Why Gamma.app is a dream (and a secret weapon)
Still copying and pasting your content into Canva or PowerPoint templates, trying to make things look “professional”? You can officially retire that routine.
With Gamma.app, you just write or paste in your content, then click a button that says something like:
“Make this more visual”
“Format this into an infographic”
“Break into bullet points”
And it just... does it. No dragging, dropping or resizing boxes one pixel at a time.
🧠 Think of it like moving from content creator to creative director. You bring the brainpower - Gamma brings the layout magic.
You're full of great content - but when it comes to turning it into something visually polished, the wheels fall off. You open Canva, tinker with a template, get distracted by font choices… then give up and send the raw doc instead.
Or maybe you’re delivering training via PDF or email, knowing deep down it would land better with visual structure and flow - but who has time to learn Canva properly?
That’s exactly where Gamma.app swoops in like a design-savvy superhero. It turns content chaos into scroll-stopping, professional decks that actually look as valuable as what you’re teaching.
What needs fixing
Here’s what I hear from service providers and course creators constantly:
“I know my content is strong - but it looks thrown together.”
“Design slows me down. I’ve wasted hours resizing text boxes.”
“I’ve got the content, I just need it to look like something.”
Sound familiar?
Most people don’t need more tools. They need a tool that will take their messy notes, their expert voice, and their brilliant brain dumps… and turn them into a beautiful, digestible resource - without making it a second job.
What makes Gamma.app brilliant?
✅ Instant visuals without the manual effort
Rather than spending 45 minutes nudging boxes into place, you simply click “make more visual” and Gamma reshuffles the layout beautifully. It turns your content into clean, interactive decks in seconds - not hours. You can absolutely automate graphic design!
✅ Fully branded decks (with paid account)
On a paid plan, you can save unlimited brand colours - so whether you’re using your own style guide or building for clients, every slide stays perfectly on-brand. No hex code hunting required.
✅ Export flexibility for every use case
Need to send it as a PDF, share it as a live deck, or embed it in a course platform? Gamma has you covered with robust export options, including PowerPoint downloads and private links.
✅ Design becomes fun, not frustrating
You don’t need to be a graphic designer anymore. You become the reviewer - refining tone, adjusting structure and exploring layouts with a few clicks. It’s creativity on your terms.
✨ Bonus: it feels like magic. You press a button, and the whole slide transforms in front of you - structured, styled and ready to present.
Why this matters for your business - automate graphic design
📚 Your content becomes evergreen assets
Reuse one deck for a masterclass, onboarding sequence, freebie download, proposal, or even a pitch. Better yet, recycle with a prompt! Import an old powerpoint to regenerate for different work.
🧠 Your authority lands faster with visual learners
Structured content plus great visuals = trust, clarity and a better client experience.
⏳ You don’t need to be a designer - or hire one
The AI handles visuals, layout and structure. You just bring the brains.
Key questions to ask before jumping in
Do I regularly deliver or present content to clients or audiences?
Do I want my content to look polished but don’t want to DIY design?
Do I have outlines, blog posts or SOPs I could turn into slides or visuals?
Would I love a tool that does the heavy lifting without needing a new subscription right away?
If you nodded to any of those, Gamma.app is going to feel like magic.

📝 Gamma can also translate, summarise or restructure your content into slides in one click.
✅ Step 4: choose your layout style
Gamma will offer themed layouts based on your tone and audience

✅ Step 7: export or share
Share as a public or private link
Export to PDF or PowerPoint if needed (note: PDF exports are part of the paid tier)
What about the free account?
Good news - you can do almost everything on Gamma without paying a cent. I personally thinks it worth paying for to really utilise. Its a huge ROI - $96USD a year!
Included in the free version:
Unlimited decks
All themes and smart layouts
Royalty-free image generation
AI writing and editing tools
Public sharing and embedding
You only hit the paywall if you want to:
a) remove Gamma branding
b) export to high-resolution PDF or PowerPoint
c) create private or password-protected decks
🎓 Tip: Most service providers will get plenty of value from the free plan. Upgrade only when you’re ready to white-label, export professionally, or lock down content for premium use.

Subject: Can you create our next training deck in Gamma?
Hi [Team member],
Can you please take the outline/old powerpoint I’ve attached and drop it into Gamma.app to create a training deck?
Here’s the tool: https://try.gamma.app/e36j3wpveme8
Use the ‘From prompt’ option, give it "generate" creative licence, and let it add visuals and structure. Choose a clean layout that’s easy to skim and brand-aligned.
This will save me hours and helps us reuse this content across onboarding, proposals and more.
Thanks heaps,
