Pitch turns AI-native — from 25+ slide actions to a full deck-building Agent — while adding enterprise controls.
Pitch is a presentation platform that has moved decisively toward AI-assisted deck creation. Over the past year it layered in 25+ AI slide actions, built-in AI image generation, and now Pitch Agent — a chat-driven agent that generates on-brand, editable decks from real templates. In parallel it is hardening for larger teams with teamspaces and SCIM provisioning.
Visme extended past documents into no-code microsites, then hardened the layout and brand layer.
Six releases across six months, plus a year-in-review. The two structural ones remain a no-code microsite builder that produces custom web pages inside the same editor used for everything else, and SmartBlocks, a native row-and-column layout system for building grid-based designs without positioning elements by hand. The most recent release turns to control rather than capability: Story Points for guiding viewers through a Whiteboard, granular locking on branded templates, a redesigned Brand Kit with detailed color picking, and 30+ microsite templates.

In parallel it is hardening for larger teams with teamspaces and SCIM provisioning.
The direction is clear: automate deck creation end to end — the Agent generates, refines via chat, and acts as a creative partner — while making Pitch safe for enterprise rollout via segmented teamspaces, SCIM, and expiring links. Editor quality-of-life work continues underneath, but the headline bets are agentic generation and team-scale administration.
Expect continued investment in Pitch Agent — deeper chat refinement and brand fidelity — alongside more enterprise controls following teamspaces and SCIM.

Visme is widening from a document and presentation tool into a general content surface — a microsite is a different output category, not a new template — while making the editor more structured underneath. The May release shows the second half of that pattern: once a new output type ships, the work shifts to locking, brand definition and templates so distributed teams can use it without breaking the brand. Grid layout plus a rebuilt Brand Kit are the prerequisites for generated designs that hold together.
Expect the AI Designer to generate into SmartBlocks structures and microsites rather than free-positioned canvases, since the layout system, the template library and the brand context are now all in place.
