Review Gamma?
Reviews portray Gamma as fast and intuitive, with many users praising time saved and clean results. Maker feedback is especially enthusiastic: makers of
credit Gamma’s AI for helping them start and finish presentations; makers behind a Workato hackathon entry highlight the Gamma API enabling automated, NL-driven deck creation. Critics cite inconsistent AI visuals, limited design flexibility, occasional downgrades, and poor support or refund experiences. Overall sentiment is strongly positive despite notable service concerns.
Amazing concept blending the experience of decks and docs. Over the years I've found myself presenting straight from google docs, due to ease of use and collaboration. Gamma brings the umph and flair back to my presentations, with their expandable card design elements allowing you to no longer have to make tradeoffs between content depth and visual highlights. Truly a unique tool!
I loved testing Gamma to create presentations from scratch, it removes the block you face when you start a new deck by providing templates and creating initial slides. However, I couldn't generate a slide by providing only text, so looking forward to that functionality being developed. Also, a text-to-graph feature would be nice to have. Overall, recommend it to everyone!
Didn't realize how much I needed this until I tried it out! As a Product Manager I'm always building slide decks that mix text and visuals, but building slides is super time consuming and the form factor is so limited. With Gamma I can move fast, fit content flexibly, showcase visuals more powerfully, and build something beautiful.

Initially very impressive, speeds up time to create a new PPT from scratch. As you use it more and more though it starts to lose some of it's luster. The AI capabilities are much better today than they were 3 months ago and I'm sure they'll be much better in 3 more months. Still a decent amount of inaccuracy when it comes to requests thru the AI tool. It's good and getting better but still has a ways to go to be amazing.

I go back and forth between Canva and Gamma. Gamma is better at creating thru AI tool. Canva's AI tool is severely lacking but Canva's templates and libraries are much deeper. It's a coin toss right now between the two. Neither blow my socks off but they are both okay at some standard things that increase productivity
How well does branding import match our style guide?
Not very well. Does not import and implement branding guidelines and logos very well.
Do exported files keep layouts and fonts correctly?

Overall, it’s super nice to use. You can literally generate a clean presentation in minutes. Just drop a prompt and it builds the slides, layout, even images. For fast drafting or internal decks, it saves a lot of time.
What needs improvement
context drift (1)
A few downsides though:
Customization is pretty limited, so if we need strict brand guidelines, it’s a bit tricky.
Sometimes the layout shifts when exporting to PDF/PPT, so final polishing is still needed.
But for quick pitches, internal reviews, or early drafts, it’s more than enough. Super helpful when we need speed.
vs Alternatives
I picked Gamma because it just makes slides fast, simple and enough for internal quick sharing session.
Is the browser editor smooth on lower-end machines?
As a paying subscriber, my account was suddenly deactivated with no clear explanation. Support only pointed to an automated “terms violation” flagged by their algorithms, but never specified what rule was broken. On top of that, I lost access to all my documents and was still charged afterward. Terrible transparency and customer care — I cannot recommend Gamma.As a paying subscriber, my account was suddenly deactivated with no clear explanation.

Gamma was already awesome, now with Gamma 3, there's no word to explain how I'm satisfied using this smart content creation tool for nearly 100% of my needs, from social media to presentations and even sales rooms!
Cherry on the cake : their API, now available. My Sales room template is ready, my automation too, using the Gamma API, and no later than this morning I've automated a sales room creation for a lead captured using a form on a Gamma powered website. Gamma is now ALL-IN-ONE! Smarter then ever!
Thank you team Gamma!

Gamma is much more than a slide design tool - it's really the next jump in my productivity journey. I used to spend massive time jotting notes, transferring them to docs, then cobbling stuff together into slideware. Lots of manual work for each occasion... and embedding any dynamic content was awkward... Notion first changed my relationship with docs, and now Gamma comes along as a natively visual, dynamic, and responsive medium - I can work directly in Notion + Gamma, doing research, writing ideas, and embedding anything I want from videos to spreadsheets, and the result is instantly fit for sharing with others. Honestly it's impossible to imagine going back to the old ways.

All of my clients know I live and breathe this software. If Notion or Confluence and Keynote or Google Slides had a baby with a dash of powerful AI - that's Gamma. Just tell it what type of presentation you need to write about, pick a theme (or create your own with your custom fonts!!), and get ready to freak out. It creates a perfect outline, breaks down your content and adds relevant visuals in under a minute. I personally use it to approve/collaborate on client deliverables, send my estimates, document and share my tiered services, and more. Thank me later.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using Gamma. Huge improvement over the current doc and deck model. Writing a memo is intuitive and frictionless. Themes allow non-designers to build beautiful presentations easily. Present mode gives the presenter tools to navigate content easily while emphasizing what’s important. The Gamma team is super talented and of really high character. Highly recommend this product to anyone that communicates information through written word and in presentations.

Gamma makes a flashy first impression with its clean, modern interface, but the excitement fades once you start creating presentations. Despite bold promises, the tool’s quality falls far short of expectations and often feels misleading.
Gamma’s AI-generated visuals are chaotic, glitchy, and largely unusable for professional or educational use. Even premium illustrations under paid plans are distorted and nonsensical, harming presentation credibility. Most users will find better, more reliable images through free resources like Google.
While Gamma offers various layouts, they come off as plain and uninspired—resembling basic PowerPoint or Google Slides decks without the unique style its marketing suggests. The presenting experience lacks energy, feeling more like scrolling a static webpage than viewing real slides, which hurts audience engagement.
Gamma’s premium pricing isn’t justified by the results. The gap between promises and actual performance is striking, making the tool feel like a recycled template machine with broken features rather than cutting-edge AI. For professionals and educators seeking impressive presentations, Gamma is unlikely to deliver real value. Though not outright scammy, its poor quality compared to the price makes it a weak investment.
For serious stuff and illustrations, just stick with standard AI like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, or Claude. They’re cheaper and give you way less nonsense.

We’re huge fans of the Gamma API. Our Workato Go Partner Hackathon submission — which ended up taking 1st place — showcased a Genie that instantly generated polished presentations with Gamma via an agent, proving how powerful orchestration can be. That experience inspired us to go further: we built a Gamma connector for Workato, so Gamma presentations can now be generated through natural language and content can be enhanced by any datapoint across thousands of apps, turning presentations and docs into part of true end-to-end automation.
