkin.ai</a> generates exactly what I’m looking for within seconds,” said<strong> Jason Miller, COO of SproutsAI.</strong> “Before <a class="ww_lnktrkr" href="http://napkin.ai/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Napkin.ai</a>, we were constrained regarding what graphics we could access. Now, with <a class="ww_lnktrkr" href="http://napkin.ai/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Napkin.ai</a>, we have a designer at our fingertips, offering unlimited access to enhance our business storytelling with visuals while achieving significant cost and time savings.”</p>
<p><strong>Instant Visuals to Amplify Your Storytelling</strong></p>
<p>Napkin.ai’s vast design catalog already includes 30+ visual design categories, such as mind maps, flow charts, Venn diagrams, bar charts, and more. <a class="ww_lnktrkr" href="http://napkin.ai/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Napkin.ai</a>’s team of NLP, AI, and computer vision developers, who hail from Amazon, Microsoft’s Research Lab, GitHub, Google, and Osmo, is hard at work supporting more powerful customizations and unique categories, which they will continue to launch in the coming weeks and months.</p>
<p>“Jerome and Pramod have an uncanny ability to take something incredibly challenging from a technical perspective and make it easy for users. As a partner to their first company, Osmo, we watched them bring their vision for a new play movement to life with Reflective AI. We are excited to support this new chapter as <a class="ww_lnktrkr" href="http://napkin.ai/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Napkin.ai</a> brings visual AI to business storytelling,” said <strong>Rich Wong, Partner at Accel.</strong></p>
