The backstory
Pitch is a presentation tool built for teams, with shared templates, brand locking, comments and analytics on sent decks. AI deck generators produce a first draft quickly, but the decks that matter get argued over line by line by several people. That collaborative editing and brand governance is the actual product. Generation became a feature inside Pitch rather than a replacement for it.
