Gamma

What it does

Gamma turns an outline, a document or a few lines of notes into a presentation, a document or a simple web page, with layout and images done for you.

It is the fastest way to get a good-looking first draft of a deck.

Why use it

• A presentable deck in minutes from a few lines of text.
• Layouts adapt as you add or remove content.
• Share as a link, or export to PowerPoint or PDF.
• Good for internal updates and quick pitches.

How it works

1. Sign up in the browser.
2. Paste your outline or notes, or describe the deck you want.
3. Pick a theme and let it generate the slides.
4. Edit the words and images, then share or export.

How hard is it to use?

Beginner Easy to start. You need an account, not any technical know-how.

Very quick to start. Expect to edit the content: the design is the easy part, the message is still yours.

What it costs

Free plan; paid plans. A free plan with a starter allowance of AI credits. Paid plans add more AI use, removal of Gamma branding and more export options.

Prices change often, so check Gamma’s own site before you pay.

Watch out for

• Generated content can be generic or wrong. Rewrite it in your own words and check the facts.
• Exports to PowerPoint may need tidying.

Your data

Decks shared as links can be opened by anyone with the link unless you restrict them. Check before sharing anything confidential.
