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.

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.
