Hebbia just made its first acquisition. But who would’ve thought it would be a PowerPoint generator?
On paper, it sounds almost underwhelming until you realize how much time finance, legal, and consulting teams still spend manually formatting slides. For a company building one of the most advanced agentic AI platforms on the market, the move is less about aesthetics and more about completing the workflow.
The startup it acquired, FlashDocs, has quietly built a tool that turns LLM output, markdown, and structured data into branded, export-ready slide decks. It’s already producing over 10,000 slides a day across enterprise use cases. Now, as part of Hebbia, it will automate the part of the job no one wants to talk about but everyone has to do.
“You’d find the insight, and then you’d go into the Microsoft Office suite, and it was painful,” said George Sivulka, Hebbia’s CEO. “With this acquisition, we’re moving further and further beyond chatbots.”
Automating the Work That Still Gets Done by Hand
FlashDocs was founded in 2024 by Morten Bruun and Adam Khakhar. Their bet was simple: slide decks are still the universal output of knowledge work, and no one had nailed the infrastructure for generating them at scale.
They weren’t wrong. Hebbia, which works with clients like KKR, MetLife, Fenwick, and the U.S. Air Force, uses AI agents to extract insight from complex documents—SEC filings, contracts, investor memos. But the final packaging? Still human. Still manual. Still painful.
FlashDocs changes that. Its product lets users go from JSON or markdown to fully formatted decks with custom branding, tables, charts, and layout logic. It supports both PowerPoint and Google Slides, and it’s designed for integration meaning Hebbia customers can now build and export presentation-ready documents directly through the platform.
From AI That Assists to AI That Delivers
FlashDocs gives Hebbia the ability to automate the output layer of its workflows, investment decks, diligence summaries, board updates. These are the assets that move decisions forward. With FlashDocs, they can be generated instantly and at scale.
“We admire what the Hebbia team has built and its vision to power the next generation of knowledge work,” said FlashDocs CEO Morten Bruun. “Joining forces lets us offer a platform to analyze, iterate, and create all in one place.”
The acquisition also expands Hebbia’s platform footprint beyond the core interface. With FlashDocs powering the API and artifact generation layer, the company can plug into other systems across the financial enterprise, enabling fully autonomous reporting, documentation, and presentation generation. There’s something subversively smart about acquiring a slide deck generator in a year obsessed with copilots and multi-agent systems.
“FlashDocs automates the final mile of AI workflows,” the company noted in its announcement. “What once took hours of formatting and design now completes in seconds fast, consistent, and fully on-brand.”
