How a lyricist used Chronicle to bring his Notion AI workflow to life on stage

A long-time Chronicle user takes the stage at Notion

Sean Wildenfree, a lyricist, creative entrepreneur, and technologist, has been part of the Chronicle community since the early days. He’s one of those users who constantly pushes tools to do more: experimenting, giving feedback, and sending in feature requests that end up shaping the product.

So when Sean was invited to speak at the Make with Notion Conference in San Francisco, he didn’t want to open PowerPoint or even Notion’s own presentation mode. He wanted to show how he builds music with AI, not just tell it. And for that, he wanted Chronicle.

A few weeks before the event, he emailed the team asking if he could present using Chronicle live on stage. It wasn’t a typical use case: it would involve live embeds, deep hover effects, and real-time interaction, but he was determined to make it work.

Behind the scenes, Chronicle’s founder Mayuresh worked closely with Sean to make sure everything ran smoothly. They optimized performance for live embeds and ensured the transitions would stay fluid during the conference.

Building a live, interactive presentation in Chronicle

Sean spent over a month preparing his presentation. What surprised the Chronicle team most was that he designed everything himself: experimenting with layouts, animations, and embed placements that mimicked his music workflow.

Each slide wasn’t just text or imagery. It looked like a web interface in motion — embedded Notion pages, scrolling tables, AI prompt templates, and even snippets of his songwriting process that were fully clickable.

He used Chronicle’s layout flexibility to show how AI integrates into his creative flow, embedding live Notion databases, and creating a visual rhythm that mirrored his production style.

By the time the Chronicle team saw his final draft, it looked less like a deck and more like a living web page.

Bringing live embeds to the stage

Instead of a typical PowerPoint or Google Slides PDF walkthrough, Sean built his talk directly in Chronicle and presented in Live Mode.

When he took the stage in San Francisco, the room expected another screen-share, but Chronicle made it feel completely different. His live Notion embeds loaded inside the deck, allowing him to click through his AI songwriting workflow, from his Notion databases to his prompt systems and version tracking, all interactively, without switching tabs.

The future of presentations is interactive

Most presentations are still static. Screenshots, bullet points, videos embedded as files. They look like slides, not like the web. What Sean showed on stage is what Chronicle has always believed, presentations should feel as fluid, responsive, and alive as the web itself. You shouldn’t have to export a video or a demo; you should be able to bring your product, workflow, or creative process directly into the presentation.

Chronicle’s live embeds and deep hover features make that possible. They let presenters create experiences that audiences can interact with, without losing flow or fidelity.

“Sean’s talk proved that Chronicle can go beyond business decks. It’s a canvas for interactive storytelling, for showing how things work, not just talking about them.”
