What you'll accomplish
You'll use Gamma.app to generate a complete, visually structured presentation deck from a text prompt or outline — turning what used to be a 3-hour PowerPoint session into a 20-minute editing task. This works for project kickoff decks, steering committee updates, executive briefings, and project close-out presentations.
What you'll need
- A Gamma.app account (free plan available; Plus plan at $8/user/month billed annually for unlimited AI generation)
- A brief outline or paragraph describing the presentation's purpose, audience, and key topics
- Your firm's brand colors (hex codes) if you want to match your company's style
- Time needed: 10 minutes to set up; 20–40 minutes to generate and edit a deck
- Cost: Free plan includes 400 AI credits at signup (~3–5 decks); Plus is $8/user/mo (annual) or $10/mo (monthly)
