### Welcome to Your New Favorite Presentation Tool

Building presentations used to take hours. But with [**Gamma.app**,](https://gamma.app/?ref=arbaaa.com) it takes minutes. As part of our **"**[**AI Tools 101**](https://www.arbaaa.com/tag/ai-tools-101-series/)**"** series, this guide walks you through how to create high-quality, interactive decks using nothing but a prompt (and zero design experience).

Whether you're a founder, marketer, educator, or student, Gamma helps you communicate ideas visually without ever opening PowerPoint.

## **What Is Gamma.app?**

Gamma is an AI-powered presentation and document builder that lets you create clean, professional decks from a single idea. You can:

- Generate slides from a text prompt
- Use existing files or websites
- Fully customize with layouts, AI images, and embedded content

No slide formatting. No design headaches. Just polished, interactive results.

## **Three Smart Ways to Start**

Once you sign up (free plan available), you’ll land on the **Create** screen. You can start a presentation in three ways:

- **Paste in long text or outlines** (like from ChatGPT)
- **Upload content** like a PDF, Google Doc, Notion file, or even a website URL
- **Enter a one-line prompt** to let Gamma generate a full outline automatically

Choose your method, then pick how many slides (called "cards") you want. The free plan supports up to 10 cards.

## **3\. Customize Your AI-Generated Deck**

After Gamma creates your outline, you can:

- Reorder slides, delete or add new ones
- Choose how much text appears per card (Brief is ideal)
- Decide if you want Gamma to pull images from the web or generate them with AI

You’ll even be able to choose an AI model like **Flux Fast 1.1** and set the image style, all inside the same interface.

> 💡 After this step, you’ll see how many credits it costs. The free plan gives you 400 credits to start.

## **4\. Pick a Theme and Let Gamma Build**

Gamma gives you themed templates, such as light, dark, colorful, or minimalist. Choose the one that fits your message, then hit **Generate**.

In seconds, Gamma will build your first draft. You’ll land inside the editor with your deck ready to review, revise, and present.

## **5\. Total Control in the Editor**

Just because it’s AI-generated doesn’t mean you’re stuck with it. Inside the editor, you can:

- Change text, colors, layout, and image position
- Add or remove bullet points
- Use AI to rewrite or expand content

For example, you can click a slide and type: *"Add a bullet that says this cookie is our most requested flavor",* and Gamma will update the formatting automatically.

## **6\. Add Smart Blocks and Embeds**

Want to go beyond text and images? Gamma lets you insert advanced blocks with just a **slash command** or using the **Insert** panel:

- Google Forms
- YouTube, TikTok, Loom videos
- Giphy GIFs
- Charts, Miro boards, Airtable, Figma, and more

Perfect for pitch decks, customer onboarding, or interactive content.

## **7\. Share and Export Anywhere**

When your presentation is ready, hit **Share**. You can:

- Send via email with view or edit access
- Copy a public URL
- Export as PDF, PowerPoint, or PNG
- Embed the deck into your website

And yes—Gamma tracks analytics. See who viewed it, which slides they spent time on, and how they engaged.

## **8\. Present with Style**

Ready to pitch? Click **Present** to launch full-screen mode with smooth animations and keyboard controls. It's clean, fast, and feels like a native app.

## **9\. Use Your Own Branding**

Have an existing deck with brand fonts, logos, and colors? Gamma lets you **import your theme** from PowerPoint or Google Slides. It’ll auto-create a branded theme for future use.

## **You Just Need an Idea to Begin**
