Introduction
Gamma simplifies the process of creating presentations, documents, or webpages using AI-powered tools. Whether you need a structured first draft, want to refine existing text, or transform uploaded files, Gamma provides multiple options to streamline content creation.
What is Gamma’s Creation Feature?
🌀 Insight: Gamma provides three different modes to help users create visually appealing and structured content.
Generate – AI drafts an initial version based on your topic.
Paste – AI formats and refines pre-written content.
Import – AI converts existing files, decks, or web pages into a structured format.
How to Create a New Presentation, Document, or Webpage
Step 1: Access the Gamma Dashboard
Navigate to your Gamma dashboard.
Click "Create New AI".
Choose from the available creation modes: Generate, Paste, or Import.
Step 2: Choose the Right Mode for Your Needs
Generate (Best for First Drafts & Brainstorming)
Enter a topic, and Gamma will generate a structured draft.
Use "Advanced Mode" to refine the draft further.
Paste (Best for Formatting Existing Text)
Copy and paste your text (from notes, ChatGPT, or other sources).
Gamma will format it into a clean, fresh layout.
Import (Best for Converting Existing Files or URLs)
Upload a PowerPoint, document, or enter a URL.
Gamma will import your content and style it automatically.
Step 3: Edit and Refine Your Content
After creation, click the "sparkle icon" in the top-left of any card to edit with AI.
AI will suggest layout refinements and content improvements.
To edit multiple cards at once, use the "sparkle icon" in the top-right of your screen - available for Pro users.
How to Generate Without Images or Use Placeholders
When generating a new gamma, you have the flexibility to tailor the visual style from the start:
No Images: Choose "Don’t add images" to generate a clean, text-only gamma.
Image Placeholder: Choose "Image placeholders" to leave visual space you can fill in later with your own content.
🔷 Note: This gives you more creative control and helps streamline your workflow, whether you’re focusing on copywriting or planning to insert final visuals later!
