What is Gamma?
Gamma turns a topic, outline or existing document into a designed presentation, document or simple webpage, handling layout and visual design automatically so you can focus on content and then adjust the design afterward. It's positioned as a faster alternative to building slides manually in PowerPoint or Google Slides for early drafts. The free tier includes a limited number of AI credits; paid plans increase credits and add export/branding options. The practical value is mostly in the first draft: turning a rough outline (or an existing document you paste in) into something already laid out and visually coherent saves the time normally spent on slide-by-slide formatting before you can even judge whether the content works. Once that first draft exists, most people still go in and adjust individual slides by hand — Gamma is a starting point for structure and design, not a replacement for reviewing and refining the actual content and layout before presenting it.

Frequently asked questions
- Is Gamma free to use?
- The free tier includes a limited number of AI credits, which is usually enough to try generating a few presentations or documents. Heavier or ongoing use requires a paid plan with more credits.
- Can Gamma replace PowerPoint or Google Slides entirely?
- For most people it's a faster way to produce a first draft, not a full replacement — design customization is more limited than PowerPoint or Keynote, so complex or highly branded decks are usually still finished in a traditional tool.
- Does Gamma only make presentations?
- No — beyond slide decks, it can also turn an outline or document into a simple webpage or a formatted document, using the same prompt-to-layout approach.
