Gamma.

How to prepare material for a presentation

Gamma is useful when you already have the material but arranging it into a clear sequence takes too long. Start with a prompt, text or a supported import to obtain a basis for further work. It is not a standalone general-purpose language model: it organises the creation of visual material.

The author still makes the first decision: what the viewer should understand. Define the main point, audience and desired action so the structure can be checked before choosing images or styling.

Start with an outline, then create cards

Agree on the contents and argument order before expanding each section. Repeated points and missing evidence become easier to spot. An attractive layout can hide the problem but cannot solve it.

Gamma offers tools for editing content and design. You can refine the prompt, change the presentation and adjust the result manually. Choose an approach based on whether the whole narrative needs rebuilding or just one element needs fixing.

Imports, exports and collaboration

The official website describes presentations, documents, web pages and other visual material. Supported import and export formats, along with branding features, vary by plan.

Before preparing a large presentation, test the export with a small example. A layout that looks good in the browser may need adjustments in another program. Pay particular attention to tables, long headings, fonts and image placement.

A small working example

Prepare three things for a short report: verified results, an explanation of their significance and the next step. Ask for a proposed section order first. If the structure makes sense without styling, move on to design. If the meaning falls apart, extra illustrations will only add work.

After export, open the file in the program that will be used by the recipient. Check it on a real screen, and not only in editing mode.

What Gamma does not check for the author

Generated figures, sources and conclusions need to be checked. For the report, pass the verified data, and do not ask to fill in the gaps with plausible facts. The selected illustration should also correspond to the meaning.

There is free access and paid plans with additional features. Official APIs and integrations allow you to include Gamma in the workflow, but their access and limits need to be checked separately.
