Gamma
One of the few AI presentation builders that creates editable slides. That matters more than it sounds.
What I use it for
Where it shines
- Creates editable slides — not images of slides. This is a major gap that most AI slide builders haven't closed.
- Output quality is good enough for real presentations, not just demos.
- Interesting to watch where they go. The editable slide capability is a genuine differentiator.
Where it struggles
- Deeply tied to work, and Gamma isn't an approved tool at my company. Limits how much I can use it.
- The editable slide gap will close. Microsoft Copilot is almost there — already creates great slides but as images, not editable elements.
Notes
Gamma is quite good and I'm watching where they go. Made a few trial decks but haven't gone deep since presentations are tied to work and Gamma isn't approved. Where it shines: one of the few AI presentation builders that lets you edit the slides themselves. Even Microsoft Copilot (at least my version) still creates whole slides as images. Beautiful slides, but you rebuild them piece by piece or stick the full image in. Gamma gives you editable elements. That gap will close — Copilot can do analysis and create tabs in Excel, so editable slides must be coming. Until then, Gamma is the best option for editable AI-generated decks.
How to try it
Create a free account and generate a presentation on a topic you know well. Edit the slides directly. Compare that to Copilot or other AI slide builders that give you images.
