Chronicle

Chronicle is an AI presentation platform (chroniclehq.com) that turns documents, notes, data, and business context into beautiful, fully editable, on-brand presentations, using templates from designers at Apple, McKinsey, BCG, and IDEO. Beyond the web app, Chronicle ships a developer surface: a workspace-scoped REST API at api.chroniclehq.com/api/v1 for listing templates, creating and generating presentations, uploading reference files, and polling asynchronous generation jobs; and a hosted, OAuth-secured MCP server at mcp.chroniclehq.com that lets AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) create presentations directly. Chronicle is used by teams including OpenAI, Ramp, Vercel, Notion, Figma, and Meta, and is backed by Accel.

Chronicle is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Cloud Saas, Presentations, Artificial Intelligence, and Productivity.

Chronicle’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, pricing, signup flow, support, engineering blog, and 26 more developer resources.

scored 2026-11-06 · rubric v0.27.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
  • Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document
  • Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
  • Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
  • A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
  • Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
  • Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
6 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):
Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/chronicle/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/chronicle to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.
