Gamma: our review

Gamma starts from a simple idea: the same content — pasted text, an imported document, a prompt — can become a presentation, a web page or a formatted document, without the user choosing the format before writing. The AI structures the text into cards, suggests a layout, and then lets the user adjust. For an SME preparing a sales offer or a client presentation, the value lies less in the generation itself than in the time saved on formatting, the step that usually takes the longest once the content is written.

What it actually does

You paste an outline, meeting notes or a brief; Gamma splits the text into cards, suggesting titles and an illustration per section. The theme editor then lets you set a style guide: colors, fonts, logo, card shape, and even style keywords for AI-generated images, so they stay visually consistent from one slide to the next. This theme is automatically shared across the whole team workspace, so a colleague never starts over from a default template. Once the content is ready, export to PowerPoint or PDF embeds the fonts directly in the file, including custom fonts, so the rendering stays faithful outside Gamma.

Why it interests us

Three uses in a single tool — presentation, document, site — avoids rebuilding the same content in three different pieces of software, a common need for freelancers and small teams with neither a designer nor time set aside for layout. Data handling, however, deserves a close look before a team-wide rollout: on an individual account, content is used by default to train Gamma's models, unless manually disabled in settings. On a Team or Business workspace, that opt-out becomes automatic and locked in — an argument worth making before rolling the tool out across a whole organization that handles sensitive documents.

Where it falls short

Two reservations to know before relying on Gamma for a final deliverable. First: the terms of use themselves describe AI-generated output as drafts, "provided as is", with no guarantee of accuracy, completeness or fitness for the subject covered — a review remains necessary before sending anything to a client or partner. Second: some visual effects specific to Gamma's interface, such as frosted backgrounds, custom image shapes or title gradients, don't always translate faithfully on PowerPoint or PDF export, since those formats don't support them natively. The exported result can therefore differ slightly from the online preview, a gap worth checking before an important presentation.

Our recommendation

To quickly produce a first draft of a presentation, document or web page from existing text, Gamma saves real time on formatting. For confidential content, or content meant for a demanding client, it's better to use a Team workspace, disable training on an individual account, and review the result before sending it out: the AI structures well, it doesn't replace human checking.
