Gamma

What is Gamma?

Gamma (Gamma.app) is a visual communication and productivity platform founded in 2020 by Jon Starrett, James Greenfield, and Nick Greenfield. Designed to replace traditional and time-consuming slide tools (such as Microsoft PowerPoint or Google Slides), Gamma allows users to input ideas or raw text files and receive presentations, interactive documents, or web pages with professional layouts and design generated by artificial intelligence.

How it works

Gamma's operation is focused on the simplicity and flexibility of responsive cards. The user types a prompt about the subject of the presentation (e.g., "Investor presentation for a sustainable logistics startup") or uploads an existing document (such as a Notion page or a Word file). Gamma's AI creates an organized content structure, selects a harmonic visual theme, and populates the slides with smart text, lists, tables, and illustrative images from integrated image libraries. Then, the user can interact with the assistant chat to change colors, change the layout of individual slides, or rewrite specific texts.

Key features

• Prompt-to-Presentation (Slides Generator): Automated generation of polished slide layouts based on natural language text descriptions.
• Flexible Cards Format: Unlike traditional slides with rigid sizing, Gamma uses dynamic cards that adapt and expand depending on content amount.
• Content Import: Intelligently converts raw notes, entire articles, or reports into clean presentations.
• AI-Assisted Editor: Conversational interface to ask for layout adjustments (e.g., "Organize this text into 3 columns and add a forest image").
• Direct Presentation and Publishing: Projects can be presented full screen with fluid animations or shared as public web pages.

Available integrations

Gamma allows embedding dozens of external tools directly into slides and cards, including YouTube, Vimeo, Google Drive, Loom, Figma, Miro, Airtable, Typeform, and interactive maps.

Who it is for

• Sales and marketing professionals who need to create commercial proposals and pitches quickly and effectively.
• Startups and founders preparing fundraising presentations (pitch decks) for investors.
• Teachers, speakers, and students looking to save time formatting visual study materials.

Real use cases

1. Pitch Decks for Investors: An entrepreneur enters a text summary of their new company and Gamma generates a 10-slide presentation organized by problems, solutions, and business model, ready to be adjusted and shown to venture funds.
2. Internal Training: HR teams use Gamma to create interactive welcome guides (onboarding) for new hires that can be read as a web page or presented as slides.
