Quip builds out productivity offerings with 'Slides'
Quip, the collaborative word processing app acquired by Salesforce for $750 million, has added a new slideshow creation feature, further adding to its capabilities as a productivity suite.
Quip was initially focused purely on word processing, but expanded its focus with the addition of a spreadsheet tool. Now, with the debut of Slides, the company has three of the basic components of major office productivity suites offered by Microsoft and Google.
The idea behind Quip Slides is to allow creation of simple slideshows for team meetings rather than in-depth keynote presentations. That’s how such apps are most frequently used anyway, the company said.
