The Walkthrough
Step 1: Describe Your Presentation
What to do: Go to Gamma and sign up. Click “Create new” and choose “Presentation.” Type a description of what you need: “10-slide pitch deck for a SaaS startup that helps restaurants manage online orders. Include problem, solution, market size, business model, traction, team, and ask.” Gamma generates a complete deck.
Why you’re doing it: Gamma doesn’t just make slides — it structures your narrative, writes the content, selects imagery, and designs the layout. You go from “I need a deck” to “I have a deck” in under 5 minutes.
What to expect: 2–3 minutes for generation. You’ll get a fully designed deck with content, images, and professional layout.
Step 2: Refine the Content
What to do: Click through each slide and edit the text. Replace placeholder numbers with your real data. Swap generic images for your product screenshots or team photos. Adjust the narrative to match your actual story.
Why you’re doing it: Gamma gives you the structure and first draft. Your job is to make it true and specific. Generic pitch decks fail — specific ones succeed.
What to expect: 15–20 minutes to customize all slides. The design stays intact as you edit.
Step 3: Choose Your Design Theme
What to do: Click the theme selector and choose a visual style that matches your brand. Adjust colors to your brand palette. Gamma maintains design consistency across all slides automatically — no manual formatting.
Why you’re doing it: Consistent design signals professionalism. Gamma handles alignment, spacing, font sizing, and visual hierarchy so you don’t accidentally create a Frankenstein deck with 6 different font sizes.
What to expect: 5 minutes. Every slide updates simultaneously when you change the theme.
Step 4: Present or Share
What to do: Present directly in Gamma (it has a built-in presenter mode), export as PDF or PowerPoint, or share as a live link. Live links update in real time — make changes and everyone with the link sees the latest version.
Why you’re doing it: Flexibility in how you deliver. In-person? Use presenter mode. Remote? Share the link. Need a PDF for an attachment? Export. One deck, every format.
What to expect: Instant. No rendering or download wait times.

What to Do If It Doesn’t Work
- Generated content is too generic: Provide more specific information in your initial prompt. Include your actual product name, target market, and key metrics.
- Design doesn’t match your brand: Upload your logo and set exact hex color codes in the theme editor. Gamma adapts the entire deck to your branding.
