That is such a crazy headline. The PR agent who got that wording placed will be dining out on that story for a while.
Personally, I think Bunkr is bunk. Yeah, let's take Powerpoint/Google Slides and slap web embeds on it. Even the article states:

If you need to create 10 slides with bullet points and tables, PowerPoint is still the right tool. But if you want to make a modern presentation with videos, articles from the web and tweet embeds, Bunkr is the way to go.

Personally I don't care if the product is web embeds or some other kind of tech. It seems to be good to make good-looking presentations and bad at making bullet-points and tables
I've been sharing Seth's Godin "Really Bad Powerpoint" http://www.sethgodin.com/freeprize/reallybad-1.pdf for nearly a decade now (it's been around since 2001, but I was a consultant back then. Tables and bullet points put food on my table) and I'm still hoping someone will help the rest of the world understand. Google Slides didn't achieve that (quite the opposite actually if you've ever seen some Slides presentations)
Prezi is definitely progress, but most people just import powerpoint presentations so it doesn't really work.
Conclusion: I won't judge Bunkr on features or tech, but on what presentations it actually yields.
(full disclosure: I don't know anyone in the Bunkr team personally, but I'm part of the same accelerator as them)

>>> articles from the web and tweet embeds.
I've been around the startup scene in my city for a while and have yet to come across a presentation where someone embedded tweets into their presentation.

you did not try it right...
The headline: Bunkr Is Now The Definitive PowerPoint Alternative Designed For The Web
The very first paragraph: Bunkr is a French startup that keeps reinventing itself. After making a big splash by promising the PowerPoint killer we’ve all been waiting for and struggling to raise a seed round, it is now starting from scratch again and rethinking from the ground up its presentation service.
Never realized "PowerPoint for the Web" was such a nascent field that a startup that is "starting from scratch again" could still become the definitive leader.
