Gamma.app: creating presentations with AI

Gamma (gamma.app) is an AI tool that turns a short brief, a document or loose notes into a complete presentation, web page or document. You describe what you want, choose a style and Gamma sets up the structure, copy, images and layout. Then you edit everything yourself, just like in a normal editor.

The big difference with PowerPoint or Google Slides: you don't start with empty slides, but with a first version whose structure already works. That mainly saves time in the phase where you'd otherwise be shuffling text boxes.

What you make with Gamma

• Presentations for pitches, workshops, quarterly results or client proposals
• Documents shared as a link, with expandable sections and embedded video or charts
• Simple web pages for an event, promotion or product launch
• Social posts and visuals in the formats of different platforms

Why it's interesting for content

Complex material becomes easier to grasp when you make it visual. A long article about your approach, a research report or a product comparison can be turned into a clear, visual version to share with clients or internally. You reuse existing content in a form that sticks better.

Useful applications:

• Turning a blog or white paper into a presentation for a webinar or sales meeting
• Making a quote or proposal visual and interactive instead of a static PDF
• Preparing an internal knowledge session in an hour instead of an afternoon
• Creating a first pitch deck draft to discuss

What to watch out for

• Check every text. Gamma fills in with AI. Numbers, claims and names must be right, and the tool doesn't do that for you.
• Brand identity. Set your own colours, fonts and logo as a theme. Otherwise your presentations look like everyone else's.
• Less is more. The AI likes to make lots of slides. Trim back to what your story needs.
• Images and rights. Use your own images where possible. Check whether AI-generated or stock images fit your brand.
• Exporting. You can export to PDF and PowerPoint, but not all formatting transfers one-to-one. Test it before an important presentation.

Free or paid?

Gamma has a free version with a limited number of AI credits and a Gamma watermark. Paid plans give more credits, no watermark, custom domains and more AI features. Check Gamma's site for current prices.

Gamma alongside other tools

Use NotebookLM to first get to grips with your source material, then turn the essence into a presentation in Gamma. For more extensive design and brand assets, Canva and Figma are stronger. Want to build an interactive tool or full website? Then Lovable is a logical next step.
