We (Thorntale) are a startup building presentation tools, we noticed that while people disliked the tedium of making slide decks, a lot of people actively dread presenting those decks, especially if it's a high-stakes call or if they're inexperienced. Speaking from experience, practice helps a lot, but it can feel embarrassing to give the same pitch to your friend or cofounder for the tenth time.
We built this prototype https://review.thorntale.com/ as a way to practice; upload a PDF deck, give your presentation, and the selected AI "personas" will analyze the slides and transcript and provide feedback. At the moment, we've tuned "personas" to give you feedback from the perspective of an investor, a teacher, or a marketing/branding lead (as well as a few entertaining extras.) If you have a particular use case, shoot us a comment, we're refining the persona system and planning what else to build there.
The tool is totally free and doesn't require signup or login; we'd love any feedback if you check it out!

If the value proposition is in the personas, I do not see it. On a related note, presentation quality is hard to gauge, so such a tool may be hard for you to monetize. Prospects may wonder if is it any better than just doing what I suggested, and by enough to pay for?
