Executive Summary

Many teams waste hours choosing and customizing from an overwhelming number of presentation templates, causing inconsistent branding and slow deck turnaround—this pain is especially acute for SMB marketing, sales, and internal comms teams without dedicated design resources. As template libraries grow, users increasingly prefer curated, outcome-focused recommendations instead of browsing dozens of mediocre options. Build an AI-powered template recommender that ingests a short brief (audience, goal, brand assets) and returns 3–5 curated, editable slide decks ranked by relevance and compliance, with one-click brand governance enforcement and export to popular slide formats. Prioritize a fast time-to-first-draft (minutes), a simple UX for non-designers, and analytics to feed continuous improvement. The addressable market is roughly $4.5B today (30M businesses × $150 ACV), supported by an 86/100 market score and an 82/100 revenue potential; AI is lowering the cost of generating first drafts and creating demand for recommendation and curation layers. There’s a clear enterprise upsell path as teams centralize brand assets and require governance, which can move customers toward higher per-seat or platform fees. To stand out, focus on high-precision curation (human-in-the-loop training), strong brand integrations, and outcome-driven UX rather than sheer template volume; the main challenges are achieving recommendation quality and integrating with existing tooling in a medium-competition landscape, but getting curation and governance right creates a defensible enterprise value proposition.
