Gamma 已收购 Accel 支持的设计初创公司 Lica,并计划把后者的团队纳入自己的设计研究部门。Lica 两位联合创始人将负责这项工作。

Lica 成立于 2023 年,最初做的是把截图和录屏转成项目演示和视频的工具。公司在 2024 年融资 400 万美元,投资方包括 Accel、South Park Commons 和 Village Global。随后,Lica 转向为电商网站制作符合品牌规范的营销视频。

Gamma要扩展的不只是幻灯片

Gamma 目前仍以演示文稿工具为主,但也开始提供图像生成能力。公司表示,新研究部门将探索更多沟通形式,包括更流畅的多模态演示和其他视觉表达方式。

Lica 联合创始人 Priyaa Kalyanaraman 表示,双方都希望让视觉沟通更容易使用。她说,Gamma 更强在分发能力,产品已触达 1 亿以上用户;Lica 则更关注前沿研究。双方在 Accel 和 South Park Commons 的共同背景下建立联系,最终推动了这笔收购。

双方都押注AI沟通工具

Gamma 首席执行官 Lee Grant 表示,公司希望重新定义演示文稿的形态,让图片、交互和内容表达更贴近未来的使用方式。Lica 联合创始人 Purvanshi Mehta 则称,新团队会研究如何让 AI 模型针对不同受众和审美偏好,生成更适合的演示与沟通内容。

这笔交易也反映出 AI 演示赛道正在加速整合。过去几年,Prezent 融资 5000 万美元,Gamma 融资 6800 万美元,估值达到 21 亿美元。OpenAI 本月早些时候也收购了 NextSlide。
