Documents, data and slides

A user gives a topic, a text, a PDF, a web address or a YouTube link, and a language model writes a slide presentation from it. MagicSlides runs as an add-on inside Google Slides and as a web application that exports editable PowerPoint, PDF and Google Slides files. Since July 2026 the same account also includes AI tools for spreadsheets, documents, meeting notes and a design canvas, under the name Magic Suite.

It appeared in January 2023 inside Google Slides, a program where people already work, when writing slides from one sentence was new, and users showed it to each other without paid advertising. A blog about presentation topics then brought about 80% of new users from Google search, by the founder's account. Both channels weakened: search traffic fell, and Google added the same function to Slides. The verified total is real, and so is the fall: monthly revenue fell by half between February and July 2026.

A web app that turns a topic, notes, a PDF, a Word file, a spreadsheet, a YouTube link or a web page into a slide deck. The user approves an outline and a visual concept, then each slide is generated as one designed full-slide image, edited by chat, and exported to PowerPoint (.pptx), PDF or PNG.

It is run by a search marketer: its pages target what people type into Google, and its best month came from a list article on another company's blog that ranked there. A US$1 trial that needs a card turns visitors directly into subscribers at US$25 a month or US$99 a year.

You upload a PDF and ask questions about it in a chat window. The answers come from the text of the document. Paid plans add more uploads, more questions, OCR for scanned pages, a Chrome extension, chat across several PDFs, and an API for developers.

The founder did not build it. He bought a weekend project with no revenue for US$20,000, paid about US$10,000 for the domain pdf.ai, and relaunched it under that name. The domain put the product at the top of Google for the words people were already typing, and a one-time launch deal paid for a developer and a video creator within weeks.

You type what you want a spreadsheet to do, in plain words, and it returns the Excel or Google Sheets formula. Started in August 2022 as a one-page site built without code. Since 2024 it is a chat that reads uploaded files and connected data sources and returns charts, tables and reports. Renamed Better Analyst in 2026.

It was the first visible AI tool for a task that 750 million Excel users do, and it appeared three months before ChatGPT. A Reddit post and a TikTok video brought 100,000 visitors in a day. The founder put a paywall on the site when the OpenAI bill reached US$5,000, and 606 people paid in the first month.

A web app, a Chrome extension and an MCP server for Amazon sellers. It estimates the revenue, prices, reviews and keyword demand of a product market, matches Amazon products to suppliers on Alibaba, analyzes ads, tracks rankings and drafts listings. Paid plans connect the seller's own Amazon account, so Claude or Codex can answer questions about the seller's sales and ads.

An Amazon seller who could not code built the research tool he needed in 48 hours with Cursor, then offered it to Legacy X, a coaching program for Amazon sellers that he had bought two years earlier. Legacy X took a share of the business, and its students were the customers from the first day. He says it reached US$10,000 a month in 30 days and US$30,000 a month by June 2026.

A website that writes a resume in one recruiter-tested format from an old resume, a LinkedIn profile or answers to questions, with a cover letter writer, mock interviews, a LinkedIn profile rewriter and a job search. Members pay US$99 once or US$39 a month, and only after they finish a resume.

The founder had answered resume questions on Reddit for six years, and his free template had millions of users, so the AI tool launched to people who already trusted his format. It replaced a US$400 one-to-one review with a US$99 product that costs little to run.

A web form that takes a description of a business idea and returns a long report on its market, customers, competitors, risks and launch steps. In 2023 the text came from hundreds of pre-written prompts sent to OpenAI's ChatGPT models. A later owner still sells it in 2026, rebuilt around live web search and cited sources.

The founders first sold AI reports for many jobs, from lesson plans to travel plans, and kept the one that people paid for: the business idea check. It cost about US$185 to start, so nearly all revenue was profit. An Instagram creator's video in June 2023 brought more than US$10,000 of sales in one week. Six months after launch they sold it through Acquire.com.

A web app that writes SQL queries from requests in plain English, and explains, fixes and speeds up existing queries, for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, SQLite, Snowflake, BigQuery and other databases. Paid plans connect to the customer's own database and run read-only queries, also from Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor.

It launched in October 2021 with one narrow promise, write SQL without knowing SQL, on OpenAI's Codex and GPT-3 models and a no-code app builder. It kept its prices low, built a site of more than 700 pages, among them SQL lessons, templates and comparisons, and added what a general chatbot does not have: a live, read-only connection to the customer's database. Its recurring revenue, as the founder reported it, doubled in 2024 to about US$10,000 a month.
