What is Gamma?
Gamma is an AI presentation tool that turns a short prompt or outline into a fully designed slide deck, document, or webpage in a few minutes. It automatically handles layout, styling, and images, so students without design experience can still produce a polished-looking deck. A free plan includes a monthly allotment of AI credits, with paid plans adding unlimited generation.

Is Gamma free?
Yes — there is a free plan you can use without paying.
Free plan includes a limited number of AI credits per month; paid plans add unlimited generation and more export options.
How to use it well
Paste your outline or notes in rather than a vague one-line prompt for a more accurate first draft
Always edit the generated content for accuracy since the AI can rephrase facts imprecisely
Limitations to know about
Monthly AI credit limit on the free plan
Less precise manual control than dedicated slide software
