The result is a CRM where the entire outbound workflow - call, log, send follow-up email, schedule next call, move pipeline stage - happens without switching applications.

The Meeting Notetaker transcribes and summarizes every Zoom, Teams, and Meet call on all plans.

There is no workspace configuration, no template library to navigate, and no design system to set up. After signing in, the creation flow presents three options: generate from a text prompt, import from an existing document or URL, or start from a blank canvas. Choosing the prompt option opens a single text field. Entering a topic, selecting a card count and theme, and clicking generate produces a complete, structured presentation in under 60 seconds. The output contains varied slide layouts, AI-selected imagery from Unsplash, and content that follows a logical narrative structure - section headers, supporting points, and callout slides - rather than repeating the same bullet format.","Workspace setup for teams adds user invitations and shared folders, both of which complete in minutes without any administrative configuration.

Changing a layout, swapping an image, or rewriting a section takes seconds rather than minutes. The Spotlight Mode feature, which blurs unviewed elements during a live presentation to focus audience attention on the current slide, is a genuinely useful addition that no traditional presentation tool offers natively.","Gamma Agent, launched in September 2025, is the most significant feature addition in the product's history.

The API on Pro enables integration with Zapier, Make, and ChatGPT, allowing Gamma to sit inside automated content production workflows rather than operating as a standalone tool.","The depth limitations are concentrated in two areas. First, export quality: PDF exports are clean, but PowerPoint exports flatten dynamic content into images that cannot be edited in PowerPoint natively - a hard boundary for teams whose workflow requires a functional .pptx. Second, customisation ceiling: the block-based editor enforces consistent professional layouts but cannot accommodate the fine-grained typography, animation sequencing, or custom branded layout requirements that corporate design standards sometimes demand.
