Gamma: Death to PowerPoint?
Stop spending 4 hours aligning text boxes. Gamma builds beautiful decks in 30 seconds.
💰 The Founder's ROI
*Calculated by comparing time to build a 10-slide deck in PowerPoint vs Gamma.
What is Gamma?
Gamma is an AI-first presentation tool. You don't drag and drop boxes. You type "/deck about our Q3 growth strategy" and it generates the slides, layout, images, and text instantly.
It treats presentations more like "docs" that are styled, rather than rigid slides.
The Good (Why we use it)
- Speed: You can go from "Idea" to "Presentable Deck" in 60 seconds.
- Polished Design: It is almost impossible to make a Gamma deck look ugly. The themes are designer-grade.
- Embeds: You can embed live websites, Typeforms, and videos directly into slides.
The Bad (What sucks)
- Flexibility: You cannot move every pixel like in PowerPoint. You are constrained to their (beautiful) layouts.
- Export: PDF export works great, but exporting to editable PPT can sometimes be messy.

Final Verdict
If you are a founder or sales rep who needs to get an idea out FAST, Gamma is a lifesaver. If you are a professional designer who needs to control every pixel, stick to Figma/PPT.
