Major Release
We've all been there: spending 3 hours aligning a text box in PowerPoint, only to realize the font size broke the layout. Gamma AI eliminates this pain. It treats content like "blocks" that automatically reflow to fit the container. It's closer to building with Lego than painting on a canvas.
The "Liquid Layout" Engine
Traditional presentation tools (Keynote, Slides) are canvas-based. You place an object at X:100, Y:200. If you add more text, it overlaps.
Gamma uses a Liquid Layout. If you paste a 500-word paragraph into a card, the card expands. If you drag an image next to it, the text wraps automatically. It feels magical—like having a professional designer sitting next to you, fixing your alignment in real-time.
Benchmarks: The 5-Minute Pitch Deck
We challenged a professional designer to create a 10-slide "Series A Pitch Deck" using both PowerPoint and Gamma AI.
| Metric | Gamma AI | PowerPoint (Copilot) | Canva |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to First Draft | 45 Seconds | 2 Minutes | 5 Minutes |
| Formatting Effort | Zero | High (Cleanup needed) | Medium |
| Design Aesthetic | Modern / Web-First | Traditional / Corporate | Creative / Artsy |
| Mobile Responsiveness | Perfect | Poor | Okay |
More Than Just Slides
Gamma's secret weapon is versatility. A "deck" in Gamma can be toggled into a "Document" or a "Webpage" with one click.
- Present Mode: Works like traditional slides with arrow keys.
- Doc Mode: Reads like a Notion page or a Medium article. Great for sending-ahead (pre-reads).
- Website Mode: Publishes to a custom domain instantly. Ideal for landing pages or portfolios.
Pricing Plans
Gamma uses a "Credit" system for generating AI content, but editing and presenting are free.
Final Verdict
Gamma is not just "PowerPoint with AI." It is a fundamental rethinking of how we share ideas. If you need pixel-perfect control over every shadow and gradient, stick to Figma or PowerPoint. But if you value speed, clarity, and aesthetics, Gamma is the future.
