Gamma

What is Gamma?

Gamma is an AI-based visual creation platform designed for presentations, documents, websites, and social media content. Users can enter a topic, paste text, import files, or use connected data sources; the system then generates an outline, copywriting, card layouts, and accompanying images.

Unlike traditional slides that use a fixed layout, Gamma organizes content in responsive cards; it allows for scrolling while reading, as well as page-by-page presentation in demo mode. Once completed, the content can be shared online, used for collaboration and analysis, or exported to PowerPoint, PDF, PNG, and Google Slides.

Main functions of Gamma

• Generate presentations, documents, web pages, and social media posts based on prompts;
• Import content from text, web pages, PDFs, Word, and PowerPoint;
• First, create an outline, then choose the topic, tone, length, and source of images.
• Use smart cards and layouts to automatically maintain visual consistency;
• Use AI Agents to add pages, rewrite text, search for and edit images;
• Use various AI image models to create or modify accompanying images;
• Embed videos, tables, charts, web pages, and other interactive content;
• Real-time collaboration, with options to set views, comment, and edit permissions;
• Publish a website using the Gamma subdomain or connect to a custom domain name;
• Content is automatically generated through MCP, connectors, and the Generate API.

AI generation and Agent editing

When creating new content, one can choose to generate it directly, paste text, use templates, or import files; in paid workspaces, it is also possible to use Create with Agent to combine multiple sources. Agent allows for the addition of executive summaries, rewriting of paragraphs, extraction of information from images, adjustment of the structure, and further generation of visual elements.

AI is suitable for quickly creating a first version, but it does not guarantee the accuracy of facts, figures, and citations. When the content is intended for customers, educational purposes, or public dissemination, it is necessary to check each piece of information to ensure that it is accurate with respect to the original sources.

Card layout and visual design

Gamma automatically adjusts the height of the cards and their layout based on the length of the content; users can change the layout, move content elements around, modify the theme, and apply brand-specific fonts and colors. Interactive elements allow presentations to include videos, applications, forms, and real-time content.

Custom themes can be imported from PowerPoint or Google Slides; it is also possible to upload fonts, accent colors, and brand elements. For complex brand guidelines, it is still necessary to create templates and manually check the appearance on different devices, as well as in various export formats and screen resolutions.

AI images and Studio Mode

Gamma offers basic, advanced, Premium, and Ultra versions of image models, with different ranges of capabilities for each package. The Ultra Studio Mode is designed for full-page image slideshows and social media content, offering a stronger cinematic feel and visual storytelling capability.

Website publishing and analysis

All users can publish content on the free Gamma subdomain; the platform handles hosting and SSL. Users at the Pro level and above can use their own domain names and benefit from more detailed analysis of visits and audience engagement.

The Gamma website is suitable for event pages, personal profiles, resource hubs, and simple landing pages. When complex backends, membership systems, transaction functions, or advanced technical SEO are required, it is advisable to consider professional website development platforms.

Connectors, MCPs, and APIs

The inbound connector allows the Agent to read-only access to the data in Notion, Slack, Granola, Linear, HubSpot, Stripe, and other platforms that the user has been authorized to use. The administrator first approves the connector, after which members can connect their personal accounts; Gamma then only reads the content to which the user has access.

Users on the Pro plan and above can use the official Gamma Generate API to create presentations, documents, web pages, social media posts, and standalone images. The official API version 1.0 is now available; it supports API keys or OAuth, and is suitable for integration with Zapier, Make, n8n, as well as custom systems.

Content type and use cases

Gamma price

Gamma offers Free, Plus, Pro, and Ultra plans for individuals, while it provides Teams and Business plans for teams. The table below shows the typical monthly subscription prices in dollars; these prices can vary depending on region, taxes, promotions, and annual discount offers. The final amount will be determined according to the details on the account settlement page.

Gamma subscriptions are billed on a per-user basis; each paid member in a multi-user workspace incurs a fee for their own seat. Paid users can purchase additional seats at a rate of $6 per 1,500 points, with these points belonging to the individual rather than being shared among team members.

Differences in integration and functionality

Unused monthly points can be carried over, although the maximum balance is usually twice the monthly quota; points purchased do not expire during the validity period of the subscription.

After cancellation and return to Free, any remaining monthly credits, carried-over credits, and purchased points will become invalid at the end of the current billing period.

Usage restrictions and precautions

• Once the initial Free points are used up, they are not automatically recharged on a monthly basis.
• Agents, AI-generated images, APIs, and advanced models all consume points.
• AI may fabricate data, as well as quote and provide product information;
• There may be differences in layout when exporting to PPTX, Google Slides, and PDF.
• Gradient titles and certain special effects may change in third-party software;
• The imported file mainly restructures the content; it does not guarantee a pixel-perfect replication of the original document.
• The Gamma website is not suitable for complex backends and highly customized applications;
• Subscribing by seat and using individual points increase the management costs for large teams.

Privacy, security, and copyright

Gamma uses HTTPS and secure communication protocols to protect data transmission, and users can manage whether the content should be used to improve AI functions through Data Control. The personal workspace allows such use by default, while the Teams and Business workspaces automatically disable this option.

Inbound connectors operate in a read-only mode with individual authorization, but the data they reference still enters the AI generation process. Before processing customer information, financial data, and internal communications, it is necessary to check the connector settings, sharing options, retention rules, and organizational policies.

• Only connect to the data sources that are necessary to complete the current task;
• Set the public link to read-only and disable unnecessary editing permissions;
• Disable AI-driven data improvement when sensitive content is involved;
• Before using AI-generated images, check for permissions regarding people, trademarks, and third-party materials;
• The API Key is stored only on the server and is rotated regularly.

API, GitHub, and open-source information

The Gamma Generate API 1.0 is now officially available; it can be used to create demonstrations, documents, web pages, social media posts, and standalone images. It supports the use of themes, folders, email sharing, as well as longer input texts. The API charges fees based on the user’s points, and the actual amount deducted from those points should serve as the basis for determining the cost.

The Gamma core editor, hosting services, and AI design system are not open-source products. The official GitHub repository provides some general components and internal tools, but the third-party Open Gamma project is not the complete official source code for Gamma.app.
