Napkin AI is a web-based AI application that automatically converts written text into editable visual representations such as diagrams, infographics, and flowcharts. The product targets users without design skills and positions itself as a lightweight tool for individual visuals rather than a full presentation generator. The company was founded in 2021 by ex-Google engineers Pramod Sharma and Jerome Scholler and is backed by Accel and CRV; the service continues to evolve (e.g., PPTX export, data visualization, Napkin Slides).
