What Is Gamma?
Gamma is a visual communication platform for presentations, documents, and more.
You can start with a prompt, an outline or a file, then refine the result with AI or edit it yourself.
Overview
Gamma can transform text into a dynamic presentation and offers smart templates and blocks.
The workflow can begin with a description of the deck, an outline or an uploaded document.
Users can edit slides, present in Gamma, share a live link or export the presentation.
Gamma also supports documents, websites, graphics and social content, alongside presentations.
How Gamma Works
Start from Home → Create by entering a request in the “What do you want to make?” box.
You can add a file, photo, template or existing Gamma using the add or connect control.
Plan mode lets you review the template and plan before generation; Express mode skips that review for a faster process.
After generation, you can refine slides with AI or edit them manually, then present, share or export the deck.
Practical Workflow Integration
Gamma can pull real content from Slack, Notion, Dropbox, and 25+ tools.
Teams can create custom themes to match their brand, and these are shared automatically with everyone in the workspace.
