Y’all, we need to talk about Gamma. Because if you are still manually dragging text boxes around a slide, you are officially living in the past.
Gamma has now crossed over 400 million assets generated and serves over 70 million users. The wild part? You don’t need to know a single thing about design to make a deck that looks like it costs $5,000. Just type a prompt, and boom. AI builds the entire thing in under a minute.
Step 1: Sign up and grab the "Goodies" Head to gamma.app and snag your 400 free AI credits. Click "Create New AI" and choose your flavor: Generate (AI does the heavy lifting), Paste (fix your messy notes), or Import (rescue those old slides).
Step 2: Let the AI "Brain" take over Type one sentence describing what you need. (Example: "A 10-slide deck about why my cat should be President.") The AI will spit out an outline. Tweak it if you want, or pick a gorgeous theme from the gallery, and hit "Generate." You’ll watch the magic happen in about 60 seconds.
Step 3: The "Polish" Phase This is where it gets fun. Click any text to edit it, or hit the sparkle icon (✨) to ask the AI to rewrite it for you. You can type "/" anywhere to insert videos, charts, or even embed a TikTok. Want to change the whole vibe? Swap themes with one click and the AI realigns everything instantly.
Step 4: Share and Export Present in full-screen mode right from your browser or share a live link. If you have to go "old school," you can export to PowerPoint, PDF, or PNG images.
The Automated Pro Tips:
Use the AI Agent: Gamma's new "Agent" is basically a design partner. You can literally tell it "make this slide more visual" or "add a timeline," and it handles the layout changes while you watch.
The "Magic" Import: Don't delete your old PowerPoints. Import them into Gamma and let the AI give them a modern, 2026 glow-up.
Embed Everything: Since Gamma is web-native, you can embed Google Drive files, YouTube videos, and interactive charts that actually move.
Everything you need to know:
You start with 400 credits (a deck usually costs around 40).
It works for more than just slides. You can generate landing pages, documents, and social posts too.
The AI handles the "white space," the fonts, and the color palettes. You just bring the ideas.
The Bottom Line: If you are still fighting with slide templates in 2026, you’re doing it wrong. Gamma turned presentation-making into a conversation, and the results are honestly better than what most pros can do manually.
