Our Review
Ever since ChatGPT came out, the world has been watching management consultants squirm. And with tools like Gamma, they've got to be sweating just that much more in the age of AI.
Gamma uses AI to generate slide decks, docs and webpages. But it's the first that you should care about. Making a good slide deck strikes that perfect balance between visual and text that makes everyone feel like they're bad at it. So it's high time we have AI take over.
How it works
If you're starting from scratch, you can ask Gamma to start from a single prompt. Gamma will then generate an outline (much like ChatGPT would), then turn it into slides.
If you already have some notes, you can also dump those in and Gamma will do the same.
Voila, you've got a slide deck, complete with formatting and pictures.
Is it good? It's complicated
We've showed Gamma around to a wide variety of folks, and we get mixed reactions. This largely depends on what type of work you do.
For anyone whose job relies on slides, you probably treat slides as a leave-behind document. These are complex documents: charts, specific visual layouts and coloring all make a difference. For this crowd, Gamma didn't come close.
But lots of people don't fit this mold. If you're doing a quick update presentation to your team, Gamma is great. If slide decks are more talking points than full-on documents, this works perfectly. It all depends on what a slide deck is for you.
